Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically selecting at least one service for use with a modeled user interface (UI). One process includes operations for identifying a modeled UI at design time in an integrated development environment (IDE) and collecting a set of information associated with the modeled UI. At least one service repository storing a set of services is searched based at least in part on the collected set of information associated with the modeled UI. At least a portion of the set of services is presented via a graphical user interface associated with the IDE. A selection of at least one of the presented set of services is received, and an augmented version of the modeled UI is generated based on the received selection.

Abstract: A search technology generates recommendations with minimal user data and participation, and provides better interpretation of user data, such as popularity, thus obtaining breadth and quality in recommendations. It is sensitive to the semantic content of natural language terms and lets users briefly describe the intended recipient (i.e., interests, eccentricities, previously successful gifts). Based on that input, the recommendation software system and method determines the meaning of the entered terms and creatively discover connections to gift recommendations from the vast array of possibilities. The user may then make a selection from these recommendations. The search/recommendation engine allows the user to find gifts through connections that are not limited to previously available information on the Internet. Thus, interests can be connected to buying behavior by relating terms to respective items.

Abstract: A flood attack of an information system is simulated by injecting an algorithmically compressed flood attack model into the information system to assess the effect of the attack upon the system. The flood attack model propagates from node to node throughout the system by way of virtual messages that time-project the flood attack model and do not disrupt system operation while the simulated flood attack is taking place. Programs of executable code installed on nodes of the information system generate and send the virtual messages describing the flood attack.

Abstract: Embodiments provide an independent layer between an application user interface and various data sources so that both the user interface and data sources can be added to, removed, or modified without affecting the other. The independent layer provides scalability to allow data sources and data providers to be plugged into a system in an easy manner. In one or more embodiments, the independent layer provides a common set of query APIs that can be used by client applications to make queries on one or more data sources. The independent layer then communicates the queries to one or more data providers associated with individual data sources. Queries are executed on the data sources and results are returned back up through the data providers and independent layer for consumption by a client application. In at least some embodiments, the client application comprises a web browser that makes use of the independent layer.

Abstract: Content personalization on personal cellular telecommunications devices includes determining subscriber personalization profiles each including at least one personalization parameter, determining universal Level 0 IDMs for display on all subscribers' personal cellular telecommunications devices irrespective of their location and their subscriber personalization profiles, and determining a set of at least two different personalized Level 1 IDMs for each universal Level 0 IDM for display on subscribers' personal cellular telecommunications depending on their location and subscriber personalization profiles. Personalization of Level 1 interactive display messages can take place either network side or handset side. Network side personalization requires a personalization server with subscribers' personalization profiles. Handset side personalization requires handset subscriber personalization filters.

Abstract: Semantic information may be secured by an agent using one or more semantic security labels (e.g., security predicates). The agent may be configured to allow other agents to access the semantic information according to a set of semantically expressed policies, strategies, and/or rules. A request to receive information may be mapped to a negotiation policy of the agent. The agent may evaluate the request against a semantic information sharing policy. If the information is accessible under the information sharing policy, the information may be provided. If not, the agent may negotiate information sharing terms using the negotiation ontology, strategy, and rules. Similarly, the agent may request information from other entities. Terms of the information requests may be negotiated using the negotiation ontology, strategy, and rules.

Abstract: Described herein are inexpensive high throughput methods to convert a target single stranded DNA (ssDNA) such that each nucleotide (or base) adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C) is converted to a pre-determined oligonucleotide code, with the sequential order preserved in the converted ssDNA, or RNA. The method does not require the use of DNA polymerases during the cycles and involves the use of an oligonucleotide probe library with repeated cycles of ligation and cleavage. At each cycle, one or more nucleotides on one end (e.g., either the 5? end or the 3? end) of a target, e.g., ssDNA, are cleaved and then ligated with the corresponding oligonucleotide code at the other end of the target ssDNA.
