Based on the metadata, which would be exposed or otherwise available for involved applications, there is a protocol defining the communication flows between applications.

Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for modeling and deploying decision services. One computer-implemented method includes establishing a push-channel session uniquely associated with a client, wherein the push channel session communicates with the client using a single push channel. The computer-implemented method further includes registering the established push-channel session with a messaging channel runtime creating a client-specific messaging channel and registering a backend application with the push-channel-session-associated single push channel using a push channel registration session. The method further includes, responsive to an application message received from an application session associated with the backend application using a client-specific application channel, dispatching the received application message to the push-channel session from the messaging channel runtime using the client-specific messaging channel.

Abstract: An improved key encryption system is provided for encrypting sensitive data on a shared data store. Various embodiments contemplate a system where a plurality of data clients are connected to one or more shared data stores. A secure data storage facility is provided on one or more of the shared data stores by using an encryption scheme. Encryption keys for decrypting the sensitive data are stored on the same data store as sensitive data which may be decrypted using the encryption keys in question. To provide another layer of protection, the data encryption keys are themselves encrypted using a key encryption key (KEK), which is generated by, and stored in a local persistent data store associated with the data clients.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods of optimizing a database are described herein. Database tables are rated based on at least one of table size and table growth rate. One or more of the database tables are then selected based on the rating of the database tables. Archiving objects for the one or more selected tables are obtained. An archiving object includes one or more archiving programs and defines data related to a business object. The archiving objects are ranked based on dependencies between them. Based on the ranking of the archiving objects, an archiving schedule including an archiving order for the archiving objects is generated. The archiving schedule is then displayed.

Abstract: A definition of a new user interface feature of a business software architecture supporting a business configuration used by an organization can be received and a rule in a scenario model of a business scenario can be accordingly modified to associate the new user interface feature with business process feature(s) of the business scenario. A selection of a business process feature received as a user interaction with first user interface elements arranged in a linear order in a navigation pane of a user interface to represent at least some of the plurality of business process features of the business process can result in the concurrent display via the user interface of a work frame comprising the new user interface feature.

Abstract: A ranking in cascading learning system is described. The cascading learning system has a request analyzer, a request dispatcher and classifier, a search module, a terminology manager, and a cluster manager. The request analyzer receives a request for search terms from a client application and determines term context in the request to normalize request data from the term context. The normalized request data are classified and dispatched to a corresponding domain-specific module with a request dispatcher ranking calibrator. Each domain-specific module of a search module generates a prediction with a trained probability of an expected output using a corresponding domain-specific ranking calibrator. The terminology manager receives normalized request data from the request dispatcher and classifier, and manages terminology stored in a contextual network. The cluster manager comprises a central ranking calibrator, a training and sot container, and a module generator configured to generate a pluggable module.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for authentication involves defining a level of trust required for access to a resource independently of any particular authentication mechanism or instance, determining levels of trust associated with a plurality of authentication instances, and selecting and combining two or more of the authentication instances to meet or exceed the required level of trust.

Abstract: A system includes reception of first text including a first identifier, storage of the first text in a memory area associated with the first identifier, reception of second text including the first identifier, storage of the second text in the memory area associated with the first identifier, and determination that a size threshold associated with text stored in the memory area has been reached, the text stored in the memory area comprising at least the first text and the second text. In response to the determination, a semantic representation of the text stored in the memory area is generated and the semantic representation is stored in association with the first identifier.

Abstract: A method for matching an object with a set of qualifications to an object with a set of requirements includes examining the object with the set of qualifications to produce a list of qualifications without a hierarchy, removing duplicate qualifications, and matching list of qualifications without a hierarchy with removed duplicates to the set of qualifications.

Abstract: A data processing system includes a server computer and at least one client device. The server computer includes means for providing a central web service, the central web service having a central web service address. An interface means receives a web service request addressed to the central web service address from the client device and forwards the web service request to one of a plurality of alternative web services selected by the central web service. The client device includes means for storing the central web service address and means for generating the web service request. An interface means at the client sends the web service request to the central web service address, and receives a web service response from the one of the plurality of alternative web services selected by the central web service.

Abstract: A system and method are described herein that provide for dynamically controlling a chart visualized in a user interface by turning business objects visualized in the chart into clickable action buttons to trigger corresponding business actions. Business objects are retrieved from a backend server and displayed as visual representations in a chart rendered in a calendar application user interface. A user clicking or tapping a visual representation in the chart triggers a corresponding predefined action that has been customized in the connected system or backend server and is dynamically assigned to the chart control based on the business context of the calendar application.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating previews of list data in space constrained user interfaces are disclosed. In the available display area of a particular display device or user interface, a segment of a list of items are displayed. Values in the on-screen and off-screen portions of the list are analyzed and processed to generate previews of the list. One preview includes generating a box plot of the distribution of values in the list. An adaptively sized slider can then be generated relative to the box plot to indicate which part of the distribution is displayed in the list items that fit in the available display area. Another preview includes generating a composite row in the available display area that summarizes the data in one or more of the off-screen portions of the list. Such previews can include the sum or average of the values in the off-screen list items.
