Abstract: Embodiments offer a cloud system allowing workload management through the use of a zone-compartment architecture. A routing engine extracts an identifier from an incoming request to a cloud system. The routing engine then determines from a mapping in a service mesh, a target compartment corresponding to the identifier. Based upon the target compartment, the routing engine receives an IP address from a registry of the service mesh. Using the IP address, the routing engine routes the request to the target compartment for processing by an application. A database of the target compartment is replicated within another compartment within a different zone, thereby ensuring high availability. Based upon a recommendation provided by the zone, the target compartment may be split or merged to accommodate variations in workflow. The mapping and registry are updated according to changes in the compartments.

Abstract: A method and system for aggregating presence information generated by multiple devices associated with a single user is presented. A server acting as a presence agent on behalf of a first user and the first user's computing device receives and responds to a subscription request generated by a computing device operated by a second user that wishes to be permitted as a watcher of the first user. If the server is not capable of acting as a presence agent, then the first user's computing device assumes the role of a presence agent.

Abstract: A system for detecting and communicating the presence of one or more computing devices is presented. The invention also presents a method and system for aggregating presence information generated by multiple devices associated with a single user. A server acting as a presence agent on behalf of a first user receives and responds to a subscription request generated by a computing device operated by a second wishing to be permitted as a watcher of the first user. When the second user corresponds to access preferences of the first user, a notify message is sent to the second user's device that includes presence information indicative of an activity level and availability level associated with the first user. When the first user employs multiple computing devices, the server generates an aggregate presence document that is representative of the overall presence of the first user.
