A system, method and computer program product for composing persistent object instances that link resources across multiple, disparate systems. An example method includes associating resources with namespace-URLs and object instances. One of the namespace-URLs is designated as primary namespace-URL. A web-based object API is provided through which the object instance can be accessed. The web-based object API uses the primary namespace-URL as an identifier of the object instance.

Composition of persistent object instances linking resources across multiple, disparate systems

An embodiment of the invention provides a method for sending a message from a first user to a second user where an interface receives a message from the second user. A processor connected to the interface identifying one or more keywords in the message and searches an electronic database for the keyword(s) to identify one or more scripted message for the keyword(s). The electronic database includes scripted messages for each keyword in the electronic database. A communications device connected to the processor sends the identified scripted message(s) to the second user.

Cognitive messaging with dynamically changing inputs

Mechanisms are provided for implementing a personalized health care management system. The mechanisms receive a personalized health care plan for a patient having at least one health goal of the patient, and dynamic patient monitoring data from one or more patient monitoring devices associated with the patient. The mechanisms analyze the dynamic patient monitoring data to determine at least one first communication to output to the patient containing content eliciting conformance of the patient with the personalized health care plan to achieve the at least one health goal. The mechanisms send, to a patient care manager computing device of a patient care manager associated with the patient, a second communication based on results of analyzing the dynamic patient monitoring data. The second communication initiates a new communication session, or continues an existing communication session, between the patient care manager computing device and a patient communication device associated with the patient.

Continuous health care plan coordination between patient and patient care team

A method is provided, the method including initiating execution of a macro-transaction comprising a set of micro-transactions, wherein execution of a given micro-transaction is based at least on a set of prerequisites associated with the given micro-transaction; causing a pending state of a first micro-transaction to be stored on a database; executing the first micro-transaction; and updating the state of the first micro-transaction in the database based at least on a result returned in response to executing of the first micro-transaction. An apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

System and method for management and recovery of multi-service web transactions

A computer detects the receipt of a destination and mode of transportation from a user. The computer determines potential routes to the destination using static map information and splits the routes into shorter lengths known as segments. The computer determines a commute time for each of the segments based on static map information, known as a static segment commute time, and determines whether any of the segments have been previously commuted by the user. If so, the computer replaces the static segment commute times with the segment commute times recorded during previous commutes of the segment, known as habitual segment commute times. The computer then determines the total commute time of each potential route based on the static and habitual segment commute times and records additional habitual segment statistics as the user commutes the selected route.

Verifying a set of safety equipment criteria may include receiving a first unit of data at a first computing device. The first unit of data may be received via a wireless signal between the first computing device and a set of sensing devices. A set of safety equipment that includes the set of sensing devices may be identified as the first unit of data. The set of sensing devices may be configured to transmit the first unit of data. The wireless signal between the first computing device and the set of sensing devices may be monitored and the signal strength for the wireless signal may be determined to be below a threshold value. A second computing device may be notified in response to the determining that the signal strength for the wireless signal is below the threshold value.

Safety equipment criteria verification

A system, method and computer program product for detecting data omissions between intermittently-connected devices. An example system includes a client device configured to execute client queries on a client data set, and generate client result sets. The client queries and client result sets are stored on a query queue as queued queries and queued result sets. The system includes a server device with a data omission detector and server database. The data omission detector receives the queued queries and queued result sets after detecting a network connection, executes server queries on the server database and generates server result sets. The server queries are based on the queued queries. The data omission detector compares the server result sets with queued result sets to determine if there are data omissions. Data omissions include data absent in the queued result set that is present in a server result set.

Detecting data omissions for an intermittently-connected application

A database manager, computer program product and methods for managing a database utilized by multiple applications. In one embodiment, the database manager performs a database record change to database records by a first application. The database manager branches the database records such that the database record change is visible to the first application and is not visible to one or more other applications accessing the database. The database manager can merge database record changes made by the other applications such that database schema changes made by the other applications are visible to the first application.

Concurrent database access by production and prototype applications

Techniques for constructing a software application are provided. A data model of the application is represented as a relational model. Control logic of the application is defined to specify each of a plurality of operations of the application as a mapping from a current state of the application data model and one or more current application inputs to a new state of the application data model and one or more application outputs, described by one or more relational algebra operations selected from the group consisting of a relation-complement operation, a disjunction operation and a conjunction operation.

Constructing declarative componentized applications

A method, system and computer program product for flexible service configuration. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a procedure request to perform a procedure at a target server, detecting by the target server at least one deficient parameter in the procedure request, suspending processing of the procedure request, sending a request by the target server for additional information from a middleware system to correct the at least one deficient parameter in the procedure request, and resuming the procedure request upon receiving the additional information.

System and method for flexible and deferred service configuration

A method for dynamically deploying an application in a client-server environment includes evaluating at least one constraint of at least one of the application or the client-server environment and partitioning the placement and execution of components of the application in the client-server environment dynamically at runtime according to the at least one constraint.

Methods for dynamic partitioning of applications in client-server environments

An on-demand manager provides an improved distributed data processing system for facilitating dynamic allocation of computing resources among multiple domains based on a current workload and service level agreements. Based on a service level agreement, the on-demand manager monitors and predicts the load on the system. If the current or predicted load cannot be handled with the current system configuration, the on-demand manager determines additional resources needed to handle the workload. If the service level agreement violations cannot be handled by reconfiguring resources at a domain, the on-demand manager sends a resource request to other domains. These other domains analyze their own commitments and may accept the resource request, reject the request, or counter-propose with an offer of resources and a corresponding service level agreement. Once the requesting domain has acquired resources, workload load balancers are reconfigured to allocate some of the workload from the requesting site to the acquired remote resources.
