An indication initiated by a user within a first local user application that specifies user-selected data sharable by the first local user application is received at an operating system of a first computing device used by the user. A determination is made as to whether any other user applications share data compatibility with at least one portion of the specified user-selected data. In response to determining that at least one other user application shares the data compatibility with the at least one portion of the specified user-selected data, a data share indication to the at least one other user application is configured.

User-specified user application data sharing

A location-reporting request is sent by a processor to at least one remote server. The location-reporting request (i) requests processing of data away from a geo-location-aware client device and (ii) includes an instruction that instructs any available server to respond with a reported geographic location. An asserted geographic location is received from a remote server available to process the data responsive to the instruction in the location-reporting request. In response to determining that the asserted geographic location of the available remote server satisfies location-based data processing restrictions that regulate remote processing of the data away from the geo-location-aware client device, the asserted geographic location is verified using a geo-location assertion server. In response to a successful verification of the asserted geographic location of the available remote server, the data is sent to the available remote server to process.

Location-enforced data management in complex multi-region computing

Methods and systems may provide for identifying a data service having a data locality constraint, determine whether capability data associated with the data service satisfies one or more deployment criteria of a cloud service and bind, if the capability data satisfies the one or more deployment criteria, the cloud service to the data service in accordance with the data locality constraint. In one example, the data service is identified based at least in part on a capability of the cloud service to be provisioned with a deployment location that complies with the data locality constraint.

Attachment of cloud services to big data services

Resources used by a plurality of applications that are located in system memory can be managed by monitoring usage statistics for the plurality of applications running on a hardware platform. Usage statistics for a particular application that are outside of a usage threshold profile can result in the creation of an on-demand profile that specifies a set of resources used by the particular application and a set of destination inputs mapped to the particular application. The destination inputs can be mapped to a management module. At least some of the resources of the set of resources used by the particular application can be released. Using the management module, an access to an input of the set of destination inputs can be detected. In response, resources of the set of resources can be allocated to the particular application.

System with on-demand state for applications

A computer-implemented method may include running the process on a first processing node. The process running on the first processing node initially operates on first data. The method may include monitoring the process to identify a first data node that provides the first data to the process. In addition, the method may include determining whether performance would likely be improved by transferring the process to a second processing node. The method may include transferring the process to the second processing node. Further, the method may include transferring a result of the process operating on the first data from the second processing node to the first processing node.

Process cage providing attraction to distributed storage

A location-reporting request is sent by a processor to at least one remote server. The location-reporting request requests processing of data away from a geo-location-aware client device and instructs any available server to respond with a reported geographic location. An asserted geographic location is received from a remote server available to process the data. A determination is made as to whether the asserted geographic location of the available remote server satisfies location-based data processing restrictions that regulate remote processing of the data away from the geo-location-aware client device. In response to determining that the asserted geographic location of the available remote server satisfies the location-based data processing restrictions, the asserted geographic location is verified using a geo-location assertion server. In response to a successful verification of the asserted geographic location of the available remote server, the data is sent to the available remote server to process.

Provided are techniques for the distribution and control of digital content such that Quality of Experience (QoE) is maintained. Content is protected from when the content is encrypted to when it is used. To ensure the QoE of particular content, a content owner embeds a list of required or preferred components that must be employed to render the content. The content owner's list of required or preferred components specifies specific components 'trusted' to correctly process the content. The specified chain of preferred components is compared to possible devices in the system that processes the content. If there are multiple acceptable devices for a specific link, a preference system is employed to determine the device that executed the particular part of the chain. The preference system is based upon a number of factors, such as, but not limited to, performance characteristics, user preferences, expected stability, power requirements and system preferences.

Content protection continuity through authorized chains of components

Methods and systems may provide for identifying a web application having a primary resource that references a secondary resource, wherein the primary resource contains a version identifier of the primary resource and a version identifier of the secondary resource. Additionally, a cached version of the primary resource and a cached version of the secondary resource may be created on a mobile device, and the version identifier of the primary resource may be used to determine whether the secondary resource is stale. In one example, it may be determined that staleness checking has been disabled in the secondary resource. Moreover, if the primary resource does not contain the version identifiers, cloud caching may be used.

Fast mobile web applications using cloud caching

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for facilitating workflow control for a document. In one embodiment, a portion of computer program source code is associated with a workflow. The computer program is monitored for reference to or by the portion of the computer program source code. In response to a reference to or by the computer program source code, the workflow is fired off.
