Abstract: A computer-implemented method of optimizing software components. The method may include receiving a software component including a layered hierarchy of structure packages, main packages, and common packages each including objects, grouping common packages into groups according to pre-determined criteria, encapsulating each group with an encapsulation package, wherein the encapsulation package is one of a structure package and a main package, allowing objects in the encapsulation package to communicate directly by bypassing common packages in the encapsulation package, and eliminating package interfaces of the common packages in the encapsulation package that are solely used for communicating with other common packages in the encapsulation package.

Abstract: Location information of each participant may be linked to a reminder system or application on the participant's mobile computing device that reminds the participant of upcoming events, tasks, meetings, and so on. Instead of activating a reminder at a fixed reminder time, location information from location based services may be used to identify a current location of the mobile computing device. The identified current location may then be compared to a meeting, event, or other location and an estimated time to travel between the current location and the meeting location may be calculated. The estimated travel time may be used to identify a time to activate a reminder for the scheduled event so that the participant has sufficient time to travel and arrive on time and within a predetermined time window to the scheduled event.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic user profile presentation in a large-scale network are provided. Individuals may request to retrieve user profiles of other users in the network. Commonalities between the requesting individual and the owner of the user profile are identified. The commonalities may include non-public information associated with the owner of the user profile. Connection strength associated with each commonality is determined and the commonalities are prioritized according to the connection strength. The commonalities between the requesting individual and the owner of the user profile are presented to the requesting individual based on the prioritization.

Abstract: In an embodiment, the runtime framework is responsible for executing multidimensional analytical metadata in a runtime environment that is determined by the runtime framework. To generate such a runtime framework, the received multidimensional analytical metadata is analyzed to determine a type of an associated calculation pattern. Based upon the type, subsets of the multidimensional analytical metadata and corresponding runtime decision rules are determined. To execute the subsets, executable conditions corresponding to the multidimensional analytical metadata are identified. Based upon the executable conditions, the calculation pattern associated with the multidimensional analytical metadata is executed by executing the associated subsets, and the runtime framework is generated.

Abstract: Touch-sensitive features of devices may be used to demarcate a displayed area on the device to identify a set of data points contained in the demarcated area. After identifying the data points in the demarcated area, the user may be presented with an interface on the display listing different actions that may be performed on at least one of the identified data points. After the user selects the actions to be performed, the computing device may perform the selected actions on one or more of the identified data points in demarcated area.

Abstract: A single meta-model can include metadata defining a business scenario landscape that includes business scenarios accessible to members of an organization that are supported by a business software architecture. The metadata can include business process definitions and relationships between business processes. A user interface can present first, second, and/or third visualization layers based on the metadata. The first visualization layer can include first user interface elements forming a business scenario landscape map showing business scenarios and at least one relationship between the business scenarios. The second visualization layer can include second user interface elements displayed in a navigation pane concurrently with a work pane.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, and software providing a message-oriented middleware infrastructure to integrate messaging between entities, such as software systems, processes therein, and other elements that may be connected to a network. Such embodiments may include pushing messages directly to entities upon receipt of a message or storing a message in an inbox for later retrieval. Additionally, various embodiments handle both message format transformations and message target determinations thereby alleviating considerable efforts to customize each constituent, integrated entity through one or both of custom coding and configuration.
