The application communicates registration information to an extension mechanism within the mobile computing platform. The extension mechanism registers the application and modifies the operating system component to provide interoperability with the application based on the registration information. The extension mechanism couples the operating system component with content from a counterpart application to the application, which corresponds to information presented on the operating system component.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a system for defining, distributing and enforcing policies for authorizing API (Application Programming Interface) calls to applications executing on one or more sets of associated machines (e.g., virtual machines, containers, computers, etc.) in one or more datacenters. This system has servers that act as a logically centralized resource for defining and storing policies and parameters for evaluating these policies. The servers enforce these policies and distribute the policies and parameters to policy-enforcing local agents that execute near the applications that process the API calls. From an associated application, a local agent receives API-authorization requests to determine whether API calls received by the application are authorized. In response to such a request, the local agent uses one or more parameters associated with the API call to identify a policy stored in its local policy storage to evaluate whether the API call should be authorized.

Abstract: Recommending applications based on call requests between applications is disclosed, including: receiving a plurality of sets of application call request recordings from respective ones of a plurality of client devices; using the plurality of sets of application call request recordings to generate association relationships between a first application and one or more other applications; determining a set of application recommendation information determined based at least in part on the association relationships between the first application and the one or more other applications; and sending the set of application recommendation information to a recipient client device.

Abstract: In an approach to detection of co-location of container services, a method may include monitoring a load on one or more resources accessible by cloud containers located on a first host. The method may further include identifying a bit string from the monitored load of the one or more resources. A high load on the one or more resources for a time period indicates a first bit value, and a low load on the one or more resources for the time period indicates a second alternate bit value. The method may further include receiving a shared key corresponding to a second program in a second cloud container. The method may further include determining the second cloud container is located on the first host based on the shared key matching a key corresponding to the identified bit string.

Abstract: An application control system (ACS) in a computer device intercepts a request to launch a requested application by a calling process, and determines, based on the requested application, that user interaction is required before launch. In response, the ACS establishes whether or not the calling process is associated with a controlling terminal and, if so, performs the user interactions using that controlling terminal. Where the user interactions are successful then the intended application is permitted to launch or, conversely, the intended application may be denied. Other solutions are provided in the event that the calling process is not associated with the controlling terminal.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for interoperability between programs associated with different addressing modes. A caller program associated with a first addressing mode (e.g., a 32-bit program or a 64-bit program) that is executing within a parent runtime environment makes a call to an external interface to execute a target callee program that is associated with a second addressing mode different from the first addressing mode. The target callee program is then executed in a pre-initialized secondary runtime environment that executes on the same task or thread as the parent runtime environment.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to trigger a scaling action for scaling an application having a set of one or more virtual machines (VMs). Virtualized Network Functions (VNF) are scaled by adding or removing resources to/from existing VMs. In an example method for triggering a scaling action for scaling an application having a set of one or more VMs, a threshold value is adapted based on an evaluation of a monitored system key performance indicator and a monitored external key performance indicator. The threshold value is used for triggering the scaling action. The scaling action is validated based on the monitored external key performance indicator.

Abstract: A protocol processor for Internet-accessible collaboration systems. A protocol processor is coded into a user interface module that communicates with an Internet-accessible collaboration system. After downloading the user interface module to a user's device, the user interface is launched. The user interface includes an area configured to receive user-specified non-HTTP uniform resource identifiers (URIs). The protocol processor of the user interface module interprets URI-formatted input from the user, and compares the user's URI-formatted input to a set of protocols that are configured into the protocol processor. Any of a set of non-HTTP uniform resource identifiers can correspond to respective API call entry points. A portion of the non-HTTP URI is mapped an API entry point, and any parameters specified in other portions of the non-HTTP URI are mapped to corresponding API parameters. The API is invoked with the parameters to cause actions to be taken at the Internet-accessible collaboration system.
