Abstract: A logical clock is implemented in networked nodes. Messages between nodes can include either a scalar timestamp or a vector timestamp. The scalar timestamp leads to an overhead reduction, and nodes can select whether to send a scalar or vector timestamp depending on requirements. Message recipients update their logical clock vector differently depending on whether the scalar or vector timestamp is received. Applications to multi-master databases are also provided. The clock conforms to Lamport clock requirements when the scalar timestamp is sent, and conforms to both Lamport and vector clock requirements when the vector timestamp is sent.

Abstract: An Application Programming Interface (API) is provided for interaction between a User Interface (UI) of a device and microservices provided from a cloud processing environment. The API provides a single device-type independent backend to the frontends of the microservices. The UI defines the data types and specific data that it needs for processing from a given microservice. The backend calls the appropriate microservice through the corresponding frontend of the microservice. The microservice may engage other microservices resulting in output being returned to the backend. The backend provides only the output associated with the data types and the specific data back to the UI.
