Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for synchronizing data in a source system to an application without relying on middleware. An embodiment operates by performing an initial load of records for an object for an application from a source system, thereby retrieving a first set of records. The embodiment first maps the first set of records to the object using a transform template. The embodiment creates the object in the application using the first set of records based on the first mapping. The embodiment performs a delta load of records for the object from the source system, thereby retrieving a second set of records. The embodiment second maps the second set of records to the object using the transform template. The embodiment then updates the object using the second set of records based on the second mapping.

Abstract: The invention presents a solution in which blockchain Transactions are created to implement the functionality of a logic gate. The invention may be implemented on the Bitcoin platform or an alternative blockchain platform. The transaction includes a locking script which comprises instructions selected so as to implement the functionality of a logic gate such as OR, AND, XOR, NOT and so on. In some examples, the instructions may be provided in a hashed form. When the script is executed (because a second transaction is attempting to spend the output associated with the locking script) the inputs will be processed by the conditional instructions to provide an output of TRUE or FALSE. The second transaction is transmitted to the blockchain network for validation and, if determined to be valid, it will be written to the blockchain. Validation of the second transaction can be interpreted as a TRUE output. Thus, the locking script of the first transaction provides the functionality of the desired logic gate.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for creating user experience designs. User requirements for creating user experience designs are gathered. After gathering the user requirements, such user requirements are analyzed in connection with historical user experience designs. A user experience flow is then derived based on these analyzed gathered user requirements. Furthermore, a theme for a user experience design is received. Additionally, a sketch (e.g., paper sketch of a user interface) is received from a user, which is transformed into a wireframe. User interface elements and components are then derived based on the derived user experience flow and the received theme. A user experience design is then generated in the wireframe based on these derived user interface elements and components. In this manner, user experience designs are created that can be used to create products that provide meaningful and relevant experiences to users.

Abstract: The technology described herein improves data security and software functionality in an integrated application deployment. Security is improved by providing granular permission management to application resources at the application program interface (API) level. This granular control allows the primary application to provide access to only the minimal resources the secondary application needs to complete a task. The technology described herein provides a more efficient access control scheme by facilitating group management of permissions. The technology described herein also improves an application update process by eliminating the need for permissions to be reassigned every time a primary application or secondary application is updated. Finally, the technology described herein provides a centralized permission enforcement that is independent of the primary or secondary application.

Abstract: The presentation of data models (a story) on a mobile device having limited memory and processing resources includes instantiating widgets one at a time for interaction with a user. When the user completes their interaction, the instance of that widget is removed from memory (destroyed); widgets are therefore stateless. A context framework that manages the application of filters to widgets that comprise the story. When a filter is applied, widget snapshot images used to display corresponding widgets in a collection view can be updated to reflect state changes of affected corresponding widgets so that users can see the state changes despite the widget being stateless.

Thereafter, the application manager manages inter-application communications between the one application instance and the different application instance, and routes events for both the one application instance and the different application instance in an event router included as part of the application manager. Hence, the application manager may be viewed as providing a virtualization layer on top of the short-lived container.

Abstract: An abstraction engine receives requests identifying a source application and a logical identifier and maps the request attributes to a stored procedure.

Stored procedures may be mapped to various combinations of attributes of requests, which may include attributes such as a user identifier and application version. The stored procedure may return data from a particular database location or perform more complex functions such as filtering functions with using predefined filter criteria and locations or a filtering criteria and/or location derived from the request.

Abstract: A first feature (e.g., chart or table) includes a reference to a dynamic pointer. Independently, the pointer is defined to point to a second feature (e.g., a query). The first feature is automatically updated to reflect a current value of the second feature.

A mapping between features can be generated using the registry and can identify interrelationships to a developer. Further, changes in the registry can be tracked, such that a developer can view changes pertaining to a particular time period and/or feature of interest (e.g., corresponding to an operation problem).

Abstract: A mechanism for declarative service domain federation uses a declarative approach to both the visibility aspect and the management aspect of service domain federation. Instead of manually exporting services, that is, selecting individual services from source domains to be visible in the target domain, using the present system, a federation architect uses a federation console to specify federation intent. The federation intent may include federation rule, query-based service group, and quality-of-service (QoS) policy. Based on the declared federation intent, a planning engine resolves the individual services based on the group query, generates the service visibility configuration, and creates the necessary service proxies and/or mediation objects to satisfy the goal. At runtime, a service monitor collects the performance metrics of federated services and dynamically adjusts the mediation/proxy configurations to maintain the QoS objectives specified by the federation architect.
