Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for creating an instance of an object from within a context of a user interface of a calendar application. The calendar application can automatically detect existing calendars that are associated with a user of a particular organization, and dynamically determine different object types that are associated with calendar items displayed in each of the existing calendars. The different object types can include standard objects and custom objects. The calendar application can then provide a new object creation user interface (UI) element that (when selected) includes a list of the different object types that are displayed in response to selecting the new object creation UI element. When a user selects one of the different object types from the list, the calendar application can create, from within the context of the main user interface of the calendar application, an instance of the object in the cloud computing platform.

Abstract: A method for identifying positive online usage trends based on image analysis has been developed. First, a target group is identified as a subject of analysis and online image postings by that group are captured and analyzed for subject matter and favorable usage using convolution neural networking. Data associated with the subject matter and favorable usage are stored as a dataset related to the target group in a database. Parameters are selected that indicate a positive usage trend and a predictive model analyzes the stored data sets based on those parameters.

Abstract: A method and system for arranging, on a display of a device, graphic elements within a user interface (UI) requiring a touch for selection. Initially, receiving, from sense elements at edges of the display of the device, signals indicative of whether the device is in a right hand or in a left hand of the user when the user is making single handed selections by touch. Then, determining by the signals whether the device is in the right hand or left hand of the user. Next, arranging the graphic elements of the UI, to allow for single handed selections with a greater ease by the user in the right hand or left hand by arranging in the first arrangement, the graphic elements for accessing by fingers of the right hand of the user and in the second arrangement, the graphic elements for accessing by fingers of the left hand.

Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing a security model for component-based web applications. Documents for a web-based application are received, with the application containing custom components and Application Programming Interface (API) components. A Document Object Model (DOM) is processed corresponding to the web-based application, with the custom and API components modeled in hierarchical form. For each custom component, a key is assigned in accordance with the rules of capability security, accessible custom components are identified for which the custom component can provide the assigned key, a virtual DOM is generated for the custom component with the component and identified accessible custom components being modeled in hierarchical form, and the custom component is prohibited access to all inaccessible custom components.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for responding to customer posts on a plurality of social media channels from a customer service portal of a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system of an organization. A retrieval system can retrieve, based on one or more rules specified by a rules engine, data from a first customer post on a first social media channel. The first customer post is identified using one or more rules that finds customer posts that warrant a customer service response from the organization. Based on the data from the first customer post, a parser of the CRM system creates a first case that can be displayed at the customer service portal, which automatically pre-populates a first response to the first customer post in compliance with protocols associated with the first social media channel that allow the first response to be communicated via the first social media channel.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating dynamic integration of disparate database architectures for efficient management of resources in an on-demand services environment in a multi-tenant environment according to one embodiment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes receiving, at a first database platform, a job request in a first programming package, transforming the job request from the first programming package to a second programming package, transmitting the job request in the second programming package to a second database platform for processing. The job request may be processed at the second database platform that is independent of the first database platform. The method may further include receiving an output relating to the processing of the job request.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a stream processing system ingests data from one or more data sources and converts the data into an unbounded stream for an event stream processor. The stream processing system may include a first coordinating spout instance that is deployed at a first time, the first coordinating spout instance to instantiate one or more second spout instances and deploy said one more second spout instances at a second time that is later than the first time; the one or more second spout instances to: connect to the one or more data sources, respectively, and ingest a respective portion of the data from its respective one of the one or more data sources; and output messages based on the ingested portions of the data; wherein the unbounded stream for the event stream processor is based on the messages. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing content using a request-response protocol is provided. The method comprises storing a data object associated with a key, receiving a first response message from a server containing an invalidate parameter wherein the invalidate parameter includes a pattern that matches the key, and invalidating the stored data object associated with the key in response to the invalidate parameter. A computing system comprising one or more processors and non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying programming instructions configurable to cause the one or more processors to implement a proxy cache is also provided. The proxy cache is configured to store a data object associated with a key, receive a first response message from a server containing an invalidate parameter wherein the invalidate parameter includes a pattern that matches the key, and invalidate the stored data object associated with the key in response to the invalidate parameter.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for asynchronous (async) querying are described. In embodiments, a system may convert a user-issued query into a distributed execution instruction set (DEIS), and issue the DEIS to data stores that may have various database structures. The system may obtain database objects from the data stores, and store a result set indicating the obtained database objects in a location specified by the user-issued query. The system may also provide mechanisms to allow users to view progress of their async query jobs and/or cancel ongoing async query jobs. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Client fingerprints can be used to detect and defend against malware and hacking into information systems more effectively than using IP addresses. A unique client fingerprint can be based on data found in the client's SSL client hello packet. SSL version, cipher suites, and other fields of the packet can be utilized, preferably utilizing individual field values in the order in which they appear in the packet. The ordered values are converted to decimal values, separated by delimiters, and concatenated to form an identifier string. The identifier string may be mapped, preferably by a hash function, to form the client fingerprint. The client fingerprint may be logged, and whitelists and blacklists may be formed using client fingerprints so formed.
