Abstract: Example systems and methods of executing processes are described. In one implementation, a method identifies an event and accesses a business rule to identify and execute a process associated with the event. A decision table is accessed to identify multiple conditions associated with the event. The decision table is also accessed to identify multiple actions associated with the event. The multiple conditions and actions were previously defined by at least one user of the system. The event and the multiple conditions are evaluated to determine whether to perform at least one of the multiple actions.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and products, including a method that includes establishing in a computing environment, implemented using at least one processor-based device, a non-immutable object as being a read-only object, the computing environment not allowing performance of operations that cause modification of the read-only non-immutable object. The method also includes preventing by the at least one processor-based device performance of an operation on the read-only non-immutable object that would cause the read-only non-immutable object to be modified.

Abstract: To enable language-level integration of multiple programming languages into a single programming framework, one or more domain specific languages (DSLs) are specified as incremental extensions to a host programming language. An application created in this framework may include program code written in the host language as well as DSL inset code that is written in any of the DSLs. The extensions to the host language are described in DSL specifications, which define how the DSL inset code is processed. At runtime, DSL inset code in the source code is detected and passed to a DSL inset processor for execution according to an appropriate DSL specification, whereas source code in the host language is executed by a host language processor.

At least a portion of the set of data items for the task are retrieved based on an analysis that optimally balances confidentiality and information utility using the set of confidentiality sub-policies and the information utility sub-policy.

Abstract: A method and a set of computer instructions for filling a customer sales order for a product are described. The method determines the availability of the product. The method determines the components of a product if the product is unavailable. The method determines the availability of the components from one or more suppliers.

Abstract: A method and system for reorganizing a distributed computing landscape for dynamic load balancing is presented. A method includes the steps of collecting information about resource usage by a plurality of hosts in a distributed computing system, and generating a target distribution of the resource usage for the distributed computing system. The method further includes the step of generating an estimate of an improvement of the resource usage according to a reorganization plan.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and computer program product for adapting enterprise services to specific requirements of an enterprise. A graphical representation of a plurality of service elements is generated on a computer. Each service element includes an input and an output. A link is generated between an output of a first service element of the plurality of service elements and an input of a second service element of the plurality of service elements. The first and second service elements are concatenated via the link to form an adapted service element.

Abstract: Embodiments include a system for processing logical clock values according to a secure maximum operation. The system may include a communication unit and a processing unit. The communication unit may be configured to receive an encrypted first value of a logical clock, send an encrypted blinded difference, receive an encrypted blinded maximum value, and receive a maximum value. The processing unit may be configured to access an encrypted second value of the logical clock, generate the encrypted blinded difference between the first value and the second value, provide an encrypted blinded first value and an encrypted blinded second value in an oblivious transfer protocol, and generate an encrypted maximum value from the encrypted blinded maximum value.

Abstract: Example systems and methods of managing product genealogy data across distributed systems are described. In one implementation, a method identifies a material associated with a product that is part of a product batch. Usage information associated with the material is accessed, and a handling unit associated with the product batch is identified. Delivery information associated with the product batch is also accessed. A genealogy is generated for the product batch based on the material, the usage information, the handling unit, and the delivery information.

Abstract: According to a general aspect, a computer-implemented method for a first user to verify an association with a second user through a secret handshake protocol includes maintaining information about a reusable identification handle for the first user, where the information about the reusable identification handle is provided by a trusted third party, maintaining information about a reusable credential for the first user, where the information about the reusable credential is provided by a trusted third party, and maintaining information about a matching reference for verifying an association with another user, where the information about the matching reference is provided by a trusted third party.
