Abstract: Removal or modification of an installed program on a computer device is requested by a calling process in a user account which itself may or may not have administrator privileges. An agent, cooperating with an operating system, intercepts a call to remove or modify the installed program made by the calling process prior to reaching an uninstaller component of the operating system. The agent determines whether or not to allow the remove or modify request and, if permitted, provides a proxy process through which the requested action to remove or modify the installed program is performed.

The memory includes a privileged node ID configured to identify, and associated solely with, the first node and the CAN controller is configured to generate at least one CAN security rule update message to be sent to the at least one secondary node in the CAN that updates at least one security rule employed by the at least one secondary node in the CAN.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for running virtual machines based by probing installation media. A media probe executing on one or more processors may identify an installation media for configuring a virtual machine on a type of operating system. The media probe may detect the type of operating system from the installation media. A virtualization manager executing on the one or more processors may determine a virtualization mode for configuration of the virtual machine based on the type of operating system detected from the installation media. The virtualization manager may create the virtual machine in accordance with the virtualization mode determined based on the type of operating system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically managing and increasing the efficiency of non-authorized software installation such as on mobile devices having restricted operating systems.

Abstract: Compliance schemes may be associated with compliance types to provide resource compliance management. Compliance types may be created and associated with different compliance schemes. Compliance state for the compliance types may be generated and provided in response to requests to access the compliance state. Queries for compliance state, for example, may request compliance state, and query predicates or other criteria may be applied to the compliance state in order to perform the query.

Abstract: An apparatus can have a processor configured to determine a length of time that a vehicle is in a region and to determine whether the vehicle needs to be configured for the region based on the determined length of time. Configuring a vehicle can include configuring updating the software/firmware of the vehicle.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using service pool architecture for multitenant services to support canary release. An enterprise canary release server may create a plurality of service pools for a tenant in a cloud-based system that supports a plurality of tenants, where each service pool may comprise a plurality of microservices. The enterprise canary release server may receive a request to perform a canary release for a new version of software and identify a first microservice out of the plurality of microservices in a first service pool. The enterprise canary release server may instantiate a new microservice in the first service pool and enable data plane connectivity between the new microservice and a second microservice. Accordingly, the enterprise canary release server may disable data plane connectivity between the first microservice and the second microservice.

Abstract: Compatibility of a callable unit program configuring a user program is provided. A code generator that generates a code having a format executable by a control device from the user program generates an instruction code creating a structure storing association information associating a name of an argument with a value set to the argument with respect to a call expression, and converts the call expression into an instruction code calling the unit program using an identifier of the structure. A value of association information is set to the argument when the association information corresponding to the name of the argument is stored in the structure with respect to each argument of the unit program, an instruction code setting a predetermined value to the argument is generated when the association information is not stored.
