Abstract: The disclosure is directed to socially enabled guidance for products with GUIs. A method in accordance with an embodiment includes: recording a set of sequential graphical user interface (GUI) interactions in a product GUI; saving the set of sequential GUI interactions in a file; importing the file containing the set of sequential GUI interactions; parsing the file to extract the set of sequential GUI interactions; highlighting a GUI interaction listed in the set of sequential GUI interactions; and in response to a user selection of the highlighted GUI interaction, highlighting a next GUI interaction listed in the set of sequential GUI interactions.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for collating and intelligent sequencing of installation documentation includes parsing one or more product installation documents to identify annotations associated with installation procedures. Installation procedure descriptions, parameters, and prerequisites associated with the identified annotations are extracted, and prescriptive step-by-step installation instructions that integrate installation procedures contained within the one or more installation documents are generated.

Abstract: In a method for managing updates for a software product, receiving a request to install a software product update, wherein the software product update modifies a software product on a computing device. The method further includes identifying a first set of one or more functions of the software product that are to be modified by the software product update. The method further includes identifying historical usage information corresponding to the software product, wherein the historical usage information indicates a second set of one or more functions of the software product and a number of times each respective function of the second set of one or more functions of the software product has been used by the computing device. The method further includes determining whether the software product update modifies at least one function of the software product that corresponds to historical usage information that exceeds a minimum usage threshold condition.

Abstract: In a method for document analysis, receiving a request to translate a document, identifying usage information corresponding to the document, wherein the usage information includes information corresponding to a current viewing session of the document and historical usage information corresponding to one or more previous viewing sessions of the document, and determining one or more sections of the document to translate based on the identified usage information corresponding to the document.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to metal fatigue analytics and alert systems. A system in accordance with an embodiment includes: a first database on a vehicle, the database storing a list of at least one metal part in the vehicle and corresponding metal batch information for each metal part in the list; a second database on a server remote from the first database, the second database storing metal batch information for at least one batch of metal from which faulty metal parts have been constructed; a comparing system for comparing the metal batch information stored in the first database with the metal batch information stored in the second database; and a messaging system for generating a failure alert message when the comparing system finds a match between the metal batch information stored in the first database and the metal batch information stored in the second database.

Abstract: In a method for generating a business process model project, a computer receives a data file comprising text, descriptive of a business process. The computer searches a sentence in the text for a keyword indicative of existence of a corresponding business artifact stated elsewhere in the sentence. In response, the computer identifies an indicator in the sentence, the indicator designating a name of the corresponding business artifact. The computer identifies a business artifact based on the keyword and the indicator. The computer generates a business process model project based in part on the business artifact.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for switching process types in a process engine. The system includes a process engine for running a process, wherein the process includes invoking one or more external services. An event manager is provided having one or more defined policies and including: a comparison component for comparing runtime metrics of the process with the one or more defined policies and determining if the process infringes one or more defined policies; and a switching component for switching the process from an uninterruptible process to a long running process including copying state information on the process from in-memory storage to persistent storage. The system also includes a storage mechanism that acts as a storage façade to ensure the copying of state information on the process from in-memory storage to persistent storage is transparent to the process engine and a connection manager through which exchanges with clients and external services takes place.
