Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an update to a natively rendered application installed on a mobile device are provided. A method includes updating a base application with a unique tailored solution for each client that has created its own unique tailored solution. The method further includes storing, for each client that has created its own unique tailored solution, the base application with its unique tailored solution, as separate versions of the base application in a storage system. The method further includes adding common additional code to each of the separate versions of the base application, while preserving the unique tailored solution for each client that has created its own unique tailored solution. The method further includes pushing the base application with the common additional code to the client.

Abstract: A system and method is provided to determine location information of a portable computing device and, in particular, to a secure and scalable system and method of decoupling and exposing handset originated location information to third parties. The system includes a location platform to determine location information of a remote user, and an encryption service configured to secure the location information of the remote user and send the secure location information to a content provider.

Abstract: A system and a method are provided for enabling effective work force management of a smart grid. The method includes receiving a first Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message comprising a state of an electrical component on an electrical grid; and notifying a third party of the state of the electrical component by sending a second SIP message.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed that facilitates context delivery during communication sessions. The approach may be implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to: render at least one service to a user device through a communication session; collect information of the communication session; and send the information of the communication session to a service provider when a call is setup between the user device and the service provider. The service provider renders the information of the communication session for viewing by the service provider.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided for determining points of interest using intelligent agents and semantic data. The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable for receiving a media data comprising a location data comprising where media was captured. The instructions are also operable for determining at least one point of interest based on the media data, tying the media data to the at least one point of interest, and providing the media data tied to the at least one point of interest to an end user.

Abstract: Systems and processes of advanced identity management over multiple identity providers deployable through mobile applications are provided. The process, e.g., method, includes requesting a backend service from multiple backend services by a requesting device. The method further includes exposing the requested backend service though a call in by a gateway service using a token mapped to the requested backend service, without exposing any of the backend services directly to the requesting device.

Abstract: An architecture and method of voicemail based on session initiated protocol presence and location information of a callee is disclosed. A method of providing voicemail includes determining a location and a presence of a callee, and playing a customized voicemail greeting to a caller based on preferences defined by the callee and also based on at least one of the location and the presence.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for providing location based services. The system includes at least one module configured to publish location information of a mobile user using a publish subscribe format based on a user preference mode of notification.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing information security in a network environment. The method includes receiving a user selection of a data section recorded on a storage system. The method further includes determining a monitoring routine for the data section. The method further includes determining a physical location at which the data section is recorded in the storage system. The method further includes monitoring the physical location for faults according to the monitoring routine.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided for wireless establishment of identity via bi-directional radio-frequency identification (RFID). The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable for sending device data including at least a username and a password to a transceiver. The method also includes receiving an identifier of an access point in a wireless network from the transceiver, the transceiver sending the device data to the access point via a security server. The device data is sent to the access point based on the identifier of the access point, the access point establishing a secure connection to the computer infrastructure based on the device data received from the transceiver and the computer infrastructure.

Abstract: Approaches for application testing are provided. An approach includes recording a test case of an application running on a mobile device. The approach also includes generating an expected layout based on object data received from the mobile device during the recording. The approach additionally includes receiving playback object data based on the test case being played back on the mobile device or a different mobile device. The approach further includes comparing the playback object data to the expected layout data.

Abstract: Systems and processes of accessing selected backend services throughout a software development lifecycle with a singly deployable mobile application is provided. The method includes deploying a mobile application a single time on a mobile device during a development lifecycle. The method further includes providing the singly deployed mobile application access to different service endpoint destinations during the development lifecycle based on one or more application policies associated with at least the mobile application.

Abstract: A mobile application management through policy inclusion using centralized enforcement libraries is disclosed. The method includes storing independently developed mobile applications on at least one server. The method further includes storing independently developed policies associated with each of the independently developed mobile applications on the at least one server.
