Quantum entanglement protection is disclosed. An entanglement checker receives, from a requestor, a request associated with a first qubit. In response to receiving the request, the entanglement checker accesses qubit entanglement information that identifies an entanglement status of the first qubit. The entanglement checker determines, based on the qubit entanglement information, the entanglement status of the first qubit, and sends a response to the requestor based on the entanglement status.

Methods and systems are disclosed that automate and institutionalize many aspects of the process of creating software. Embodiments automate aspects of pricing, software creation, and delivery using a manufacturing-styled approach to development that reuses existing code and other existing software design features.

Described in detail herein are simulation systems for a production environment and related methods of use. In one exemplary system a routing application receives a request associated with one or more physical objects. Based on the request, the routing application retrieves one or more simulation profiles from a database and forwards the request and the simulation profiles to a first computing system. The first computing system hosts a simulation environment and simultaneously executes a simulation of the request for each simulation profile in the simulation environment. The first computing system generates resultant data in response to executing each simulation that may be used to alter a production application for a production environment.

An industrial IDE supports development of control programming using an industrial domain-specific language (DSL) that allows control programming to be written using a scripted programming language having features catered to the industrial domain. The industrial DSL can simplify and streamline development of industrial control code relative to using conventional graphics-based control programming formats such as ladder logic, since a script-based industrial DSL can be used to write programming code using fewer mouse clicks relative to traditional control programming environments. Editing tools inherent to the industrial DSL can provide dynamic programming feedback that guides the developer through the process of developing control code. The industrial IDE can also provide tools that extend the platform to users who wish to customize the industrial DSL to suit their preferred programming approaches.

To support adding functionality to applications at a layer of abstraction above language-specific implementations of AOP, a language for implementing AOP facilitates runtime monitoring and analysis of an application independent of the language of the application. Aspects can be created for applications written in any supported language. Program code underlying implementations of aspects can be executed based on detecting triggering events during execution of the application. Routines written with the AOP language comprise event-based aspect code triggers that indicate an event which may occur during execution of the application and the associated aspect code to be executed. An agent deployed to a runtime engine to monitor the application detects events and evaluates contextual information about the detected events against the aspect triggers to determine if aspect code should be executed to perform further monitoring and analysis of the executing application.

Techniques are provided for encapsulating a user experience design for user interfaces of an application, where the user experience design comprises a look and feel of the application and a plurality of functional elements of the application. A plurality of rules for implementing the one or more user interfaces may be defined, and the rules may be based at least in part on the user experience design. Additionally, a pattern may be generated based at least in part on the plurality of rules. The pattern may be deployed to a distributed network of computing devices, and reused in the design of multiple other applications. The new user interfaces for those applications may be generated based at least in part on the pattern, where the additional applications comply with the look and feel and the plurality of functional elements of the other applications that share the pattern.

A method and system for migrating Extensible Markup Language (XML) schemas between releases of a computing application. The method provides first and second versions of an XML document by the computing application, each version having a different schema. The first version is migrated to the second version using a migration step. The method uses a Dependency injection Framework to abstract the characteristics of the at least one migration step. The method also transforms the first schema to the second schema, based on the abstracted characteristics of the at least one migration step, in such a way that the first version of the XML document is migrated into the second version of the XML document. The method migrates the first version into the second version in such a way that the second version can access application data from the first version.

Techniques for generating plug-in application recipe (PIAR) extensions are disclosed. A PIAR management application discovers a particular data type within one or more data values for a particular field of a plug-in application, where the particular data type is (a) different from a data type of the particular field as reported by the plug-in application and (b) narrower than the data type of the particular field while complying with the data type of the particular field. The PIAR management application identifies one or more mappings between (a) the particular data type and (b) one or more data types for fields accepted by actions of plug-in applications. The PIAR management application presents a user interface including one or more candidate PIAR extensions based on the mapping(s). Based on a user selection of a candidate PAIR extension, the PIAR management application executes a PIAR that includes the selected PIAR extension.

A system for updating a monolithic application. The system includes an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive a new version of the monolithic application. The new version of the monolithic application includes a first set of computer readable instructions. The electronic processor is configured to create a new class that defines a previous version of the monolithic application. The previous version of the monolithic application includes a second set of computer readable instructions. The electronic processor is also configured to compile the monolithic application to combine the new version of the monolithic application and the previous version of the monolithic application into an executable file, receive a selection of a version of the monolithic application to execute, and execute computer executable instructions in the executable file corresponding to the received selection of a version of the monolithic application.

A method includes receiving an application, where the application includes an extension and a metadata model. The method also includes instantiating the extension and firing an event. The method also includes upon detecting the event at the instantiated extension, creating metadata associated with the application, collecting the metadata associated with the application, and revising the metadata model based on the collected metadata.
