Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for function-defined output streams corresponding to combinations of events published to one or more event notification streams in an event-driven architecture with a plurality of event notification streams. An output function is received defining a combination of event notifications with criteria for selecting which event notifications to combine from one or more event notification streams. The one or more event notification streams are parsed, and event notifications are selected to initialize a new event notification stream, where event notifications in this stream correspond to instances of the output function when provided a set of event notifications from the one or more event notification streams as input values. When an event notification is published to the one or more event notification streams meeting the criteria specified in the output function, the new event notification stream publishes an event notification corresponding to an output value from the output function.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of provisioning resources associated with a plurality of instances of a computer system, the resources being allocated at runtime and only for instances of the computer system which use the resources, comprising: intercepting a call for access the computer system to a resources; responsive to the intercepted call being a first call for access by the computer system to the resource: blocking further calls for access by the computer system to the resource; binding the instances of a computer system to the resource; configuring the resource; and unblocking further calls for access by the computer system to the resource.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for auto formatting changes to computer program source code stored in a code repository. The code comprises a plurality of separately identifiable sections each of which includes non-functional formatting information which differs between at least some of the sections. In response to a user input request a selected source code section is extracted and edited via a user interface. A set of formatting rules is determined automatically from at least the code section being edited. This set of rules is one of a plurality of possible sets corresponding to the separately identifiable sections. The edited code is then formatted according to the determined set of formatting rules and stored in the code repository.

Abstract: A board game for teaching the principles of personal finance whereby significant wealth may be accumulated includes a playing board having a first, Daily Grind, track and an interconnected second, Diamond Cut. Each player selects a game piece and begins the game on the Daily Grind track. Collectively, they start by making formative level decisions and purchases that influence how they start financially, professionally and personally. The items they buy in the Formative stage are added to their game piece. Then they take turns rolling the dice one time and based on the outcome combined with their earlier decisions they get to choose from the set of matching game cards. The Game Card is configured as a combined Income/Balance Sheet, and basic accounting rules of personal finance are carefully followed in updating the Game Card while a player progresses along the Daily Grind, initially in Growth Mode.

Abstract: A method for determining relationship data associated with application programs in a messaging system, comprising the steps of: responsive to at least one first message event sending a message from a first application to a first destination and at least one second message event retrieving, by a second application, the message from a second destination, intercepting message data associated with the message; analysing the intercepted message data in accordance with one or more rules in order to find one or more message parameters; and in response to finding the one or more message parameters, identifying the first message event and identifying the second message event, determining a relationship associated with the first application and the second application. An apparatus and computer program element for determining such relationship data are also provided.
