Abstract: Determining the physical location of wirelessly connected devices within a network can provide a number of security benefits. However, manually determining and configuring the physical location of each device within a system can be burdensome. To ease this burden, devices within a network are equipped with a location detection sensor that is capable of automatically determining a device's location in relation to other devices within the network. A location detection sensor (“sensor”) may include a light source, a light direction sensor, a rangefinder, and a radio or wireless network interface. Two location detection sensors can perform a location detection process to determine their relative locations to each other, such as the distance between them. As more sensors are added to a network, a sensor management system uses the relative locations determined by the sensors to map the sensors to a physical space layout.

Also included is determining whether the vector of values matches a vector of stored values, each stored value potentially corresponding to a respective one of the values in the vector of values; and limiting access to the computer-based resource based at least in part on the vector of values not matching the vector of stored values.

Abstract: To ensure that probe configuration information is accurate, UI templates are validated against probe configuration files. A UI template validation system retrieves a template which indicates configuration information for a particular probe type and retrieves a configuration file for the probe type. The configuration file indicates a set of key-value pairs for various settings that can be implemented by the probe. For example, a configuration file may include a key “probe_timeout” which indicates that the probe has a configurable setting for a timeout period. The system validates the configuration information in the template by ensuring that each key indicated in the template matches a key in the probe configuration file. Additionally, the system also ensures that any default values paired with keys in the configuration file are accurately indicated in the template.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for performing software regression testing are provided. A sitemap comprising a hierarchy of nodes is displayed on a display, each node representing a block of source code for a program. An indication of a user selection of a plurality of nodes in the hierarchy is received. Responsive to receiving the indication, a lowest node of the nodes that is located at a lowest level of the hierarchy is determined and identified as a user selected node. A list of test cases to test the source code represented by the user selected node is displayed. Responsive to receiving an indication of a selection of one of the test cases in the list of test cases displayed, a message having an indication to execute the one of the test cases in the list of test cases displayed is transmitted, to a server device via a network.

Abstract: If an event management system or component within an event management system fails, events generated by systems and applications monitored by the event management system may not be processed or analyzed. As a result, the performance and health of the systems and applications may be unknown. To reduce the impact of a failure, an event management system can include at least two event managers: a primary event manager and one or more standby event managers. The standby event managers are configured to handle event processing tasks upon a failure of the primary event manager. To be prepared for a failure of the primary event manager, the standby event manager receives state data and copies of events. After determining that the primary event manager has failed, the standby event manager can begin processing events.

Abstract: A computing device, such as a network server or user terminal, automatically performs one or more predefined actions on inbound email messages responsive to receiving the inbound email messages. However, rather than base the performance of the actions on information manually provided to an email application by the user, the computing device retrieves event-related information stored in one or more calendar applications communicatively connected to the email application. The computing device then utilizes that information to perform the predefined actions. One example of such an action is automatically generating and sending an autoreply email message to the sender of the inbound email message.

Abstract: A computing device has a camera and tracks the movement of a user's eye as the user looks at a display monitor. Upon detecting that a user is unable to locate the position of a cursor on the display monitor, the computing device displays the cursor at a conspicuous location on the display monitor so that the user is likely to find the cursor. The location at which the cursor is conspicuously displayed is selected by the computing device based on an analysis of the user's eye movements.

Abstract: A topology-based transversal analysis service has been created that correlates topologies of different domains of a distributed application and creates cross-domain “stories” for the different types of transactions provided by the distributed application. A “story” for a transaction type associates an event(s) with a node in an execution path of the transaction type. This provides context to the event(s) with respect to the transaction type (“transaction contextualization”) and their potential business impact. The story is a journal of previously detected events and/or information based on previously detected events. The events have been detected over multiple instances of a transaction type and the journal is contextualized within an aggregate of execution paths of the multiple instances of the transaction type. The story can be considered a computed, ongoing narrative around application and infrastructure performance events, and the narrative grows as more performance-related events are detected.

Abstract: A method includes creating, by one or more computing devices, a first pool of memory resources from a plurality of memory resources in a cluster. The first pool comprises memory resources that (1) have been allocated to a respective guest virtual machine that is not currently being used and (2) that have been marked as unused by the respective guest virtual machine. The method also includes invoking, by the one or more computing devices, a number of operations on the memory resources in the first pool, wherein the number of operations is designed to signal a memory resource manager to reclaim the allocated memory resources that have been marked as unused from the first pool into an unallocated pool of memory resources in the cluster.

Abstract: A method for two factor authentication is described. The method comprises sending an activation code stored on a mobile device to a server for verification. An encrypted secret key generated by the server using the activation code is received. The secret key is decrypted using the activation code stored on the mobile device. The mobile device encrypts the secret key using a predetermined PIN. As a result of a user inputting the predetermined PIN, the secret key is decrypted, the mobile device generates a first token using the secret key and transmits the first token to the server to authenticate the user. After receiving authentication from the server, the information on the mobile device is synced with the server.

Related systems and computer program products are also discussed.
