Abstract: Described herein is a technology for account for messages or data that are not read by a receiver unit in a device. A sender unit collects data from a data source, which is passed on stored in an inter-processor communication (IPC) module. The receiver unit receives the data from the IPC module, while the sender unit predicts an expected time that that receiver unit will read the data and whether the receiver unit will actually read the data.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products are described herein that enable an intelligent agent to automatically discover an application programming interface (API) exposed by a service, to obtain descriptive metadata associated with the API, and to generate, based on the metadata, natural language processing information and/or function call building information associated with at least one functionality of the service. In addition, the intelligent agent is enabled to use the natural language processing information to determine that a user intends to interact with the service based on at least one user input of the user and to use the function call building information to build a function call for interacting with the service based on the at least one user input of the user, and to place the function call to the service on behalf of the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing communication between applications (e.g., apps) in a host computing environment. Apps are published to a globally-accessible site. Upon download of an app to a host computing environment, apps can register themselves with a communication gateway as being discoverable and permissive to inter-app communications. Message queues are created to facilitate asynchronous communications between apps. After registration, any of the apps can send and receive messages using the communication gateway. The messages can be directed to any other app that is registered with the communication gateway. Using the message queues, the communication gateway facilitates asynchronous app interactions such that any app can communicate with any other discoverable and permissive app. Aspects of operation, discoverability and other attributes can be codified in an application manifest that is processed by the communication gateway.

Abstract: A package generated by a compiler of a computing environment is to be used in inter-process communication between one module and another module running in a single address space of the computing environment. The one module is one class of module and the other module is another class of module, in which the one class of module is different from the other class of module. The one module calls the other module using the inter-process communication, which employs the package generated by the compiler. The called module performs one or more operations, and the one module is placed in a wait state.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for Remote Application Programming Interface (RAPI) communications between server and client devices. In an embodiment, server and client devices comprise memories and hardware processors coupled to the memories. The hardware processors execute instructions to perform operations that instantiate access point instances on both server side and client side. The instructions are generated from compiling API interface classes with remote communication classes, wherein the compiling includes a procedure of creating new classes through double inheritance. By receiving an API connection message from a client device, the server device clones a default relayer access point instance and assigns the cloned relayer access point instance to process API requests received thereafter from the client device.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for synchronization of messages based on queues are presented. One or more electronic messages are received according a message order. A message queue that corresponds to the first user is generated. The one or more messages in the message queue are stored based on the received message order. A position of a next message in the generated message queue to be transmitted is determined. The message from the determined position in the message queue is transmitted to the client device operated by the first user.

Abstract: A method disclosed herein relates to a proxy application that connects to an input/output controller (IOCTL) interface driver. The IOCTL interface driver transfers IOCTL commands to a baseboard management controller (BMC). The proxy application receives, through the IOCTL interface driver, an application protocol request over an IOCTL command from the BMC. The application protocol request includes a computing devices configuration, a computing devices configuration option, and user interface data. The proxy application also receives an update to the computing devices current configuration based on the computing devices configuration option. The proxy application generates a new application protocol request over the IOCTL command based on the update to the computing devices current configuration. The proxy application transmits, through the IOCTL interface driver, the new application protocol request over the IOCTL command to the BMC.
