Abstract: A method includes monitoring metrics at a mobile computing device. A substantive change in operating conditions is identified, based upon the monitored metrics. In response to the substantive change in the operating conditions, a smart container is automatically applied to a particular resource of the computing device. The smart container may define an enhanced security access policy. In accordance with a particular embodiment of the disclosure, the enhanced security access policy increases the level of protection to the resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods may include monitoring data input to and output from an application on a mobile device. Such systems and methods may include storing meta-data, which describes a behavior of the data input to and output from the application, on the mobile device. Such systems and methods may include determining whether a behavior of the application is anomalous based on the meta-data stored on the mobile device. Such systems and methods may include providing detailed data, which includes the data input to and output from the application, to another device in response to determining that the behavior of the application is anomalous based on the meta-data stored on the mobile device.

Abstract: A method may include receiving a selected document, or a set of documents, from a user, analyzing a content of the selected document, or documents, and determining a category of skill based on the content of the selected document.

Abstract: A system and method for integrating one or more resource servers for one or more types of devices are described using an enterprise service bus and network appliance as a service (NAaaS) application services. The enterprise service bus receives a request for one or more types of media, determines a first communication protocol of the request and one or more types of second communication protocols of the one or more resource servers, translates the request from a first communication protocol into one or more types of second communication protocols for one or more resource servers and retrieves one or more results matching the translated request from the one or more resource servers. A NAaaS application services determine one or more resource servers that the request is for based on the request matching a global index.

Abstract: Described are a dynamic interest profile (DIP) system and method for dynamically tracking interests of a user based on personal information. The DIP system obtains electronic documents of the user from a document stream and processes the documents to obtain certain information therefrom. Based on the information obtained from the documents, the DIP system identifies terms, people, documents, and collections that are of importance to the user. These items of importance become part of a dynamic interest profile of the user. The dynamic interest profiles persist in a database. The DIP system also provides an application program interface (API) for accessing DIPs in the database. Application programs can employ this API to customize program behavior to the particular interests of the user executing those programs.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, computer usable program code, and apparatus are provided for dynamically configuring a document sharing system. A document sharing system receives a first request to add a new image file type to the document sharing system. A configuration file is identified for the new image file type to form an identified configuration file. The new image file type is added to the identified configuration file and the identified configuration file is saved as a new configuration file. The new configuration file is used to access files without restarting or recoding the document sharing system.

Abstract: A system and method for translating and reformatting content are described. The system includes an enterprise service bus configured to receive a request from a first device to transmit media to a second device, the media including content in a first language. The system also includes network appliance as a service server-side application including a translation service and a formatting service. The translation service receives the request from the enterprise service bus, determines a second language for translation, determines the content for translation and translates the content to the second language. The formatting service generates a new version of the media including the content in the second language, the new version being formatted in a layout similar to an original version of the image. The enterprise services bus transmits the new version of the media to the second device for display.

Abstract: A system and method for implementing a service oriented architecture that supports complex event processing and business activity monitoring. An enterprise service bus (ESB) generates a first list of one or more devices, receives a selection from a user associated with a first device of a second device in the first list, generates a second list that includes functions associated with the selection from the first user, receives a request from the first device to perform one of the functions in the second list, translates a first communication protocol of the request received from the first device into a second communication protocol used by the second device to create a translated request, translates a first message format of the request into a second message format and transmits the translated request to the second device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method that includes incorporating an entity specification into a business process in response to an input by a user is described. The entity specification describes an element of a document and is associated with the business process. The computer-implemented method also includes determining a multifunction printer (MFP) from a heterogeneous mix of MFPs for implementation of the business process. The MFP has an associated executable language and a graphical user interface (GUI) specification. The computer-implemented method also includes associating the entity specification with an element of the GUI specification. The computer-implemented method also includes generating, from the entity specification and the business process, an executable that conforms to the executable language and the GUI specification and performs the business process when executed by the MFP. The computer-implemented method also includes deploying the executable to the MFP.

Abstract: A method and system for specifying, deploying and updating work flows. A request is received from a user of a system with components comprising a computing system and human representatives. The components facilitate routing and servicing the request. A work flow comprising manual and automatic steps is specified to perform the routing and servicing of the request. The automatic steps are automatically performed by the computing system and the manual steps are manually performed by the representatives. Both the automatic steps and the manual steps are uniformly defined in a single general-purpose markup language (e.g., XML). Further, a manual step is dynamically transformed into a new automatic step that is represented as a new XML action element. The new XML action element includes an identifier of a software routine to be executed to perform the new automatic step.
