Filed:

Aug 5, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/535698

Inventors:

Roger S. Barga - Bellevue WA, US
Jared J. Jackson - Sammamish WA, US
Di Guo - Redmond WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224, 709203, 709231, 709246

Abstract:

Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to workflows. In aspects, an activity of a workflow may request data and provide a logical handle. In response, distributed workflow components use the logical handle to determine whether the requested data is available locally or remotely. If the data is available remotely, the components may obtain the data for the requesting entity. In the process of obtaining the data, the data may be serialized and deserialized. After the data is available locally, it is provided to the requesting entity.

Abstract:

A computer may function as a broker that brokers execution of portions of a workflow. The broker computer may have a processor and memory configured to receive the workflow via a network. The workflow may have a corresponding SLA document that has rules governing how the workflow is to be executed. The broker computer may identify discretely executable sub-workflows of the workflow. The broker computer may also obtain information describing computing characteristics of each of a plurality of service providers (e.g., computation clusters, cloud services, etc.) connected with the broker computer via the network. The broker computer may select a set of the service providers by determining whether their respective computing characteristics satisfy the SLA. The broker computer may pass the discretely executable sub-workflows to the selected set of service providers. The workflow is thus executed, in distributed federated fashion, transparently to the user submitting the workflow.

Abstract:

A method and system for remotely navigating a display of a target computing device using a screen of a source computing device are provided herein. The method includes detecting a source input on the screen, determining the positions of a number of navigation jump points on the screen, and determining whether the source input is associated with a navigation jump point. If the source input is not associated with a navigation jump point, relative pixel mapping is performed to translate the source input into a corresponding target input on the display. Alternatively, if the source input is associated with a navigation jump point, absolute pixel mapping is performed to translate the source input into a corresponding target input on the display, and relative pixel mapping is performed to translate any continuation of the source input into a corresponding continuation of the target input.
