Embodiments of the claimed subject matter are directed to methods and a system that allows an application comprising a single code set under the COBOL Programming Language to execute in multiple platforms on the same multi-platform system (such as a mainframe). In one embodiment, a single code set is pre-compiled to determine specific portions of the code set compatible with the host (or prospective) platform. Once the code set has been pre-compiled to determine compatible portions, those portions may be compiled and executed in the host platform. According to these embodiments, an application may be executed from a single code set that is compatible with multiple platforms, thereby potentially reducing the complexity of developing the application for multiple platforms.

An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores an application having a WebView function, and an operating system supporting a programming language other than a specific programming language. The processor, when being executed, communicates with a server that provides an application programming interface (API) that is based on the specific programming language, and reads native implementation of the application in response to receiving a response from the API.

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for an FPGA architecture that may improve processing speed and efficiency in processing less complex operands. Some applications may utilize operands that are less complex, such as operands that are 1, 2, or 4 bits, for example. In some examples, the DSP architecture may skip or avoid processing all received operands or may process a common operand more frequently than other operands. An example apparatus may include a first configurable logic unit configured to receive a first operand and a second operand; a second configurable logic unit configured to receive a third operand and the first calculated operand; a first switch configured to receive the first operand and a fourth operand and to output a first selected operand; and a second switch configured to receive the second calculated operand and the first selected operand.

Workflows can be refactored using a visual workflow model, such as within a virtual programming environment. A selection of a group of activities in an existing workflow can be received. The group of activities can be duplicated into a new workflow. Thereafter, the group of activities can be parsed to identify at least one input variable used by the activities of the group and at least one output variable resulting from those activities. The input variables and output variables are then duplicated as inputs and outputs to the new workflow. The previously selected group of activities can be replaced in the existing workflow with an activity based on the new workflow. The input variables and output variables are then mapped to the respective inputs and outputs of that activity.

Disclosed is a programming model utilized for the definition of services to be operated on large sets of data with numerous responsibilities, the programming model comprising program units in a tree topology for high performance and implicit concurrency control, where each program unit definition comprises responsibilities defined in behaviors and configurations. A runtime environment may be utilized to provide implicit concurrency, parallelization, and concurrency control for operations executed on program unit instances.

A system may determine one or more data sources which the system is configured to access. The system may provide a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) for interacting with data stored in one or more data sources. The APIs may be accessible to one or more web applications which the system is configured to serve. The system may determine that a web application has requested an operation for interacting with the data through one or more APIs in the set of APIs. The system may determine one or more responses based at least in part on the operation requested by the web application. The system may provide the response(s) to the web application.

A method and system for generating a transaction for a blockchain protocol are disclosed. The method comprises using a software resource to receive, generate, or derive at least one data item, insert, at least once, a portion of code into a script associated with the transaction, where the script is written in a language that is functionally restricted. Upon execution of the script, the portion of code provides functionality of a control flow mechanism controlled or influenced by the at least one data item. The method further comprises using the software resource to generate the blockchain transaction comprising the script and submit the blockchain transaction to a blockchain network.

A method and system facilitates the development of data science transformations in one programming language and the deployment of the data science transformations in another programming language, according to one embodiment. The method and system preserves relationships, functions, configurations, and characteristics between combinations of data transformations, according to one embodiment. The preservation of the relationships, functions, configurations, and characteristics is enabled by developing and providing a set of low-level (e.g., atomic) transformations that enable users to build their own models, libraries, and configurations into macro-transformations (e.g., conglomerate transformations), according to one embodiment. Deploying the data science transformations into production computing environments is useful for providing or supporting a number of types of software services, such as, predicting user behavior, customizing user experiences, supporting marketing initiatives, providing empirically-backed recommendations, predicting user preferences for software interactions, and/or otherwise exposing patterns that are identified from historical and transactional data, according to one embodiment.

A computer-implemented system and method for creating, managing, and reusing schema type definitions in SOA services, grouped in the form of libraries are disclosed. The method in an example embodiment includes: grouping a plurality of Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) schema (XSD) types, each XSD type defined in an individual XSD file; using a processor to bundle the plurality of individual XSD types into a type library, the type library including a type information file to register the individual XSD types in the type library, the type library further including a type dependencies file to register dependencies between the individual XSD types in the same or different type library; importing types from a different type library, when defining derived types or aggregated types; generating Java artifacts from the XSD types; and associating the Java artifacts with corresponding XSD types in the type information file of the type library.

Language interoperability between source code programs not compatible with an interprocedural static code analyzer is achieved through language-independent representations of the programs. The source code programs are transformed into respective intermediate language instructions from which a language-independent control flow graph and a language-independent type environment is created. A program compatible with the interprocedural static code analyzer is generated from the language-independent control flow graph and the language-independent type environment in order to utilize the interprocedural static code analyzer to detect memory safety faults.
