A method of provisioning a system includes defining one or more virtual peripherals such that each of the virtual peripherals corresponds to a respective device; identifying one or more enabled virtual peripherals; and identifying one or more control modules. Each of the control modules includes one or more terminals for connecting to one or more devices. The method further includes linking each of the enabled virtual peripherals to a respective terminal of the one or more control modules to form a link; generating a provisioning configuration that represents the link between the respective terminal and the corresponding one of the enabled virtual peripherals; and writing the provisioning configuration to each of the control modules. The method further includes connecting the respective device to the respective terminal consistent with the link between the respective terminal and the corresponding one of the enabled virtual peripherals.

An information processing system provides combined information in which a description file defining an operation procedure and a reproduction application configured to reproduce the description file are combined, as a combined application to be executed by an image processing apparatus. The information processing system includes one or more control circuits each having a processor and a memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to function as an acquisition unit, an output unit, a reception unit, and a generation unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire definition information from the reproduction application. The output unit is configured to output screen information to a display based on the definition information. The reception unit is configured to receive an edit instruction corresponding to the screen information. The generation unit is configured to generate the description file corresponding to the reproduction application, based on the edit instruction.

Techniques for implementing a dynamic API bot for robotic process automation are disclosed. In some embodiments, a computer system performs operations comprising: providing a data file having a predefined template comprising dedicated fields for an identification of an API, a type of call method, metadata identifying one or more objects, and data of the object(s); providing a low-code no-code (LCNC) development platform configured to enable a user to develop a bot by dragging and dropping application components of the bot; receiving, via the LCNC development platform, a configuration of the bot comprising a configuration of the application components of the bot and an identification of the data file; and running the bot, the bot being configured to generate a request using the data file, converting the data of the object(s) into a payload in a format required by the API based on the data file.

A method of data transformation for acceleration of context migration includes monitoring user actions in a source code development environment using fragment-based source code documents are monitored. A content of each fragment of the source code document is determined. A sequence of execution of the fragments is determined. A status of a project captured by the source code development environment is determined. A fidelity of the data to be transformed to a new execution environment is determined. Upon determining that a new execution environment is warranted based on the determined fidelity, the new execution environment is determined. The one or more fragments are then executed in the new execution environment.

Methods are described herein for creating and installing software updates which may be rolled back, without requiring large processing capabilities and/or large storage capacity at a device. Delta software updates are determined comprising differences, on a bit-level, between a first version of the software and a second, updated, version of the software, and metadata defining how to apply the differences. Methods of performing a rollback-capable update at a device are also described herein.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing object-oriented infrastructure-as-code platform (“OOIACP”) and its functionalities. In various embodiments, an OOIACP may receive a request to perform a function from a requesting device. The OOIACP includes a declarative configuration language (“DCL”)-based infrastructure-as-code (“IAC”) software tool that provides structure and data functionalities and a wrapper tool that provides algorithm and sequence functionalities to the IAC software tool to convert the IAC software tool into an object-oriented programming (“OOP”)-based IAC system. The OOIACP uses a run command to perform the requested function, by identifying classes within a class hierarchy associated with the requested function, and initiating a set of procedures in each identified class. Each class and subclass within the class hierarchy has one or more predefined class behaviors, and each subclass inherits class behaviors of classes to which it belongs and of any intermediate subclasses.
