Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for enriching the capabilities of an API management product by deploying an augmented circuit breaker policy at an API gateway to automate regression analysis. Based on the augmented circuit breaker policy, the API gateway may perform curative remedies when a triggering condition occurs, e.g. rolling back the software release or alerting administrators. In one use case, the augmented circuit break policy may mitigate the damage of a faulty software release by programmatically directing all requests received at the API gateway to a stable version of the API. The benefits may be extended by using machine learning to train normality models on the typical behavior of a particular API. A user may then configure an augmented circuit breaker policy to perform a programmatic rollback when the API gateway recognizes conditions that diverge from normal behavior.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for automatically cataloging updated Application Programming Interface (API) specifications with updated version numbers. The API specifications may have been previously published to an application exchange platform. An automatic cataloging tool installed at an API development system may identify an updated API specification committed to an API specification repository. The automatic cataloging tool may identify a base API specification that has been previously published and confirm that a change has been made. The base API specification may correspond to a particular API development branch that has been updated. The automatic cataloging tool may also apply a versioning strategy to automatically determine an updated version number for the updated API specification. The application exchange platform may then replace the previous API specification with the updated API specification and the updated version number.

Abstract: In order to reduce the number of instructions that the compiler generates to load the address of a global variable into a register, the compiler uses a technique that analyzes the global variables used in each function in order to estimate which global variables will be located within the same memory page and have a common base address. A base global variable is selected for each function whose address is fully resolved. The address of each subsequent global variable is constructed using an offset relative to the address of the base global variable that is based on the subsequent global variable's position in a global variable order list.

Abstract: There is provided an improvement for developing an application between an application server and one of multiple client devices where the application server is disposed remotely of the one of multiple client devices. In one example, an application behavior model (ABM) is produced and stored at the application server. Using an output corresponding with the one of multiple devices, program code for a client application is produced from a selected one of several configurable templates. Selected input, generated with the ABM and the program code, is received at the application server to cause a sequence of processing steps to be performed with the application server. In another example, the ABM is received at the one of multiple client devices, the one of multiple client devices including a user interface (UI). The ABM and client application are used to render a first page at the UI for providing an action identifier.

Abstract: An industrial installation or production facility and a method for managing and controlling production resources with one or more work cells. Certain production resources are organized into work cells, which are each formed from at least one processing machine of the plastics-processing industry and at least one peripheral device. The production resources are connected to a work cell controller, and are automatically detected by the work cell controller, whereupon the work cell controller performs the communication or data exchange with the company-internal network, e.g., an intranet and/or an internet, and with the production resources of the work cell, and establishes direct communication between the production resources. A software update can be performed in the work cell controller during the operation of the work cell. Furthermore, the work cell controller creates a list and assigns addresses for the connected production resources.

From the high-level description of the system, one or more directives are identified that (1) transform a portion of the system with a specific technique, (2) build a spatial layout for the system by dividing the system according to functionalities, and (3) specialize the system in response to the spatial layout. The intermediate representation of the system is modified in response to the one or more directives.

Abstract: A data processing device has a processor which executes software directly from non-volatile memory. The processor has a runtime component which dynamically maps software element identifiers specified by the software to corresponding software elements in memory. Mapping information is used to determine which software elements identifiers correspond to which software elements. This provides a level of indirection which can be used to make software updates more efficient, by updating only parts of the software while leaving old parts of the software as they are. Updated software elements can be stored to memory and the mapping information updated to point to the new elements, while existing mappings may be retained.
