Abstract: Embodiments of systems, apparatuses and methods provide enhanced function as a service (FaaS) to users, e.g., computer developers and cloud service providers (CSPs). A computing system configured to provide such enhanced FaaS service include one or more controls architectural subsystems, software and orchestration subsystems, network and storage subsystems, and security subsystems. The computing system executes functions in response to events triggered by the users in an execution environment provided by the architectural subsystems, which represent an abstraction of execution management and shield the users from the burden of managing the execution. The software and orchestration subsystems allocate computing resources for the function execution by intelligently spinning up and down containers for function code with decreased instantiation latency and increased execution scalability while maintaining secured execution.

Abstract: A system and method for data mining using domain-level context is provided. The system includes a computer system and a contextual data mining engine executed by the computer system. The system mines and analyzes large volumes of open-source documents/data for analysts to quickly find documents of interest. Documents/data are encoded into an ontological database and represented as a graph in the database linking contextual entities to find patterns and anomalies in context. Documents are separately analyzed by the system and scored on several different scales. The resulting information could be presented to the user via a visualization interface which allows the user to explore the data and quickly navigate to documents of interest.
