Abstract: A method to support ad hoc collaboration and generation of workflows for a team of users may comprise providing data from a provenance graph to launched applications, selectively using the provided data from the provenance graph and additional input to create derived data and derived outputs, and routing the derived data and the derived outputs to the provenance graph; recording, in the provenance graph, subsequences of the launched applications; recommending one of the recorded subsequences, based on the history of execution of the recorded subsequences of the launched applications; creating a new application with the recommended subsequences of the launched applications; launching the newly created application, and storing the newly created application in a catalog of applications for use by the user.

Abstract: Arrangements described herein relate to sharing a view presented on a touchscreen of a processing system. Whether a show gesture state is enabled on the processing system and whether a gesture event gate is open on the processing system are determined. The show gesture state determines whether a gesture detected by the touchscreen is depicted onto a version of the view shared with another processing system. The gesture event gate determines whether a corresponding gesture event is passed to an application that is active in the view.
