Publication number: 20230179499Abstract: A method and system for performing a movement of a service within a distributed system. In one embodiment, the method comprises determining one or more locations where the service is to be moved. The method further comprises for each of the one or more locations, computing a metric including a cross-cell cost (C-cost) or a data locality-cost (DL-cost) of the software service if a movement of the software service to a location was to occur, prior to performing the movement of the software service; and modelling a latency and availability of the system due to the movement of the software service to the location based on the metric. The method further comprises performing the movement of the service based on the modelled latency and availability of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2021Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Ray MORGAN, Alessandro CATORCINI, Isaac DIAMOND

Patent number: 8046683Abstract: A markup language document has data entry fields corresponding to markup language nodes that are arranged in a hierarchical structure of parents having child nodes. The hierarchical position of each markup language node in the hierarchical structure is expressed as a corresponding fragment of the markup language. For each parent, a markup language fragment is formed so as to have a plurality of portions each corresponding to the fragment of a respective child node without repeating any fragment of the respective child nodes. Portions that respectively correspond to the child nodes are used for data entry with the data entry fields, where an electronic form is displayed on a user interface for interactive data entry. The electronic form has one or more data entry fields each corresponding to one of the data entry fields of the structured markup language document and into which data can be entered.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2009Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jean-Marie H. Larcheveque, Anand Ramagopalrao, Michael B. Palmer, Alessandro Catorcini

Patent number: 7774620Abstract: Systems and methods that enable execution of applications at appropriate trust levels are described. These systems and methods can determine appropriate trust levels by comparing applications' permitted trust levels with their requested trust levels. These systems and methods can determine applications' permitted trust levels by comparing applications' execution locations with their published locations. Applications can also be executed at a restricted trust level at which potentially dangerous operations are prohibited.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2004Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Nathaniel W.

Patent number: 7568101Abstract: Digital signatures having an embedded view of signed data that lock the signed data but permit it to be repurposed are described. One of these digital signatures can be repurposed for signature by others, such as co-signers or counter-signers. Another of these digital signatures includes embedded information sufficient to recreate the embedded view using the signed data. A method for building a digital signature is also described that permits signing different parts of an electronic document.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2004Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alessandro Catorcini, Arungundram Narendran, Danny van Velzen, Mihaela C.

Patent number: 7296017Abstract: XML elements and related processes for validation of XML data files is disclosed. These elements are used to specify validation rules that are used by a real-time validation tool to validate data in a node of an XML data file. These elements also are used to specify error messages to be displayed when a node is found to be invalid. Further, they are used to associate executable code with a node that can be executed when the node is modified.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2003Date of Patent: November 13, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jean-Marie H.

Patent number: 7281018Abstract: A first data source has a plurality of nodes each corresponding to a respective piece of a form template. Each piece of the form template has one of more dependencies to the correspond node of the first data source. Dependencies can be bindings or validation of data. A second data source has a plurality of nodes. Differences are found between the first and second data sources by comparing each node in the first data source with a corresponding node in the second data source. The differences can be as to type, cardinality, name, or a movement, removal or addition of a node. The differences are used to update the dependencies of each piece of the form template to each node of the first data source. Each of the first and second data sources can be a document expressed in a markup language or in a web service definition language.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2004Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Andrew Paul Begun, Laurent Mollicone, Alessandro Catorcini
