An application term of a declarative programming language is provided for creating an application to be executed on a node in a cloud network. The application term is independent of an application configuration for the application prior to compilation of the application term and the application configuration is associated with the application at execution time. A resource term for preparing a resource for the application is provided independent of the application configuration prior to compilation and the application configuration prepares the resource of a selected node for the application at execution time. An action term for performing an action and a task term for performing a task of the action are provided independent of the application configuration prior to compilation. The terms are compiled and executed to build the application in the cloud network.

A retail checkout system includes a camera, a database, a processor, and a memory. The camera outputs an image of a purchase item. The database contains features of known items. The processor performs operations to extract features of the purchase item from the image of the purchase item, and identifies matches between the features of the purchase item and the features of known items. The processor identifies a group of candidate items among the known items responsive to insufficient matches between the features of the purchase item and the features of any one of the known items. The processor displays information identifying the candidate items, receives a command selecting one of the candidate items as matching the purchase item, and adjusts information in the database that defines the features of the selected one of the candidate items based on the features of the purchase item.

Automated item recognition for retail checkout systems

Methods, systems and computer program products for application centered node selection are provided. A plurality of nodes of a network having node attributes for executing applications are identified. Each node of the plurality of nodes is linked to an application based on a node attribute identified for the respective node. Each node linked to a linked application has a corresponding node attribute for executing the linked application. A node request is received for a target application. The node request may be independent of a node configuration, such as an IP address or DNS name. A node linked to the target application is selected and provided. The target application is executed by the selected node.

Application centered network node selection

A graphic visualization layer in an interactive development environment is displayed and used to create an application on a node of a computer network. The graphic visualization layer includes graphical shapes manipulated by a user to generate program language code for lifecycle stages of the application. The graphical shapes include an application graphical shape representing the application, a resource graphical shape representing a resource for the application, an action graphical shape representing an action for the application and a task graphical shape representing a task of the action. A selection of the application graphical shape is received. An application value for the application is received in an entry field of the application graphical shape. Program language code is generated based on the selection of the application graphical shape and the application value. The program language code is executable to install the application on a node of the computer network.

In some embodiments, a mobile device includes an interface configured to scan information from a communication tag associated with an asset, a memory operable to store the information, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The information comprises a header describing the information, business application data, and asset identification data uniquely identifying the asset. The processor is configured to extract the business application data from the information scanned from the communication tag and extract the asset identification data from the information scanned from the communication tag.

Discovery of asset information through scanning of communication tags associated with assets

A first input, a first function and a corresponding first output type of a first test of programming code are stored. The first output type results from execution of the first function with the first input for the first test of programming code. It is determined whether a second input type for a second test of programming code matches the first output type stored in the data source. If the second input type matches the first output type, the first function is executed with the first input so that the second test is performed using an output of the first function as the second input.

A computer program products are disclosed that include computer readable program code embodied in a computer readable storage medium. The computer readable program code communicates with a plurality of nodes to determine network addresses of application resources of the plurality of nodes and capabilities of the application resources. The computer readable program code associates application keys to the network addresses, and communicates one of the application keys and associated application resource capability to a client application. The computer readable program code receives a communication from the client application containing the one of the application keys, translates the one of the application keys to an associated one of the network addresses, and forwards the communication to the application resource having the associated one of the network addresses.

Managing communications between client applications and application resources of on-premises and cloud computing nodes

Methods and computer program products provide digital signatures for documents. An authentication code relating to a document is received. The authentication code is decoded to identify a unique identifier for the document, an identifier for an authentication server, and a user authentication parameter. A user characteristic that is defined by the user authentication parameter is obtained to serve as a digital signature for the document. A digital signature storage request is communicated to the authentication server using the identifier for the authentication server. The digital signature storage request contains the unique identifier for the document and the user characteristic obtained by the mobile terminal, and indicates that the authentication server is to store the user characteristic with an association to the unique identifier for the document.

User characteristic based digital signature of documents

A class level of an email is determined responsive to defined rules for email classification. Client access to the email is then controlled responsive to the class level. One of a plurality of client authentication modes may be selected for authentication of the client responsive to the class level. The class level of the email may be determined responsive to an operational use of the email, a known keyword being present in content of the email, a source address of the email, a number of destination addresses of the email, an addressed resource of a user selectable link that is contained in a body of the email, characteristics of earlier email that the client deleted without reading, and/or various other rules.
