Abstract: One example disclosed method involves a computing system receiving first data from a first application and second data from a second application. The first data may have a first format and be indicative of a first task, and the second data may have a second format different from the first format, and may be indicative of a second task. The computing system may determine, based in part on a first characteristic of the first data, a first client device to which a first indication of the first task is to be provided. The computing system may send, to the first client device, the first indication. The first indication may have a same format as a second indication of the second task sent to the first client device or a second client device. The same format may provide a uniform presentation of information relating to the first and second tasks.

Abstract: Cross-domain communication between a parent web page hosted in a parent domain and a child web page hosted in a different child domain is provided. Upon downloading the parent page and child page into a client's web browser, an IFM-channel connection can be established within the browser between the parent page and child page, which can be used to bidirectionally communicate text-based messages containing commands and HTML content directly between the parent page and child page. Additionally, an XML-channel connection can be established within the browser between the parent page and child page, which can be used to bidirectionally communicate text-based messages containing HTTP commands and XML content directly between the parent page and child page. This cross-domain communication of messages takes place completely within the browser.

Abstract: A development system providing a method for information hiding in executable programs is described. In one embodiment, for example, a method of the present invention is described for hiding information in computer programs, the method comprises steps of: receiving first input comprising program modules for a computer program being created, the program modules including data and code; receiving second input comprising information to be hidden in the computer program; linking together the program modules to form an executable computer program, including determining pads necessary for aligning data and code; and hiding the second input in the executable computer program by storing portions of the second input at locations in the executable computer program intended for pads.
