Abstract: Managing application programming interface (API) execution logging is provided. It is determined whether a log trigger definition corresponding to a log include definition is satisfied. In response to determining that the log trigger definition corresponding to the log include definition is satisfied, an execution log of the API is transferred from memory to a file in a storage device. The execution log of the API and a set of API definitions in the file is analyzed using natural language processing to identify a usability context pattern corresponding to the API. A specific set of API log definitions for the API is recommended based on the identified usability context pattern corresponding to the API.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for determining credibility of a user in recommending an object. The method comprises monitoring activity relating to an object in an online network, and determining a baseline of activity for the object based on the activity monitored. In response to detecting a user interaction by a first user with the object, information relating to the user interaction is recorded. An analysis of the information recorded is performed in view of information relating to one or more other user interactions by one or more other users with the object. Based on the analysis, a credibility score for the first user is determined. The credibility score represents a degree of confidence in reliability of the first user to recommend the object. Presentation of user recommendations for objects is controlled based on credibility scores to decrease impact of astroturfing, crowdturfing and spamming on the presentation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for managing conference calls. Specifically, prospective conference call participants (e.g., moderators and/or invitees) will initially provide user profiles. A participant's profile will include, among other things, a set of contact numbers at which the participant can be reached. Thereafter, a moderator and a set of invitees of a conference call to be held are identified. This is typically done based on synchronization with a calendar application used to send and accept an invitation to the conference call. When the moderator later initiates the conference call, the present invention will access the profile of each invitee that accepted the invitation, and then call the invitees at the respective contact numbers set forth therein. When contact is made with an invitee, the call will be merged into the conference call with the moderator.

Abstract: A method establishes an initial voltage in a ring oscillator and a logic circuit of an integrated circuit device. Following this, the method enables the operating state of the ring oscillator. After enabling the operating state of the ring oscillator, the method steps up to a stressing voltage in the ring oscillator. The initial voltage is approximately one-half the stressing voltage. The stressing voltage creates operating-level stress within the ring oscillator. The method measures the operating-level frequency within the ring oscillator using an oscilloscope (after stepping up to the stressing voltage).

Abstract: A metadata file can be automatically generated based on a database instance and a user defined maximum depth. The relationships between data objects that constitute a business object may be visualized in a tree. The maximum depth limits the number of levels in the tree to traverse. A metadata file describes the structure of a business object and relationships between sets of data objects that constitute the business object. The structure defined in the metadata file can be used to export instances of the business object from the database. The exported business object instances can be imported to another database.

Abstract: After a client device issues a request, a verification stub component receives the request. Then, the verification stub component obtains a current state of the client device from a client state table. The verification stub component evaluates whether the request is valid or not by analyzing a content and context of the request and checking the request against a protocol matrix. If the request is valid, the verification stub component updates the current state of the client device in the current state table, and forwards the request to a server device. Otherwise, the verification stub component creates a report describing the request is invalid, and evaluates whether the server can process the request. If the server cannot process the request, the verification stub component interrupts the request and forwards the report to the client device. Otherwise, the verification stub component provides the request to the server device.

Abstract: A first logical partition in a first processing complex of a server cluster is operated at a first level of a software code.

Processing operations are assumed by the second logical partition operating at the second level of software code. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Input/output (I/O) requests generated by processes are typically stored in I/O queues. Because the queued I/O requests may not be associated with the processes that generated them, changing a process' priority may not affect the priority of the I/O requests generated by the process. Therefore, after the process' priority has been increased, it may be forced to wait for an I/O handler to service its I/O request, which may be stuck behind an I/O request generated by a lower priority process. Functionality can be implemented to associate the processes' priorities with the I/O requests generated by the processes. Also, reordering the queued I/O requests to reflect changes in the processes' priorities can ensure that the I/O requests from high priority processes are serviced before the I/O requests from low priority processes. This can ensure efficient processing and lower wait times for high priority processes.

Managing execution stability of an application includes: receiving, by an application manager, component stability metrics for a particular pluggable processing component; determining, by the application manager, that the particular pluggable processing component is unstable in dependence upon the component stability metrics for the particular pluggable processing component; and notifying, by the application manager, a system administrator that the particular pluggable processing component is unstable.

Abstract: A system for enabling reliable verification of items being purchased using a self checkout system. The self checkout system is equipped with a verification mark dispenser and verification mark detectors that respectively dispenses a mark on an item as the item is being scanned for purchasing and then verifies, by detecting the mark on the item, that the item being bagged (or passed through the tunnel) is the same item that was scanned. When a customer scans an item for purchase, and if purchase transaction is successful, a mark (made of a non-reactive but detectable material or ink) is placed on the exterior packaging of the item. When the item is placed in the tunnel, the detector, sensitive to the activation of the specific marking and located at or in the tunnel, detects the marking on the item. If the activated marking is not detected by the detector, an alert condition is triggered.

The second processor is interrupted when the first DMAC finishes handling the data transfer.

Abstract: A method and system are described for efficiently overriding a value of a net in an array during execution of a test routine. The logic simulator machine is simulating a logic design which includes the array and multiple nets. A current value of the net is set equal to an override value. A normal update to the array is permitted to occur during execution of a single cycle of the test routine. A determination is then made regarding whether the override value is still stored in the array for the particular net. If the override value is not still stored in the array for this net, normal updates to the array are prohibited during a single cycle of the test routine. During this cycle of the test routine, the override value is then again stored in the net as the current value of the net. This override value is thus made available to be read during this cycle of the test routine while writes to the array are disabled.
