Abstract: In an approach for providing a framework to register a sensor module and manifest the capability the sensor module supports, a processor receives a first module registration request, wherein the first module registration request includes a sensor module and metadata. A processor determines that the first module registration request is compatible with a second module registration request by comparing data stored in a module database associated with the second module registration request to data within the first module registration request. A processor updates the module database with the metadata of the first module registration request. A processor generates a module delegate, wherein the module delegate provides data access and interaction interfaces based on the metadata. A processor generates a custom configuration component.

Abstract: A system for improving memory management in a hybrid programming environment where a server program receives a request to execute a script. The server program instructs an embedded script engine to execute the script. The server program creates a session manager to manage objects associated with the script. The objects are comprised of host objects that reside in a program memory space, and script objects that reside in an embedded script engine memory space. The session manager creates a session associated with the execution of the script, and associated objects created during the execution of the script. Upon receiving notification of completion and/or termination of the execution of the script, the server program requests invalidation and/or deletion of the objects associated with the session. Deletion of host objects immediately releases memory in the program memory space without waiting for the scheduled garbage collection.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to an isolated program execution environment. An aspect includes receiving, by the isolated program execution environment on a computer comprising a processor and a memory, a request to run a program. Another aspect includes wrapping program code corresponding to the program as a function. Another aspect includes cloning a real global object of the isolated program execution environment to create a fake global object. Another aspect includes passing the fake global object to the function. Another aspect includes executing the function, such that the function executes the program.
