Abstract: A planogram specifying items of a item type associated with a first location may be determined, and item read events for the items of the item type may be received from a first receiver associated with the first location and from a second receiver associated with a second location. A first counting of the item read events associated with the first receiver may be determined, and a second counting of the item read events associated with the second receiver may be determined. A clustering algorithm may be applied to the first counting and the second counting to determine a first cluster corresponding to a first subset of the items and a second cluster corresponding to a second subset of the items. Then, for each cluster, it may be determined whether the item read events contained therein indicate a presence of the corresponding subset of the items at the second location and in non-compliance with the planogram.

Abstract: The description refers to a method, computer program product, and computer system for displaying a chart for production planning. The chart includes a timeline, a material area associated with each of one or more materials and a resource area associated with each of one or more resources. The chart also includes a material sufficiency indicator provided within one or more of the material areas to indicate whether or not a sufficient amount of the associated material is available at one or more identified times to meet a demand of the one or more scheduled operations.

Abstract: A system and method for encryption in a cloud computing platform with customer controlled keys is disclosed. A cloud-based encryption key is uploaded from a customer computing platform to a key store of the cloud computing platform, based on a customer-based encryption key. The cloud-based encryption key and customer-based encryption key is able to encrypt or decrypt customer data used by an application server running on the cloud computing platform. Next, the cloud-based encryption key is unlocked from the key store, and then stored in a secure store of a main memory associated with the customer computing platform. Then, according to encryption or decryption mechanism, the unlocked cloud-based encryption key is accessed to encrypt or decrypt customer data stored on a database of the main memory and used by the application server.

Abstract: A messaging service is described that incorporates messages into cached link lists. The messages are not yet acknowledged as having been received by one or more consumers to whom the messages were sent. A separate link list exists for each of a plurality of different message priority levels. Messages within a same link list are ordered in their link list in the same order in which they where received by the messaging service. At least one of the link lists contains an element that represents one or more messages that are persisted but are not cached in any of the cached link lists.

Abstract: A quick buffer validity check can optionally be performed when a potential invalidity of the content of a buffer is identified. The identifying of the potential invalidity condition can include determining that a most recent lifecycle management event timestamp is more recent than a most recent buffer validity check timestamp for the buffer. To determine whether the buffer contents need to be refreshed, a list of the last changed timestamps for the constituent elements of the buffer can be compared to a new list. If the new list and the old list are not identical, the buffer can be rebuilt.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for providing modular applications. A first module of multiple modules is received from a server system. Each module includes instructions executable by data processing apparatus to perform operations. Operations are performed by executing the first module. A request to the server system for a second module is transmitted while performing the operations. At least a portion of the second module is received from the server system while performing the operations.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, computer-readable media, and systems for forming networks of users associated with a central entity. When a central entity receives multiple requests from multiple users to register for an event associated with the entity, the entity forms a user network that did not exist until then. The entity receives data describing the users using which the entity generates user interfaces showing all users in the network, and presents the user interfaces on users' computer systems. When a subset of the users check-in with the entity, the entity displays information about one of the users in the subset to another, and allows the users to communicate with each other. When the event associated with the entity ends, the entity terminates the network. In this manner, the central entity forms temporary user networks that expire when an event scheduled at the central entity occurs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for graphical representation of corporate networks are provided. The graphical representation may be used to present corporate information, e.g., corporate reporting structure, employee keywords, etc. The graphical representation may include nodes whose sizes are based on the corporate data, such as the number of direct reports, or frequencies of keywords appearances. The graphical representation may also include multi-layer corporation information. Further, the graphical representation may present a subset of corporate data in response to user inputs.

Further, presenting the configuration tool can include presenting one or more back-end systems associated with the application for selection as a destination for the user productivity feature.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to synchronizing dictionaries of acceleration nodes in a computer network. For example, dictionaries of a plurality of acceleration nodes of a client-server network can be synchronized to each include one or more identical data items and data identifier pairs. Synchronization can include transmitting a particular data item, or a combination of a data item and an associated data identifier, to another acceleration node which includes it in its dictionary. A particular acceleration node can, instead of transmitting a data item, transmit an associated data identifier to another acceleration node. As all (or a subset) of the acceleration nodes can have an identical dictionary when employing the methods described herein, the particular acceleration node can use the same dictionary to communicate with all (or the subset of) other acceleration nodes of the computer network.
