  • Patent number: 11301530
    Abstract: An interactive library system comprised of a Processing Engine phase, a Presentation Engine phase, a Content Management phase, and a Content Editing/Reading pages phase, which work together in real time. The system, by providing a set of structures within an overarching database, provides the flexibility to build any data set (library) within an overarching data schema. The system proactively presents information to a user in real time as the system constantly scans to finds library matches to user text, saving the user from having to actively search and confirm information and greatly enhancing data handling capability. Further, each user has the flexibility to create a library most relevant to a user's particular position and needs, and select information for retrieval most useful to them.

  • Patent number: 11288061
    Abstract: A build system stores source code in source code repositories and generates deployment artifacts from a build pipeline. The build system receives requirements associated with certification criteria for certifying a deployment artifact based on the source code. The build system executes a build pipeline including build tasks that compile the source code to generate executable files storing executable instructions. The build system evaluates the certification criteria based on results of execution of the build tasks. The build system determines whether the deployment artifact is a certified deployment artifact based on the result of evaluation of the certification criteria. The build system stores a software asset information document in a source code repository identifying software assets build using the source code repository, for example, as a YAML file.

  • Patent number: 11281458
    Abstract: A method is disclosed of evaluating an organizational partition of developers into groups, wherein the evaluation is in relation to alterations of a software code. The software code is associated with a change history register indicative of previous alterations of the parts of the software code, each previous alteration being associated with a developer identity. The method includes parsing the change history register to acquire an association metric indicative of a number of associations between a developer identity and one of the previous alterations. The method also includes determining intra-group collaboration metrics and inter-group collaboration metrics for each group based on the association metrics. The intra-group collaboration metric is indicative of a sum over one or more parts of the software code.

  • Patent number: 11281491
    Abstract: Methods to execute an orchestration of computing services concurrently, the method including developing a representation of a set of services where each service relates to other services via different types of relationships. Also, applying a set of dependency rules for each type of relationship within the set of services such that the application of the dependency rules creates inter-step dependencies between steps representing state transitions of the set of services and developing the orchestration plan based on the inter-step dependencies that allows for concurrent execution of nondependent steps.

  • Patent number: 11275569
    Abstract: Mechanisms and techniques for providing continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) for data lake applications are disclosed. Assembly of code for an app is managed with a CI platform to create a container within a shared environment within which the app runs. The container is isolated from other containers and bundles software, libraries and configuration files and can communicate with other containers through defined channels. The shared environment provides a platform for running the app. The app writes to one or more tables maintained in the shared environment. Assembly of subsequent versions of code for the app is managed by the CI platform. Deployment of the assembled subsequent version of the code to the container is managed by the CI platform. Integration tests are run on the deployed subsequent version of the code with the CI platform. The subsequent version of the code replaces the app in the shared environment when integration testing is complete.

  • Patent number: 11237824
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are included for automatically tracking source code changes for a user-customized feature of a software project. Metadata identifying the annotated source code for the user-customized feature is stored in an annotation database. The metadata include a location of the annotated source code within the one or more files of a code repository for the software project and a description of the changes that were made to the annotated source code. The metadata is used to determine whether any subsequent changes made by a second user to the one or more files affect the source code annotated by the first user for the user-customized feature of the software project.

  • Patent number: 11238372
    Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems for simulation-based training of automated reinforcement-learning-based application managers. Simulators are generated from data collected from controlled computing environments controlled and may employ any of a variety of different machine-learning models to learn state-transition and reward models. The current disclosed methods and systems provide facilities for visualizing aspects of the models learned by a simulator and for initializing simulator models using domain information. In addition, the currently disclosed simulators employ weighted differences computed from simulator-generated and training-data state transitions for feedback to the machine-learning models to address various biases and deficiencies of commonly employed difference metrics in the context of training automated reinforcement-learning-based application managers.
