Abstract: Computing systems, methods and other implementations for a management application for application routers are described herein. Application routers route messages between application components. The messages employ a protocol which offers both the Publish-and-Subscribe (PubSub) and the Call-and-Register (CallReg) messaging pattern. A management application issues and receives messages which initiate a management operation on an application router and provide feedback on a management operation on an application router.

Abstract: A viewport displays a portion of content that is larger than the viewport. Within this viewport pan grip controls are displayed. The pan grip controls are active zones in the viewport receptive to user input and may have a graphical representation. They are presented at positions relative to the content as displayed in the viewport, and in some embodiments, in a predetermined, regular pattern that is independent of the displayed content. The viewport is panned in response to panning input received on the pan grip controls. The panning input may be a dragging of a pan grip control. The pan grip controls maintain their positions relative to the content as displayed in the viewport. Non-panning input on the displayed content is received outside of the pan grip controls.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other implementations for a configurable pie menu are described herein. A pie menu has sectors of which at least one sector is both associated with a currently assigned menu item and at least one configuration menu. The operation of the pie menu is started by a pie menu activation input. Subsequent user input may then be interpreted as a pie menu selection input or a pie menu configuration invocation input. A pie menu configuration invocation input ascertains a pie sector and invokes the at least one configuration menu associated with the ascertained pie sector. The configuration menus provide a larger set of menu items, one of which is the menu item currently assigned to the pie sector. A menu item selected from the invoked configuration menu is assigned to the pie sector to which the configuration menu is associated.

Abstract: Computing devices, methods and other implementations for access to an electronic object collection via a plurality of views are described herein. Views contain items that reference objects in an electronic object collection. A plurality of views is provided, and at least one of said plurality of views is displayed. The views may be populated through a search function on the object collection. The objects in the object collection may be accessed via the items referencing the objects. Items may be deleted from a view, and items may be copied or moved from a view to another view without deleting an object referenced by a deleted item from the object collection or copying an object referenced by a copied item within the object collection.
