Multiple convergence parameter interfaces are provided, and multiple convergence parameters registered by an application by using the convergence parameter interfaces are received. Therefore, when a convergence operation request of a user or an apparatus for multiple applications is received, multiple convergence parameters of the multiple applications can be obtained from the multiple convergence parameter interfaces; and the multiple convergence parameters of the multiple applications are separately converged, so as to implement convergence of the multiple applications.

Abstract: An industrial control device allows end users to customize the mode model that defines rules for arbitrating between program and operator control. The industrial control device includes configuration tools that allow the user to define which set of states or modes are to be used for arbitrating between program control and operator control in accordance with the usages and standards of a given industrial facility or enterprise. The configuration tools also allow the commands for transitioning between the selected ownership states to be modified to conform to a desired ownership mode model. Using the mode model configuration tools, users can adapt the ownership mode model to conform to their own customer-specific or industry-specific standards of operator/program arbitration. In some scenarios, the customized mode model can be applied to defined multilevel equipment groupings such that control ownership is cascaded to all devices of a defined ownership chain.

Abstract: A method, an information handling system (IHS), and an event logging system generate combined event logs in an IHS. The method includes receiving, via a remote access controller (RAC), a tagged log containing operating system (OS) event data. A hardware log containing hardware event data is retrieved from a RAC memory. The tagged log and the hardware log are combined to form a combined event log containing both OS event data and hardware event data in a uniform format. The combined event log is stored to the RAC memory.

Abstract: In a method for dynamically binding data in an application, an expression describing a relation between a first property of a first data of the application to a first property of a second data of the application is received. A binding is created between the first data and the second data based on the relation. A change is propagated to the first property of the second data based on a change to the first property of the first data. It is determined when to execute the expression in the application.

Abstract: Systems are provided for logging transactions in heterogeneous networks that include a combination of one or more instrumented components and one or more non-instrumented components. The instrumented components are configured to generate impersonated log records for the non-instrumented components involved in the transaction processing hand-offs with the instrumented components. The impersonated log records are persisted with other log records that are generated by the instrumented components in a transaction log that is maintained by a central logging system to reflect a complete flow of the transaction processing performed on the object, including the flow through the non-instrumented component(s).

One embodiment provides for a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that cause a data processing system to perform operations to detect conflicts during a build process for a dynamic library, the operations comprising loading program code for the dynamic library to build for a first platform, determining a set of interfaces and data structures exported by the dynamic library for the first platform, determining a set of interfaces and data structures exported by the dynamic library for a second platform, parsing the set of interfaces and data structures to verify consistency of a build contract for the dynamic library, and generating a build error during a build process for the dynamic library upon detecting an inconsistent build contract specifying at least an application binary interface (ABI) for the dynamic library.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to text and/or image translation computing systems, and in particular, text and image processing of user-interface elements during run-time of a software application. Code is injected into an application binary file. During execution of the application the injected code executes to identify user-interface elements defined within the application and extracts various textual aspects, such as text strings, from the user-interface elements. The system translates the extracted text strings into a desired language and modifies the user-interface element to include the translated text.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer system stores entries for one or more instances of an application with keys generated for the instances in storage. The instances of the application are instantiated on the computer system. The computer system receives a request from the application with a current key for a current instance and parses the storage to determine if the current key is stored in the keys associated with the application. The computer system returns a response to the application with an indication whether the current key is stored as an entry in the one or more entries. The application uses the response to determine a redirection action to one of the one or more instances of the application when the current key is associated with an instance other than the current instance.

In addition the invention provides for data-centric robotics, policy and procedure robotics which manage end-to-end orchestration to provide a holistic throughput of event case processing.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods enabling a user to receive feedback regarding a computer-implemented design of an architectural structure as the user is designing or otherwise modifying the computer-implemented design using a computer-aided design (CAD) software tool. The feedback (hereafter also referred to as “design feedback”) may provide the user with useful analysis information regarding the architectural structure's predicted characteristics (e.g., operational performance, resource consumption, cost, etc.) based on the current state of the computer-implemented design. In particular, heating and cooling loads associated with the computer-implemented design of the architectural structure can be visually displayed to the user in real or near-real-time along with the relationships to contributing factors that impact the heating and cooling loads.

The method may include sending a request for a first data item to a plurality of storage nodes. The first data item may include a reference to a second data item stored in the storage system. The method may include receiving the first data item from at least one storage node, and sending a request for the second data item to the plurality of storage nodes based on the reference included in the first data item.

Abstract: The use of a skip element when redoing transactions, so as to avoid tracking dependencies between transactions assigned to different threads for parallel processing. When the second thread comes to a second task in the course of redoing a second transaction, if a first task that is mooted by the second task is not already performed, the second thread inserts a skip element associated with the object to be operated upon by the particular task, instead of actually performing the particular task upon the object. When the first thread later comes to the first task in the course of redoing a first transaction, the first thread encounters the skip element associated with the object. Accordingly, instead of performing the dependee task, the first thread skips the dependee task and perhaps removes the skip element. The result is the same regardless of whether the first or second task is redone first.

Abstract: Data from one or more sensors is input to a workflow and fragmented to produce HyperFragments. The HyperFragments of input data are processed by a plurality of Distributed Experts, who make decisions about what is included in the HyperFragments or add details relating to elements included therein, producing tagged HyperFragments, which are maintained as tuples in a Semantic Database. Algorithms are applied to process the HyperFragments to create an event definition corresponding to a specific activity. Based on related activity included in historical data and on ground truth data, the event definition is refined to produce a more accurate event definition. The resulting refined event definition can then be used with the current input data to more accurately detect when the specific activity is being carried out.
