Abstract: Systems for enabling an application to track provenance include an instrumented application binary on a client device. Overwritten library call instructions provide library calls to one or more instrumented libraries that invoke a provenance layer to track data operations. The provenance layer is configured to catch and log data events performed by the instrumented application.

Abstract: A method for tracking provenance information includes catching and logging data events performed by an instrumented application at a provenance layer. Overwritten library call instructions provide library calls to one or more instrumented libraries that invoke the provenance layer to track data operations. A provenance log is created that includes the logged data events.

Abstract: Systems for enabling an application to track provenance include an application analysis module configured to analyze an application binary to discover injection points for provenance tracking code; and an instruction alteration module configured to overwrite instructions in the application binary at the injection points to create an instrumented application. The overwritten instructions link the application binary to one or more instrumented libraries that invoke a provenance layer to track data operations.

Abstract: A method includes analyzing, on a first computing device, data from second computing device(s) of user interaction with a user interface of an application previously executed on the second computing device(s). The data corresponds to events caused by the user interaction with the user interface of the application. The first computing device generates representation(s) of the analyzed data and outputs the representation(s) of the user interaction. Another method includes capturing and logging, by a computing device, events caused by user interaction with a user interface of an application when the application is executed on the computing device. In response to a trigger, data comprising the captured and logged events is sent toward another computing device. Another method includes instrumenting a measurement library into an application to create an instrumented version of the application, and sending the instrumented application to computing device(s).

Abstract: A group of remote devices executing an omnichannel application are coordinated from a network node. An omnichannel mediator coordinates formation of at least two of said remote devices into an omnichannel cloudlet. A component manager controls which of a plurality of components of said omnichannel application should optimally be placed on which individual devices of said omnichannel cloudlet and how data should flow to individual devices of said omnichannel cloudlet. A replication optimizer optimally coordinates data replication for the group of remote device.

Abstract: Managing user applications is provided. A visual model of user interface display screens of a user application is generated by mapping components displayed within the user interface display screens to screen position coordinates and by mapping the screen position coordinates corresponding to the components to original source code of the user application. A runtime policy for each component in a selected set of components within the user interface display screens of the user application is generated based on user interaction with the generated visual model of the user interface display screens. The generated runtime policy for each component in the selected set of components is sent to a client device via a network. Activity of each component in the selected set of components in the client device is tracked using data that is tracked and logged on the client device based the generated runtime policy for each selected component.

Abstract: A method modifies an application program to create an augmented application program by including at least one call and a software library in the application program. The at least one call is to a method that forms part of the library. The method further includes, upon receiving a request from an augmented application program resident on the device, registering and authenticating the augmented application program and sending a policy file to the device that is configured to control use of only the augmented application program. Another method receives at a device an application program augmented to include the at least one call and software library. The method further includes launching the application program and sending a registration and authentication request to a server of an enterprise, and receiving from the server a policy file configured for controlling use by the device of only the registered and authenticated augmented application program.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a library instrumented into an application executable by a computing device, a message indicating modification(s) that should be performed to user interface component(s) able to be rendered by the application on a display of the computing device. The user interface component(s) are modified to create modified user interface component(s). The modified user interface component(s) are caused to be rendered on the display.

A developer is allowed to modify information concerning the user interface component(s). Message(s) are formed to allow modification(s) and corresponding user interface component(s) to be determined and the message(s) are sent to computing device(s) having the application.
