Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and systems for enhancing useability of mobile devices that securely store data. An input to transfer a computer software application executing on a mobile device from a foreground state of the mobile device to a background state of the mobile device is received. In response, noise data based on application data associated with the application is generated. Both the application data and the noise data are encrypted using the same encryption mechanism, but using different keys. When another input to transfer the application from the background state to the foreground state is received, then the encryption mechanism is executed on the application data and the noise data using a key requested in response to the other input. The application is transferred to the foreground state if the received key matches the key with which the application data was previously encrypted. Other items of data are discarded.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for a case-based adaptation framework allowing adaptation of an existing customizing solution (from a previous case) to a new, unsolved integration, adaptation, or extension problem. Particular embodiments may rely upon an adaptation approach in which the problem solution of a retrieved case is transformed into a new problem solution of the query case by application of adaptation rules. In certain embodiments, a transformational adaptation method may be embedded into an interactive, semi-automatic customization procedure that provides recommendations on possible adaptation steps to the system integrator.

Abstract: An enterprise database is accessed through semantic labels to develop models that enhance the database. A database of business objects is accessed, the business objects including data tables that relate semantic labels to enterprise data. One or more rules that use the semantic labels are applied to select enterprise data corresponding to the semantic labels. The selected enterprise data are used to determine modeling parameters that relate a semantic-label input set to a semantic-label output set, the semantic-label input set and the semantic-label output set each including at least one of the semantic labels. The modeling parameters are used to generate a simulation table that predicts an operational range of at least one business object corresponding to at least one of the semantic labels. The at least one business object is augmented in the database by including the simulation table in the at least one business object.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to graphical representation and/or automatic generation of an iteration rule in mapping design that is to integrate or transform one or more input data sets into another target data set. The input and output data set can be of flat or hierarchical in nature. In an embodiment, a graphical interface allows users to specify an iteration rule (e.g. JOIN operation in a relational database) in a tree-like structure (e.g. a JOIN tree). The interface allows users to visualize and implement complicated and powerful combinations of multiple data sets, including data sets exhibiting hierarchical structure. Drag-and-drop techniques may be employed to reduce the need for manual typing. Also disclosed are procedures automatically generating an iteration rule based on the data mapping information, thereby reducing a need for manual mapping.
