Patent number: 10467058Abstract: Systems and methods according to various embodiments disclose a worker process manager adapted to spawn one or more worker processes on a server and to load an application on each of the worker processes. The worker process manager is adapted to isolate the one or more worker processes from each other and to control resource usage by the worker processes. A resource manager is adapted to detect applications that overuse system resources. The worker process manager is adapted to isolate worker processes and to control resource usage using one or more of the following techniques: least-privilege execution, messaging isolation, credentials isolation, data isolation, network isolation, fair share resource usage, and managed runtime security. Heuristic algorithms are used to detect applications that frequently overuse system resources that are unchargeable and that cause system unresponsiveness.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Girish Mittur Venkataramanappa, Mandyam Kishore, Andreas Ulbrich, Aarthi Rajmohan Saravanakumar, Chandra Prasad, Yann Christensen, Dharma Shukla, Amol Kulkarni

Patent number: 9336060Abstract: A framework and middleware services for developing, deploying and managing composite applications is disclosed. The middleware services may be deployed on-premises or in the cloud. The framework includes a rich collection of middleware services, an application model to compose services into a composite application, a high-density multi-tenant scalable container to host the composition logic, and unified lifecycle management of the composite application and its constituent services.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2011Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Anil K. Nori, Dharma Shukla, Yann Christensen, Murali Krishnaprasad, Igor Sedukhin

Patent number: 8468548Abstract: A container service is capable of hosting large numbers of middleware components for multiple tenants. A central container manager controls a plurality of compute nodes. The central container manager receives middleware components from external devices or services and assigns the components to containers on one or more designated compute nodes. Each compute node has a container management agent and one or more containers. The container management agents activate and manage the appropriate number of containers to run the assigned middleware components. The container management agent assigns each container on its compute node a limited set of privileges to control access to shared resources. The central container manager and each node's container management agent monitor container load levels and dynamically adjust the placement of the middleware components to maintain balanced operation. The compute nodes are grouped into clusters based upon the type of middleware components hosted on each compute node.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2010Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Amol Kulkarni, Girish Mittur Venkataramanappa, Yann Christensen, Chandra Prasad, Dharma Shukla, Sumit Mohanty, Vinod Shanbhag, Andreas Ulbrich, Mandyam Kishore, Aditya Bhandarkar

Publication number: 20070124738Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for converting an object of one type to an object of another type that allow for the runtime operation of the conversion process to be altered or customized. The conversion may occur within an extensible serialization engine that serializes, deserializes, and transforms objects of various types. The runtime operation of the serialization engine is altered by one or more extension routines that implement the desired customizations or extensions, without requiring replacement of other existing routines. Based on type information, identified for an initial object, the object is converted to an intermediate representation which permits runtime modification, including modification of object names, object types, and object data. The intermediate representation of the initial object is modified in accordance with extension routines that alter the runtime operation of the serialization engine, and the intermediate representation is converted to a final object and type.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2006Publication date: May 31, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Stefan Pharies, Sowmy Srinivasan, Natasha Jethanandani, Yann Christensen, Elena Kharitidi, Douglas Purdy

Publication number: 20050193097Abstract: Internet web servers provide processing services, in addition to data and visual content, to provide remote clients with access to processing services located on servers. The client processes communicate with these service providing servers over a distributed network like the Internet using standard HTTP communications protocol and XML data exchange language. Client processes send an HTTP request to a remote server for processing. This processing request may contain input data that is to be used in responding to the request. The server processes the request using the input data, and possibly other data obtained from remote databases, and returns a resultant XML specified data packet. This processing requests, may be initiated using a web browser from an HTML based web page or using a smart client process that simply sends a processing request along with input data and consumes the resultant data packet.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2005Publication date: September 1, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Scott Guthrie, Erik Christensen, Yann Christensen
