Patent number: 10606665Abstract: Job execution can be scheduled and monitored. Execution of a job results in generation of one or more data slices, which can be consumed as input by one or more related jobs. Data slices can be presented in an interactive view. Selection of a data slice in the view can trigger automatic identification of related data slices based on dependencies between data slices. Each data slice can also include and be presented with a status indicating the availability of corresponding data, such as pending, ready, or failed. Furthermore, selection of a data slice that failed to generate successfully can trigger identification of related data slices that failed or are predicted to fail to generate successfully.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Andrew J.

Patent number: 8725776Abstract: A signature system with a mechanism to identify element(s) of a signed document includes a sender having a signature module with a digest generator. The digest generator generates digests for identifying selected elements of the document. The resulting “identifying” digests are then used in generating a signature in which the sender signs the digests rather than the original elements. The receiver can then process the signature and use these digests to distinguish between elements, as needed.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2010Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Vijay K. Gajjala, Giovanni M. Della-Libera, Vaithialingam Balayoghan, Tomasz Janczuk

Patent number: 8321833Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to a syntax for a scripting language that allows data intensive applications to be written in a compact, human friendly, textual format. The scripting language can be a declarative programming language, such as the “D” programming language, which is well suited to the authoring of data intensive programs. A compact query syntax is provided for D that simplifies the expression of complex and data intensive programs. In another non-limiting aspect, conventional operator precedence is modified to accommodate the compact syntax and other unique features of a general purpose declarative programming language.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2008Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David E.

Patent number: 8015204Abstract: Methods, systems, and data structures for communicating object metadata are provided. A generic metadata container is presented that allows object metadata to be described in an extensible manner using protocol-neutral and platform-independent methodologies. A metadata scope refers to a dynamic universe of targets to which the included metadata statements correspond. Metadata properties provide a mechanism to describe the metadata itself, and metadata security can be used to ensure authentic metadata is sent and received. Mechanisms are also provided to allow refinement and replacement of metadata statements. The generic metadata container can be adapted to dynamically define access control rights to a range of objects by a range of users, including granted and denied access rights.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2002Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christopher G. Kaler, Giovanni M. Della-Libera, Elliot Waingold

Patent number: 7921216Abstract: The present invention provides for an automated, user friendly way of constructing and using a binding object. A developer is presented with and selects binding elements that will ultimately be used to create a runtime communication channel for transporting a message between a client and service endpoint. After receiving the user input, metadata, a channel factory and listener factory are created. The metadata describes binding elements and provides an abstract representation of a protocol stack that implements communication aspects at runtime. The channel factory is configured to use the collection of metadata at runtime to generate the runtime communication channel. Further, the listener factory is configured to accept the runtime communication channel for de-multiplexing the communication aspects in order to process the message at a service endpoint. The present invention also provides for groupings of binding elements and standardized binding objects organized based on industry need.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2005Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Craig A.

Patent number: 7899047Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a virtual network are disclosed. At least one layer of abstraction is created between network service applications and conventional network protocols by inserting an adaptive dispatcher between applications and network transport services on each machine in a network. The message protocol in the virtual network is extensible, allowing application programs to create new headers within any message as needed. The adaptive dispatcher contains handlers that route and dispatch messages within the virtual network based on arbitrary content within each message, including any combination of headers and/or data content. Each device on the virtual network has a virtual address to which messages are directed, allowing devices to move within the network without reconfiguring routing tables.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2007Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Luis F. Cabrera, Erik B. Christensen, Giovanni M. Della-Libera, Christopher G. Kaler, David E. Levin, Bradford H. Lovering, Steven E. Lucco, Stephen J. Millet, John P. Shewchuk, Robert S. Wahbe, David A.
