Abstract: Systems and methods to provide network based calculations for planning and decision support tasks are provided. In example embodiments, a trigger to perform a calculation directed to a single process is received. The single process comprises an end-to-end process that combines a plurality of applications. A planning function that models the single process is provided to an engine within memory. Based on the planning function, data from within the memory that receives the planning function is retrieved. The retrieved data is used in the calculation. The planning function and retrieved data are provided to a coupled library of algorithms for performing the calculation. The calculation is then performed within the library in the memory using the planning function and the retrieved data.

The user may be notified that the network publication of the provided personal information is associated with potential compromise of the password security of the at least one password.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for reliable message transfer are described herein. In a sender adapter, at least one message is divided into a plurality of message chunks based on a predetermined chunk size. A chunk key is assigned to each of the message chunk to correspond to each message. Further, a chunk sequence key is generated for each of the message chunks to identify a sequence of the message chunks. The plurality of message chunks including the corresponding chunk key and the chunk sequence key is transmitted to a receiver adapter. At the receiver adapter, the plurality of message chunks including the corresponding chunk key and the chunk sequence key are received. Further, the message chunks are grouped based on the corresponding chunk key and each message is reconstructed from the message chunks based on the corresponding chunk sequence key.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, methods and systems analyze potential logic errors or problems of a business application by receiving a model representing the business application and processing the model using an object-oriented tool. The errors or problems may be corrected in the model and the correction applied to the business application. In one exemplary embodiment, the logic errors or problems may be marked in the model for identification to a user.

Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate keeping or improving the current/prior level of complexity in a software package, despite enhancement package additions. To keep the current number of business functions (e.g., some software configuration or functionality), new packages may have to consolidate older ones. Consolidating business functions may include dissolving those functions into the core set of functions (e.g., those functions that are “always on”) or to merge them with other business functions (e.g., to be switched on or off as a set). Additionally, if a function is simply not used, and will never be used again, the function may be dissolved completely. Regardless, disruption to the customer should be minimized by any consolidation of functions. Systems and methods identify functions that can be automatically consolidated, and facilitate the consolidation of any remaining functions.

Abstract: A hierarchical collection of items including one or more sub collections of items ordered in a hierarchy is received. A statistical measure of frequency of an item in a sub collection of items is determined. Further, statistical measures of weightages of the item are determined defining a number of sub collections in the hierarchical collection of items in which the item appears and a number of sub collections in which the item appears. A statistical measure of variability defining a number of occurrences of the item in the hierarchical collection of items across different sub collections is calculated. Furthermore, a relevance score of the item is determined based on the statistical measure of frequency, the one or more statistical measures of weightages of the item and the statistical measure of variability. Based on the relevance score, the item is presented on a computer generated graphical user interface.

Abstract: The subject matter herein relates to computer software and client-server based applications and, more particularly, to a mobile business client. Some embodiments include one or more device-agnostic application interaction models and one or more device specific transformation services. Some such embodiments provide one or more of systems, methods, and software embodied at least in part in a device specific transformation service to transform channel agnostic application interaction models to and from device or device surrogate specific formats.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing options requests includes: storing, in a first system, static information regarding subscriptions by customers, the static information including at least customer names and product identifiers; storing, in a second system separate from the first system, flexible information regarding the subscriptions including at least activated options; and processing requests from the customers regarding options in the second system, wherein the first system and the static information are not used in processing the requests.

Abstract: Merging of query elements in an enterprise system is described. The enterprise system receives queries, which may each be broken down into query components. The enterprise system identifies query components that are related to identical event information from a data source of the enterprise. The enterprise system sends a single query to the data source for the event information, receives the response, and sends the response to the query sources.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for processing bills electronically. Generally, a bill is created for a customer using billing information and master data from a biller and master data from a customer. Billing information is received from the biller by a first processing module having access to the master data of the biller. The first processing module generates a bill using the billing information and the master data of the biller. A second processing module having access to the master data of the customer provides customer data to the first processing module. The bill is transformed into a format specified in the master data of the customer by the first processing module if the format of the generated bill is not the format specified in the master data of the customer. The generated or transformed bill is transferred to the second processing module by the first processing module.

Abstract: Automated checking of test cases when the underlying test model has been modified includes verifying the structure of the original test cases against the new (modified) test model. Verified test cases are assessed by manipulating the new test model to produce corresponding manipulated test models. A test case is still valid for the new test model if a test case can be generated from its corresponding manipulated test model.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for automatic combination of text mining services, may comprise an instance generation component and an auto-mapping component. From common text sources, the instance generation component generates instances for taxonomy elements attached to a particular text mining service. These instances are then forwarded to the auto-mapping component, which computes a mapping between different taxonomies. This mapping may be saved to avoid repeated instance generation and mapping processes for similar taxonomies. The computed mapping may in turn be input to a result combiner element, together with extraction results from calling the different text mining services. The result combiner returns the merged result sets to the execution, and finally to the user or API.
