Abstract: Common parameters in common between a plurality of request logs are extracted from parameters in the plurality of request logs. The plurality of request logs is obtained when a request is executed by a process that uses a plurality of components. A common parameter different from a common parameter extracted for another process among the extracted common parameters is determined as an identification parameter that identifies the process. This allows accurately categorizing the process based on a log to be obtained when the process is executed.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to interacting with a server in a read-eval-print loop (REPL) environment. In an embodiment, a client computer system receives a proxy object from a remotely-hosted server. The server maintains an execution context with which the client computer system interacts. The client system presents the received proxy object to the user for interaction with the object. The user input indicates how the data in the proxy object is to be processed. The interaction allows the user to manipulate the remotely-hosted data through the local computer system. The client system then, based on the user interaction, sends a user-initiated command to the remotely-hosted server using the proxy object. The user-initiated command indicates various portions of data hosted on the server that are to be returned to the user. The data received from the remotely-hosted server is then displayed at the client computer system.

Abstract: Creating and delivering advertisements within wrapped packages of cards, which selectively include (i) media content, including advertisement(s) for item(s) available for purchase, (ii) application functionality and/or (iii) e-commerce related transactional services. By defining the sequence order in which the cards are navigated when consumed, wraps may deliver advertisements in the context of a “story” or “narrative”, which unfolds as the cards are sequentially browsed, similar to the turning of the pages of a book or magazine. Ads thus become more compelling. In addition, with built-in transactional functionality, advertised Item(s) can be immediately purchased without having to exit the wrap.
