Abstract: As part of a columnar in-memory database, value identifiers are inserted into a backing array in-memory until such time that it is determined that such backing array does not have sufficient capacity. A new backing array is then generated that includes the value identifiers in the old backing array and which has sufficient capacity. The old backing array can be flushed from memory when there are no active operations using such backing array. Such an arrangement allows for readers and non-structural writers to operate concurrently.

A log entry class is assigned to the unclassified log entry using the classification tree to create a classified log entry. One or more security threat patterns are evaluated using the classified log entry.

Abstract: The disclosure describes methods, software, and systems, including a method for providing extension points for core process models. Extension points are provided for a core process model associated with a core process.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and computer implemented methods for protecting portions of electronic documents. An example method includes receiving a request for access to an electronic file having sections, at least one section encrypted using a first key based on a first password. A second key is generated in response to receiving a second password, wherein the second key is generated based on the second password. The second key is compared to the first key. If the second key is identical to the first key, the least one section of the electronic file encrypted using the first key is decrypted using the second key. The electronic file is then presented such that the section(s) previously encrypted using the first cryptographic key is made visible. If the second key is not identical to the first, the electronic file is presented with the encrypted section(s) obscured.
