Abstract: In an approach to discovering software in a container, one or more computer processors identify one or more sets of filesystem structure information for an active container. The one or more computer processors create a virtual filesystem based on the one or more identified sets of filesystem structure information. The one or more computer processors discover one or more sets of software by comparing a set of catalog entries to the created virtual filesystem. The one or more computer processors report the one or more sets of discovered software.

Abstract: A digital image is stored on a server. One or more areas of interest are determined within the digital image. One or more sets of features for each of the one or more areas of interest within the digital image are extracted. The digital image is parsed into a set of image layers, wherein a subset of image layers is associated with a first set of features of the one or more sets of features. A request to download the image from the server is received from a client. The subset of image layers is sent to the client. In response to sending the subset, the remainder of the set of images is sent.

Abstract: An image is requested from a server. A set of object identifications associated with the image is received from the server. At least a portion of the set of object identifications is determined to be associated with a set of local images. A preview is generated using the set of local images, and the preview is displayed to a user.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, network computing system, and method for automated system integration. A first system gathers a request list of requested computational resources to transmit to the second system, receives a list of accessible computational resources available through the second system, and determines matching computational resources in the request list that match computational resources in the list of accessible computational resources. The first system sends information on the matching computational resources to the second system. The second system gathers the matching computational resources received from the first system to make accessible to the first system at a resource location accessible over a network and sends access information for the matching computational resources gathered by the second system.

Abstract: A technique to manage software licensing in an environment that provides virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). A license manager is configured to receive first information identifying software applications associated with a virtual machine template used in the infrastructure, as well as second information that a user has logged into the VDI from a client device, thereby creating a VDI session. For a particular time period of interest, the license manager calculates software application usage information from the first and second information. Preferably, the software application usage information represents an application count that is based on the user and the client device “pair” when the user has the VDI session during at least some portion of the time period. The software application usage information is provided to one or more other computing systems to take a given action, such as tracking, managing, auditing, enforcing and accounting for software usage in the VDI environment.
