Abstract: A method for determining a performance trend of a software application based on performance indicators of the software application. The method receives corresponding access requests from the client computing machines from a user interface framework of the software application that includes at least one command for submitting corresponding operation requests, and estimates corresponding expected response times of the software application for serving the operation requests in response to the access requests. The expected response time of each of the operation requests is estimated according to a comparison of the operative conditions that correspond to the operation request with the performance trend. The method transmits corresponding performance artifacts that are based on the expected response times associated with the user interface framework, to the client computing machines that cause the client computing machines to provide corresponding warnings.

Abstract: A method and system. One or more policies is stored. Each policy includes activities for execution on corresponding endpoints. At least one of the activities of the policies is conditioned by a condition based on one or more aggregated parameters. Each aggregated parameter depends on one or more local parameters of a corresponding group of endpoints. The local parameters are collected from the corresponding endpoints. The local parameters are aggregated into the aggregated parameters. Each aggregated parameter is distributed at least to the corresponding endpoints of each policy including any activity conditioned on the aggregated parameter. At least the corresponding policies are sent to the endpoints to cause each endpoint to apply each corresponding policy by collecting any aggregated parameters of the policy on the endpoint and executing the activities of the policy according to the corresponding aggregated parameters.

Abstract: A method is provided for managing memory allocation in a database. The method determines a preferred statement among defined statements with defined sizes of objects. The defined statements include (i) a stored statement defined to allocate the objects and stored in the database wherein each of the objects have a stored size, and (ii) alternative stored statements that provide an alternative of the stored statement defined to allocate the objects with alternative sizes lower than stored sizes. The preferred statement has defined sizes compliant to actual sizes according to preference criterion. The method invokes the preferred statement for execution in place of the stored statement when different. The method stores a new statement, having new sizes compliant to actual sizes according to alternate criterion, responsive to unfulfilling a condition based on comparing defined sizes of the preferred statement with actual sizes.

Abstract: A method for managing assets including receiving a task across a network to be performed by a set of assets, identifying a subset of assets owned by an owner, transmitting a personalized direct communication across the network to the owner, wherein the personalized direct communication requests approval for use of the subset of assets to execute the task, and responsive to receiving an approval communication across the network from the owner indicating respective approved assets from the subset of assets producing a set of approved assets, automatically transmitting a set of communications across the network to the set of approved assets for execution of the task.

Abstract: A method is provided for managing memory allocation in a database. The method determines a preferred statement among defined statements with defined sizes of objects. The defined statements include (i) a stored statement defined to allocate the objects and stored in the database wherein each of the objects have a stored size, and (ii) alternative stored statements that provide an alternative implementation of the stored statement defined to allocate the objects with alternative sizes lower than stored sizes. The preferred statement has defined sizes compliant to actual sizes according to preference criterion based on comparing defined and actual sizes. The method invokes the preferred statement for execution in place of the stored statement when different. The method stores a new statement, having new sizes compliant to actual sizes according to alternate criterion, responsive to unfullfilling a condition based on comparing defined sizes of the preferred statement with actual sizes.
