Abstract: Generally in a computing environment, executing work based on time (i.e. according to a predetermined schedule) is a common need. However, in cloud based systems, scheduled work may be expensive to customers as generally customers rent system resources. Thus, having a processor dedicated to performing actions that have been pre-scheduled can be expensive. This application describes using a continuation-based runtime for scheduling time-bound and/or periodic work in a distributed (i.e. cloud) system. A system architecture and computer-implemented method are described that deploy an environment-independent action to a remote-based system (such as a cloud computing system, for example). The action is limited to using a predetermined amount of resources and is limited to simple, non-cpu intensive orchestrations of network calls. A schedule is defined for the action, and the action is then called in a processor-independent fashion (for example, by using a continuation based runtime) such that state of the action is maintained independent of the processor on which the action is being executed.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for creating and manipulating custom compound data types in declarative programs. The present invention allows a developer to create and use custom compound data types without requiring the custom type to be specifically defined (e.g. via registering a custom assembly) in the underlying framework. This is accomplished by providing a data container that is configurable to represent virtually any combination of primitive or compound types defined within the framework. The present invention also provides a declarative model for interacting with data containers representing custom compound data types. This declarative model employs a path-based syntax (or other type of syntax) for accessing the elements of a custom compound data type. Multiple paths can be defined within a single unit of developer input so that multiple elements of a custom data type can be manipulated by the single unit of input.

Abstract: Scheduling a scheduled and optionally periodic action in a remote based system. The method includes deploying an environment independent action to a remote based system. The action is limited to using a predetermined amount of resources and is limited to simple, non-cpu intensive orchestrations of network calls. The method further includes defining a schedule for the action to be executed. Calling the action at the remote based system based on the schedule in a processor independent fashion such that state of the action is maintained independent of the processor that the action is being executed on.

Abstract: Scheduling and dispatching jobs for a plurality of different entities. A method includes receiving at a work coordinator, one or more actions associated with a job. The method further includes storing in a log at the work coordinator, keyed on a job key, state for the one or more actions and a list of the one or more actions. The method further includes making calls to one or more worker processes to cause the worker process to perform actions associated with the job. As a result of making calls to one or more worker processes, the method further includes receiving at least one of a change to the list of remaining actions or the state.

Abstract translation: 本发明扩展到用于在声明性程序中创建和操纵定制复合数据类型的方法，系统和计算机程序产品。 本发明允许开发者创建和使用自定义复合数据类型，而不需要在基础框架中具体定义定制类型（例如通过注册定制组件）。 这是通过提供可配置为实际表示框架内定义的原始或复合类型的任何组合的数据容器来实现的。 本发明还提供了用于与表示自定义复合数据类型的数据容器交互的声明性模型。 该声明式模型采用基于路径的语法（或其他类型的语法）来访问自定义复合数据类型的元素。 可以在单个开发者输入单元内定义多个路径，以便自定义数据类型的多个元素可以由单个输入单元进行操作。
