Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for facilitating deployment of a decision service for sharing application data among multiple isolated applications executing on one or more application platforms. In an implementation, a method of deploying applications conforming to a platform schema for facilitating sharing of the application data among isolated applications executing on one or more application platforms is described. The method includes receiving a request to submit a third party application to an application deployment system, identifying a validation manifest associated with a platform schema responsive to receiving the request, and automatically verifying that the third party application to conforms to the platform schema by performing a set of pre-defined validation checks. The request identifies the platform schema and platform capability information associated with the third party application. The validation manifest includes the set of pre-defined validation checks.

Techniques for rendering shared data include receiving, from a data store by a computing device, data indicative of a persistent data object. The persistent data object is associated with a class indicative of a data type for information contained in the persistent data object. The persistent data object is operable to be inserted in a file generated by an application executing on the computing device. The visualization logic associated with the class may be received by the computing device. The information in the persistent data object is rendered using the selected method of visualization, and other information in the document is rendered using native rendering capabilities of the application.

Visualization platform for reusable data chunks

Techniques for managing data include receiving, at a data store, a persistent data object generated by a source application, the object configured to be compatible with a plurality of applications and document types. The object is associated with a unique identifier. In response to a request for the object, the object is accessed based on its unique identifier and sent to a computing device executing a destination application. The object is incorporated by and is compatible with a destination document being edited by the destination application. An update to the object is received that is generated by a user application editing a user document. In response to receiving an indication that the object has been inserted in the destination document, the update is sent by the data store to the destination computing device and is usable to update the object as incorporated in the destination document.

Data re-use across documents

Provided are methods and systems for the licensing of services associated with IoT devices that are under rental by users and/or that are shared between users. A comprehensive user-based licensing system connects services, users, and IoT devices with respect to licensing based on the particular context in which a device is being rented, one or more capabilities of the device being rented, availability of services for the particular device, and/or one or more characteristics of the user who is renting the device. The licensing system enables a user who is renting an IoT device to purchase one or more services associated with the device in conjunction with the rental.

User-based licensing system for IoT device rentals

An increasing number of bots become available each day that perform automated tasks over the Internet to help facilitate a variety of service requests for a user. Thus, embodiments are directed to an orchestration service configured to perform bot network orchestration in order to provide enriched responses to service requests and/or in order to find one accurate answer among large numbers of bot responses to a specific query. For example, a service request for a user that involves at least one service provider may be received. A plurality of bots to orchestrate a processing of the service request may be determined. Instructions may be provided to the bots associated with aspects of the service request, where each bot is selected based on an aspect of the service request. Responses received from the bots may be integrated into a service response and provided to a requestor of the service request.

Bot network orchestration to provide enriched service request responses

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for facilitating dynamic sharing of application data among multiple isolated applications executing on one or more application platforms. In an implementation, a method of operating an application platform executing an application to consume application data generated by other applications executing on one or more application platforms is disclosed. The method includes receiving an instruction to invoke the application in a runtime environment. The instruction is generated by a data sharing and decision service platform based on one or more application data feeds provided by the other applications registered with the data sharing platform. The method further includes processing the instruction to automatically invoke the application in the runtime environment and, once the application is invoked, directing the party application to perform the action.

Methods and systems for assigning a parking space to a vehicle. One system includes a database storing parking space data for a plurality of parking spaces in a parking lot and a server including an electronic processor. The electronic processor receives a request for a parking space assignment for the vehicle, determines a vehicle identifier for the vehicle, and determines at least one selected from a group consisting of a driver preference for a driver of the vehicle and a preference for the parking lot. The electronic processor also generates a plurality of available parking space identifiers from the parking space data, selects, from the plurality of available parking space identifiers, the parking space assignment for the vehicle based on the vehicle identifier and at least one selected from a group consisting of the driver preference and the preference of the parking lot, and transmits the parking space assignment.

Deployment of applications confirming to application data sharing and decision service platform schema

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for facilitating dynamic sharing of application data among multiple isolated applications executing on one or more application platforms. In an implementation, a decision service monitors event configuration information corresponding to an event, monitors application data feeds provided by one or more producer applications associated with the event, detects an event reconfiguration trigger based on the one or more application data feeds, and responsive to the event reconfiguration trigger, automatically modifies the event configuration information. The decision service then directs at least on application platforms to invoke at least one data consumer application for execution of at least one actions based, at least in part, on the modified event configuration information.

Application data sharing and decision service platform

A sensor comprising a substrate () having a first surface () and a second surface () is described. The first surface has at least one sensor site () provided thereon. The substrate is configured such that on excitation of a sample provided at the sensor site, luminescence originating from the sensor site propagates into the substrate, the second surface of the substrate being configured to selectively transmit the luminescence propagating within the substrates at angles greater than the critical angle out of the substrate where it may be detected by a detector () provided below the substrate.

Luminescence based sensor

The present application provides a system () that comprises a mobile phone () to allow testing of samples from a patient at the point of care or environmental/industrial process monitoring tests to be performed in the field. The system () may be easily adapted for use with a variety of different mobile phones (). The mobile phone () comprises an integrated camera (). The system () further comprises an optical module () for receiving a sample for testing. The mobile phone () is configured to extract the intensity and/or color information from the camera ().
