Abstract: An application mapping procedure obtains and aggregates application mapping information from a plurality of machines in a distributed system. An application dependency map, including first layer of application mapping information, is initialized, and then a first query is sent to one or more of the machines. In response, information identifying entities that have participated in predefined communications with entities identified in an existing layer of application mapping information in the application dependency map are received, and a second layer of application mapping information is added to the application dependency map, based at least in part on the information received in response to the first query. After adding the second layer of application mapping information to the application dependency map, a second query is sent to one or more of the of the endpoint machines, the second query being based at least in part on the application dependency map.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating communications between users in a supply chain are disclosed. In one implementation, a method includes receiving, from a user device of an end user, a request to create a shipment project. The request may include shipment data received from the end user. The method may further include creating, in the databases, the project based on the request, notifying a user device associated with a supplier that the supplier has been invited to the project, and receiving, from the user device associated with the supplier, an indication that the supplier approved the invitation. Furthermore, the method includes, after receiving the indication, adding the supplier to the project and receiving requests to invite additional users to the project. The additional users may include at least a trucking dispatch and a driver.

Abstract: A display device having dual purpose shelving includes spaced apart end brackets and a pivotal shelf. The shelf pivots from an upstanding position to a horizontal position. Below the shelf are a pair of spaced apart rods one of which is fixed and the other of which is moveable. The moveable rod can move to a stored position below the shelf or it can be moved to an unstored position for receiving a plurality of vases between the two spaced apart rods.
