  • Patent number: 11922150
    Abstract: A software project management system can store object data about components of a software development project, such epics, features, and stories. The software project management system can also store dependency objects that reflect dependency relationships between two or more components of the software development project. The dependency objects can track status information about the dependency relationships, including expected completion dates, acceptance criteria, and state indicators. The information stored in the dependency objects can be updated over time as information about the dependency relationship changes. The software project management system can also use the dependency objects to display information in a user interface about one or more dependency relationships, such as to indicate which dependency relationships are on track or behind schedule.

  • Patent number: 11893365
    Abstract: Techniques for generating application interfaces based on semantic-level data are described herein. Application developers may semantically define an application flow. Based on the definition, a system may identify a template of a multipage navigable interface that is compatible with the flow. If multiple templates are compatible, then a template may be recommended or automatically selected based on the semantic information provided by the developer. The system may generate, based on the template and the semantic definition, a multipage navigable interface. The template may encapsulate some design and functional elements in a manner that is independent of the semantic definition.

  • Patent number: 11855844
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for improving the deployment of a cloud-hosted service. Before being deployed to a particular environment, a cloud-hosted service must be configured for that environment. Configuring a deployment includes determining which components to deploy, determining how to connect with external components, identifying onboarding procedures, etc. A dependency data model defines a hierarchy of components utilized by the cloud-hosted service. For each component in the hierarchy, configuration parameters define how to deploy that component. A list of configuration parameters that do not yet have values for a target environment may be generated and provided to a user. Values for these parameters may then be received. A configuration for the target environment is then generated based on the dependency data model and the received values. The dependency data model may inherit dependencies and configuration properties from ancestors in a hierarchy of dependency data models.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for assessing and auditing release readiness for a software application. A server receives identification of a software application to be deployed to a production computing environment. The server determines technical attributes of the identified software application from application lifecycle management tools. The server selects one or more release readiness assessment criteria corresponding to the identified software application. The server applies the technical attributes of the identified software application to the release readiness assessment criteria to generate a release readiness score for the software application. The server deploys the identified software application to the production computing environment when the release readiness score is at or above a predetermined threshold. The server prevents deployment of the identified software application to the production computing environment when the release readiness score is below the predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: Embodiments for scaling services in a distributed network by registering bucket names for the services with a Domain Name Service (DNS) server. Buckets hold resources and distribution of buckets to servers is maintained using a Consistent Hashing Ring. Upon determining that services servers need to be added or deleted based on changes load conditions, leave/join events are managed by a Kubernetes event service and updates are propagated to all of the services by the membership service component. A service scaling process updates the mapping of buckets to the host name of the new service server. A resource request from a client is sent to the mapped bucket name, and a DNS resolver process sends it to the changed service server so that the client is completely unaware of this change in bucket ownership.

  • Patent number: 11620542
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, system and apparatus that enable operations that may include receiving, by a processing system, project data defining a proposed machine learning (ML) project of an entity and storing the project data in a project database with other project data for other projects. The operations may further include extracting extracted features of the proposed project and, based on the extracted features, determining a clustering assignment for the proposed project. Determining the clustering assignment may comprise comparing information about the proposed project including the extracted features with information about the other projects and assigning the proposed project to a cluster including one or more projects having similar bias characteristics as the proposed project. The operations may further include determining a risk of potential bias for the proposed project and, based on the risk of bias, recommending a corrective action to reduce the risk of bias.

  • Patent number: 11615094
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for joining datasets in a distributed computing environment. The system comprises a memory 206 and a processor 202. The processor 202 identifies a skewed dataset from two or more datasets to be joined. The processor 202 identifies a replication parameter from a configuration file. The processor 202 then assigns a randomly assigned machine number to each chunk of the skewed dataset owned by the nodes/machines involved in the join operation. The processor 202 forms copies of the non-skewed dataset equal to the replication parameter and adds the copy number to each sample of the copy of the non-skewed dataset formed. Further, the processor 202 merges each non-skewed dataset into the final copy of the non-skewed dataset, forming a single non skewed dataset. The processor 202 then repeats these steps for all the non-skewed datasets involved in the join operation resulting in generation of merged copies of all the non-skewed datasets and then performs the joining operation.

  • Patent number: 11537579
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer obtains a mapping of a relational schema of a database to a graph data model. The relational schema identifies vertex table(s) that correspond to vertex type(s) in the graph data model and edge table(s) that correspond to edge type(s) in the graph data model. Each edge type is associated with a source vertex type and a target vertex type. Based on that mapping, a forward compressed sparse row (CSR) representation is populated for forward traversal of edges of a same edge type. Each edge originates at a source vertex and terminates at a target vertex. Based on the forward CSR representation, a reverse CSR representation of the edge type is populated for reverse traversal of the edges of the edge type. Acceleration occurs in two ways. Values calculated for the forward CSR are reused for the reverse CSR. Elastic and inelastic scaling may occur.

  • Patent number: 11477290
    Abstract: Virtual machines provide users with an ability to work with applications or whole desktops on remote system through a remote session or sessions. However, when a remote system hibernates/shuts down the remote session disconnects and subsequently the remote system may log off (close) the session in order to free system resources for other active sessions for other users. Accordingly, the session state is lost and when the user reconnects to the remote system a new session is created, and new instances of applications started in it. It would be beneficial to provide users with the features of the client device upon the remote system such that the remote system captures a current session state of a user's virtual session allowing it to be stored and then allows for subsequent restoration of the session upon the same remote system or another remote system which can access the stored virtual session state.
