Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing an aggregate key performance indicator (KPI) that spans multiple services and for receiving user adjustment to KPI factors to configure an aggregate KPI (e.g., heath score). The techniques may enable a user to select KPIs and to adjust weights (e.g., importance) associated with the KPIs. The weight of a KPI may affect the influence a value of the KPI has on the calculation of an aggregate KPI value. The techniques may also include the ability to create a correlation search using the selected KPIs and weights so that a notification may be generated when the aggregate KPI value exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein allow multiple actors to cooperatively establish a common pool of funds to be dynamically applied to purchasing online advertising keywords associated with ad units. Participants of the portfolio of advertising keywords and associated ad units may contribute a desired amount, and receive a proportionate amount of traffic, which may be automatically controlled so that output traffic is proportionate. Participants may also contribute to a common pool of funds, and the systems and methods may automatically determine an equitable amount of money each participant should be charged, based on the amount visitor output is driven to the respective participants.

Abstract: A method and system generates a model of a geographic area for use in identifying locations of the geographic area. A set of variably sized tiles is defined for each of a set of overlapping geometries in the geographic area. Each of the variably sized tiles is defined by a geohash, where the size of the tile is dependent on a granularity of the geohash. A geocode trie structure representing the variably sized tiles can be constructed and used to map one or more provided location coordinates to at least one of the geometries represented by the tiles.

Such identifiers allow systems to cache and reuse individual records of aggregate data. Also, such identifiers can facilitate simpler analytic views of aggregate data.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to a dynamic, flexible acronym decoder. A user may submit a query via one of a plurality of user interfaces. Information describing the user may be received to generate a context vector for the user. The query may be processed against a database of terms using the context vector, a machine learning model, and content tags applied to terms in the database. Processing the queries against the database may return a result set, and the ML model may be used to compute a score for each result. The results may be ordered based on the scores and returned as responsive to the query.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product derive data schema for application to a data set. One or more processors generate a directed acyclic weighted graph that encodes data types and semantic types used by a data set. One or more processors assign estimated frequencies for each component of the directed acyclic weighted graph, where the estimated frequencies predict a likelihood of a particular data schema element being used by any data set. One or more processors traverse through paths in the directed acyclic weighted graph with a predetermined portion of the data set to determine a data schema that correctly defines data from the data set and identifies any errors in the data set, and then apply the data schema to the data set to generate clean data that is properly formatted.

Abstract: A controller for controlling the processing of a data stream by a data stream processing system having a plurality of data stream management systems, DSMSs. Each DSMS is arranged to execute a respective continuous query to generate an output data stream having continuous query execution results. The controller controls the execution of the continuous query on a windowed portion of a data stream when different DSMSs receive different parts of the data for the windowed portion. The controller selects, for processing of the windowed portion of the data stream, a single DSMS that is to execute the respective continuous query. The controller generates a control signal to cause only the selected DSMS to execute the continuous query using data in the data stream received thereby, so that the continuous query is executed on data in the windowed portion of the data stream only by the selected DSMS.

Abstract: In various embodiments a distributed computing node in a plurality of distributed computing nodes executes transactions in a distributed processing system. In one embodiment, a transaction commit message is received from a client computing node for a transaction. The transaction commit message includes at least an identifier of the transaction and a transaction sequence for the transaction. The transaction sequence indicates a sequence of execution for the transaction on the plurality of distributed computing nodes. An entry within the transaction sequence associated with the distributed computing node is identified. The entry includes a sequence number for executing the transaction on the distributed computing node with respect to other transactions. The transaction is executed based on the sequence number in the entry.

Abstract: Database clients submit junction data (such as invitees to a meeting or other event) at the same time that a new database entity is created. Junction data may be represented within a string array or other data structure that can be delivered using a SOAP, REST or similar protocol for delivering data to the computing server platform. By submitting junction data within the same structure that is used to create the new entity, the likelihood of phantom data or other corruption in the database is greatly reduced.

Abstract: The current document is directed to a virtual-log-file system that provides a browser-like display interface to users, enabling users to view the contents of log files. The virtual-log-file system assembles a virtual log file from the contents of one or more physical log files, applying filters and other processing to physical-log-file entries in order to generate the virtual-log-file entries logically contained within the virtual log file. The virtual-log-file system allows users to navigate, by scrolling, through the entries of the virtual log file, with additional virtual-log-file entries obtained from physical log files by the virtual-log-file system to support logical infinite scrolling in either direction.

Abstract: A filesystem includes a pool of data blocks and a pool of index blocks. Non-overlapping subpools of data blocks, including a first subpool of data blocks and a second subpool of data blocks, are identified within the pool of data blocks. Likewise, non-overlapping subpools of index blocks, including a first subpool of index blocks and a second subpool of index blocks, are identified within the pool of index blocks. A first file group is mounted within a global namespace on a first mount point on the filesystem. A second file group is also mounted within the global namespace on a second mount point on the filesystem. The first subpool of data blocks and the first subpool of index blocks are allocated to the first mounted file group, and the second subpool of data blocks and the second subpool of index blocks are allocated to the second mounted file group.

Abstract: Techniques for populating a new synchronization (“sync”) folder during an upgrade of a sync client of a cloud-based platform includes transferring synced items stored at a first location to an archive location in response to an indication to upgrade the sync client, detecting an instruction to populate the new sync folder at a second location with an item, determining that the synchronization client is in migration mode and transferring a local copy of the item from the archive location to the new sync folder to populate the new sync folder at the second location when the local copy of the item has the same state as a remote copy of the item at the cloud-based platform. Also disclosed are techniques for accommodating autoupdate operations, monitoring performance of sync operations and providing a tray icon that provides a high level overview of the state of a sync operation.
