Abstract: A service provider system may include an application fulfillment platform that delivers desktop applications from a variety of sources to desktops on physical computing devices or to virtual desktop instances. An entitlement service of the platform may create and store entitlement records indicating which desktop applications each end user is entitled to and may manage the allocation of license activation slots for the desktop applications that are fulfilled through the platform. Licenses may be fixed for an end user or for a device, or may be floating licenses in a pool of licenses. An administrator in a service provider customer organization may specify the entitlements for its end users and may specify constraints on the allocation of licenses. Required applications may be pushed to end user devices. An end user's desktop applications, entitlements, and/or license activations may be retained or restored following the rebuilding of their computing resource instance.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for generating a visualization module for use within a framework for generating for display an interactive visualization of event data based on a static visualization library. In an embodiment, a computer system receives from a developer instructions for formatting event data for use with a visualization library, and rendering the formatted event data with the visualization library. The computer system then generates a visualization module including the received instructions, the visualization module being executable by another computer system to generate and cause display of an interactive visualization of received event data, the interactive visualization being dynamically modifiable in response to a user input.

Abstract: An aspect includes detecting a user gesture at a sender device, the user gesture indicating a direction relative to the sender device.
