Abstract: Identification of the root cause of a change in the system, as well as any side-effects (“ancillary changes”) caused by the change via an object attribute. A change resulting from a request in a system, whether originating from a user, service, or workflow, has an associated request object that captures the details of the change. An ancillary change resulting from the prior change is correlated to the prior change through a parent attribute on the request object that identifies the prior change as the immediate parent. Thus, all downstream ancillary changes resulting from a request can be correlated back to the root request (change) via the parent attributes of the ancillary changes.

Abstract: Techniques for making internal data from a source application available through an application programming interface (“API”). Embodiments may analyze a source application to determine a storage location and a first storage format of internal data, wherein the source application does not provide an API through which the internal data is accessible. Embodiments may then extract the internal data from the storage location, and convert the extracted data from the first storage format to a common storage format. Embodiments may then provide an API to make the converted data available.

Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for using audio output device driver logic to maintain one or more states of an audio accelerator in a memory store, detect a suspend event, and deactivate the audio accelerator in response to the suspend event. In addition, firmware logic of the audio accelerator may be used to detect a resume event with respect to the audio output accelerator, and retrieve one or more states of the audio accelerator directly from the memory store in response to the resume. Thus, the retrieval of the one or more states can bypass the driver logic.

Abstract: According to an example, when there is a hotkey message of a hotkey, an application instance that registers the hotkey receives the hotkey message, distributes the hotkey message to an application instance that does not register the hotkey, determines whether there is an application instance that does not register the hotkey and is to process the hotkey message; when there is the application instance that does not register the hotkey and is to process the hotkey message, receives feedback information about processing the hotkey message returned from the application instance that does not register the hotkey; and when there is not the application instance that does not register the hotkey and is to process the hotkey message, processes the hotkey message.

Abstract: A software transactional memory system is provided that creates an array of transactional locks for each array object that is accessed by transactions. The system divides the array object into non-overlapping portions and associates each portion with a different transactional lock. The system acquires transactional locks for transactions that access corresponding portions of the array object. By doing so, different portions of the array object can be accessed by different transactions concurrently. The system may use a shared shadow or undo copy for accesses to the array object.

Abstract: An Inter-Process Communication (IPC) message transport mechanism is provided with an Application Programming Interface (API). Applications use the API to create and register clients, and device drivers for devices use the API to create and register services. The applications and device drivers use their own independent API to pass commands and responses to one another using the clients and services. An IPC message transport manager manages and routes the commands as messages without any restrictions on the format or content of the messages. The messages routed in an OS independent fashion.

Abstract: Approaches for extracting data from data sources using a generic web service adaptor that implements a web services processing framework. Metadata stored in the database is read to identify specified named entities from a plurality of web service providers. Application protocol interface (API) semantics and configurations are retrieved from the metadata. Metadata objects for the specified named entities are fetched. Web services operation API signatures of the metadata objects are validated by comparing with predefined web services operation API signatures stored in the metadata. Web services operations for the specified named entities of the web service providers comprising the data sources are performed to obtain returned result objects. The returned result objects are serialized to XML using the same framework as used by the source web service. An adaptor may be configured to support the plurality of web service providers based on configurations.

Abstract: Users of online services may avoid having to gain knowledge of the intricacies of specific Application Programming Interface (API) syntaxes and elements by using natural language requests which are processed to extract components of the request. The components are then used to find one or more matches of known APIs, and then at least one structured API call is constructed by mapping the request's components to the structured API call's elements. The system can then invoke the online service on behalf of the client, and return the results to the client, or it can return the constructed structured API call to the client. The known API details can be initialized and updated by ingesting the description documents for the structured APIs, and then using natural language processing to extract components from the descriptions, which can then be utilized in the matching process to further enhance the results of the tool.

Abstract: Business object resources are accessed by a consumer application via web protocol. A business event occurring in a provider business application, which the consumer application is authorized to subscribe to, is identified. Each identified business event is assigned to a corresponding business object resource. Access to the business object resource is implemented as a RESTful application programming interface call. A uniform resource identifier is generated for accessing the business object resource affected by an occurring defined business event. At least one event message is created for the occurring defined business event, such that the event message includes the uniform resource identifier. The event message is published to all subscribed consumer applications that are identified as being interested in contextual information of the occurred business event, thereby enabling the calling of the RESTful application programming interface and to access the affected business object resource.

Abstract: Mobile devices, systems and methods are described with a plurality of virtual machines, wherein each virtual machine executes a separate virtual interface, or guest operating system. Each guest operating system corresponds to a different virtual device having its own contact list, applications, and so on. A virtual “device” can be controlled by an employer or service provider, and is a secure space that provides authenticated applications that are walled off from another virtual device. A host operating system provides a hardware abstraction layer. A proxy server on the host operating system receives an incoming signal from a remote device on the external network, and routes the incoming signal to one of the first and second virtual machines based on a call context. A method and computer program product for providing a plurality of virtual interfaces on a mobile device are also disclosed.
