  • Publication number: 20160179878
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for optimized continuous query processing in an in memory data grid (IMDG). In an embodiment of the invention, a method for optimized continuous query processing in an IMDG includes receiving a request to add an object to an IMDG. The method also includes evaluating a continuous query upon the object in order to produce a result. The method yet further includes adding an attribute to the object referencing the continuous query and assigning a value to the attribute of the result. The method even yet further includes inserting the object with the attribute into the IMDG. Finally, the method includes returning the value of the attribute in lieu of repeating an evaluation of the continuous query in response to receiving a request to repeat an evaluation of the continuous query in respect to the object.

  • Patent number: 9244630
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to providing normalization techniques for reference data in an in-memory data grid. An aspect includes monitoring object creation and access in an in-memory data grid and identifying reference data in an object field of a plurality of object instances. A reference map for the object field is created and the reference map is replicated across all partitions of the in-memory data grid. The reference data of an embodiment is stored in the reference map and the object field is updated to identify the reference map. Accordingly, the reference data may be accessed using the created reference map.

  • Publication number: 20150293945
    Abstract: A method for autonomic data partition placement in an in-memory data grid (IMDG) based on usage sampling is provided. The method may include sampling access pattern data, during a configurable window, of a client accessing one or more data objects in the IMDG. Analytics are applied to the sampled access pattern data to determine a replacement partition schema, based on the analyzed sampled access pattern data exceeding at least one performance threshold. The deployed partition schema is altered, based on the replacement partition schema.

  • Publication number: 20150296041
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for collecting data associated with a mobile communication device, wherein the mobile communication device is executing a session associated with a mobile application over a wireless connection; assigning a corresponding weight value to each datum of the constraint data; generating a score for the communication session based upon the data wherein each datum is modified based upon the corresponding weight; and, in response to a determination that the score fails within a first range, store a context corresponding to the session in a persistent data storage and extend the session; in response to a determination that the score fails within a second range, distinct from the first range, store the context in the persistent data storage and maintain the session as a transient session; and, in response to a determination that the score does not fall within wither the first or second ranges, terminate the session.

  • Patent number: 9161169
    Abstract: In the sending messages, a notification system determines locations of mobile devices and user profiles for users of the mobile devices, identifies a target message for a target device, determines a number of users with overlapping target message candidacy based on the locations and the user profiles, and determines whether the number of users exceed a predetermined threshold. If the number of users exceeds the predetermined threshold, the notification system determines a target message trigger time based on when the number of users exceed a predetermined threshold, determines a target message assembly time and a target message delivery time, and determines whether a sum of the target message assembly time and the target message delivery time is less than a difference between a current time and the trigger time. If so, then a sending of the target message to the target device for displaying at the target device is triggered.

  • Patent number: 9135001
    Abstract: In a method for configuring an integrated development environment for programming a type of computer application, a computer receives a selection of a target application runtime program supporting one or more types of computer applications. The computer sends a request for information and receives information on the one or more types of computer applications supported by the target application runtime program. The computer determines, based on the received information, the one or more types of computer applications supported by the target application runtime program. The computer requests and receives a selection of the type of computer application.

  • Publication number: 20150220579
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for IMDG No-SQL schema optimization. In an embodiment of the invention, an IMDG No-SQL schema optimization method is provided. The method includes parsing documents of a No-SQL database, such as a document-oriented database, to select an object model mapping the documents of the No-SQL database to different portions of the IMDG, and selecting a partitioning schema for the IMDG according to the documents. Thereafter, a change in the documents of the No-SQL database can be detected, for example a change in data density of the documents of the No-SQL database, and in response to detecting the change, the documents of the No-SQL database are parsed to select a new object model of the No-SQL database mapping the documents to different portions of the IMDG, and to select a new partitioning schema for the IMDG according to the documents.

  • Publication number: 20150220310
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for optimizing objects in object oriented programming. A computer receives application code having a plurality of application object fields. The computer receives information detailing a set of user-defined classes, wherein the user-defined classes include at least one object field. The computer analyzes the plurality of application object fields and the information detailing the set of user-defined classes to identify at least one object field in the set of user-defined classes that does not appear in the plurality of application object fields. The computer generates an instance of at least one user-defined class of the set of user-defined classes, wherein the instance does not include the at least one object field that does not appear in the plurality of application object fields.
