Abstract: Shared computing resources may be determined for executing actions in an application workflow configuration. An application workflow configuration that describes a workflow that includes actions with respective action code executable to perform the actions may be obtained. Execution of the workflow may be directed according to the application workflow configuration. As part of execution of the workflow, an assignment of two of the actions may be individually determined for a same computing resource. Execution of the respective action code for the two actions may be caused according to the same computing resource.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to media broadcast technologies, and more specifically relates to a method and system for providing broadcast program recommendations in a digital television system. In one embodiment, a processor-implemented broadcast program recommendation method is disclosed, comprising: storing a user profile including a user interest pattern; tuning to a program channel not currently provided for display, using a tuner; extracting a snippet from the program channel; comparing, using a processor, the snippet with the user interest pattern, to identify a match; determining that the match is valid; and providing by the processor a notification of the match. The user interest pattern may comprise at least one of: a still image, a video clip, an audio clip, and a text pattern. The user profile may be created via selecting at least the user interest pattern from one of: a network source; and a user device.
