Abstract: Method and system are provided for management of a touchscreen interface of a device. The method includes monitoring touchscreen interface function by logging data relating to user interaction with locations of the touchscreen interface. The logged data is then analyzed to identify one or more areas of the touchscreen interface which are inactive. The remaining active areas of the touchscreen interface are modeled to form a modified interface. An original touchscreen interface is then mapped to the modified interface resulting in only use of the remaining active areas.

Abstract: Event processing is prioritized based on system workload. A time constraint attribute is defined in an event rule. The event rule uses one or more events. An event processing system is monitored to determine when the system is under a predefined level of stress. If the system is determined to be under the predefined level of stress, the time constraint attribute in the event rule is used to establish when the processing of a received event used in an event rule must be carried out.

Abstract: A messaging system comprises a plurality of connected components and including a schema defining fields for messages, at least one field defined as non-essential. A mechanism for operating the messaging system comprises the steps of collecting one or more performance metrics for one or more components of the messaging system, determining that at least one performance metric has crossed a predetermined threshold, informing one or more components of the messaging system that a surge in workload has occurred, and the informed components removing non-essential fields from transmitted messages and/or not processing non-essential fields from received messages.

Abstract: A data messaging system includes a plurality of processing nodes. Each message processed by the data messaging system has associated with it a priority level. A first message is received for processing at a processing node of the plurality of processing nodes. It is determined if the processing node has an associated message staging area, and if a second message received by the data messaging system has a higher priority value than the first message. Based on a determination that the second message has a higher priority value than the first message, the processing of the first message by the processing node is delayed, and the second message is processed using the processing node instead.

Abstract: Managing connections for execution of a client software application. A client software application is analyzed before execution of the application using code analysis and, optionally non-functional metadata analysis, of the application to determine one or more classifications of operations of the application. A mapping of application operation classifications to server characteristics suited to the application operation classifications is maintained. Multiple servers currently available to process at least a portion of the client software application may be monitored, and each of the multiple servers may be characterized according to their performance and resources. The classifications of operations of the analyzed application may be compared to the characteristics of the multiple servers currently available using the mapping, and a server may be selected based on the comparison.

Abstract: Method and system are provided for software application execution including switching between optimized code for use profiles. The method includes: accessing an application having multiple executables for the same function for multiple use profiles. The method includes: executing code for a first use profile; receiving a prompt to change to a second use profile; suspending the execution of the code for the first use profile; retrieving switching code from a pre-computed data structure, wherein the switching code is for carrying out operations to transfer from executing code for a first use profile to executing code for a second use profile; performing the operations of the switching code; and resuming executing the application by executing code for the second use profile.

Abstract: An integration flow is monitored to determine a processing location of a message. The integration flow includes a route, one or more nodes, and one or more secure connectors. A first message is received by the integration flow. A central processing unit serialization load is received including a serialization of the first message on a first secure connector and a deserialization of the first message on a second secure connector. A processing load of the first message running on a first node of the one or more nodes is received. A first threshold of a processing load of the first message is received. The first threshold is determined to have been reached. Based on the first threshold being reached, a processing location of the integration flow is altered such that the first message is processed on a second node of the one or more nodes.

Abstract: Allocating threads to processors based, at least in part, on identifiers for thread sets and applications. A thread is paired with an application and, using the identifier for the application, an ID pairing is allocated to a processor.

Abstract: Managing a system comprising a pool of servers including a number of active servers. Utilization of the system capacity is monitored, in which the utilization results from a workload of the number of active servers. Upon detecting a critical utilization of the system capacity during the monitoring of the utilization of the system capacity, a duration of the detected critical utilization of the system capacity is predicted from a monitoring history of the utilization of the system capacity. Further, the number of active servers is increased, if the predicted duration exceeds a defined threshold. Tuning measures may also be deployed to handle surges in capacity utilization.

Abstract: Providing dynamic latency in an integration flow. An integration flow connecting multiple integration nodes and including at least one repeat node is managed, wherein a repeat node repeats by sending a message, a variation of a message, or an element of a message to multiple paths or to a single path multiple times.

Required latencies or variations of latencies between firing of repeats of the repeat node based on the collected data are determined. The latencies or variations of latencies between firing of the repeats of the repeat node are instructed to influence dynamically a flow of elements through the repeat node.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product handles a query generated by a user of one of multiple local network devices that are coupled to a network. Multiple system queries request states of the local network devices. Query statements, responsive to the system queries and being sent to a wide area network search engine, are intercepted. A natural language query, which is a logical query that is answered by one of the multiple query statements, is generated from one of the multiple query statements. An unstructured query, from a user, about a state of a particular device is received. The unstructured query from the user is compared with the natural language query in order to determine if a match between the query from the user with the natural language query exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: Processing events for use with a complex event processing system that includes a server computer system and a client application executable on a client computer system. The processing includes analyzing content of the events and assigning a plurality of attributes to associated event processing logic. A first attribute is associated with event processing logic that is operable to be applied at the client computer system and a second attribute is associated with event processing logic that is operable to be applied at a server computer system. The processing also includes using, in response to receiving a first event, assigned attributes to determine whether event processing logic associated with the first event is operable to be applied at the client computer system. The first event is forwarded to the server computer system based on determining that the event processing logic associated with the first event is not operable to be applied at the client computer system.
