Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for testing a software application. User interactions with the functional and non-functional aspects of software applications are monitored. User experience profiles are then generated for the monitored users based on the monitored interactions. The best user experiences in connection with interacting with specific functional and non-functional aspects of the software applications are then identified based on the generated user experience profiles. Virtual users having different types of best user experiences in connection with interacting with different functional and non-functional aspects of the software applications are created. The software application is then tested using the virtual users to determine if the functional and non-functional aspects of the software application satisfy the best user experiences associated with the virtual users.

Abstract: In a hierarchical multiple-node supply chain, a commodity is sold a first time at a first end of the supply chain and is resold multiple times across the supply chain before being sold a final time at a second end of the supply chain opposite the first end. A user who is a buyer and/or a seller within the supply chain is interacted with by exchanging text messages with a mobile phone device of the user to provide the user with a current price of the commodity for a type of the user within the supply chain, and to receive from the user an actual price of the commodity in a current transaction in which the user was involved. The type of the user includes a node within the supply chain to which the user corresponds.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for disabling at least one application in a mobile device, wherein a communications component of the mobile device receives a request to disable the application and a certificate. The certificate defines a geographic area in which the application is to be disabled. The geographic location of the mobile device is determined with a location component in the mobile device; and, a processor in the mobile device compares the geographic location of the mobile device to the geographic area defined in the certificate to determine whether the geographic location of the mobile device is within the geographic area. The processor validates the certificate to determine whether the request to disable the application is authorized. When the certificate is valid and when the geographic location of the mobile device is within the geographic area, a controller in the mobile device disables the application.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for managing multilevel hierarchical structured information in disparate knowledge repositories. An association data structure is created for an entity as metadata in a metadata repository. The association data structure is populated with association information about the entity. A process data structure is created for the entity as metadata in the metadata repository. The process data structure is populated with process information about the entity. Information about a multi-phased process is then collected by extracting process information from each entity of the multi-phased process across the disparate knowledge repositories. The collected information comprising information about the multi-phased process is then stored in the process data structure in the metadata repository.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for preserving temporal associations between assets located across a plurality of datastores in a network. Metadata about each asset located in the plurality of datastores is stored, wherein the metadata includes one or more time attributes of each asset. Temporal associations are created between the assets using the time attributes of each asset. The temporal associations between the assets are then stored. Responsive to receiving a request from a user to view a set of assets in the datastores, the temporal associations of the set of assets or links to associated assets may be displayed to the user.
