Abstract: A digital conference system can include a digital conference manager that automatically selects a digital conference service based on one or more digital conference parameters. A digital conference agent can request a digital conference configuration from a policy manager 204 that is based on the one or more digital conference parameters. The policy manager 204 can send the selected digital conference configuration to the digital conference agent that sends the selected digital conference configuration or an identifier associated with a digital conference service associated with the digital conference configuration to a digital conference service manager. The digital conference service manager establishes a digital conference connection based on the digital conference service received from the digital conference agent.

Abstract: A method for locally serving content is described. The method includes receiving, at a gateway device, a first request for a data file via a first user device communicatively coupled to the gateway device. The data file is received at the gateway device from an external server and sent to the first user device. A data record is stored to a storage device indicating that the data file has been sent to the first user device. A second request for the data file is later received at the gateway device from a second user device communicatively coupled to the gateway device. In response to the receiving of the second request, the data record is accessed and causes a computer read of the data record. The first user device is then instructed to transfer the data file to the second user device, via the gateway device, based upon the computer read.

Abstract: Described are techniques for accelerating streaming analytics jobs, which may be used for generating dashboards. The disclosed techniques can reduce overhead, such as in the form of processor usage, network usage, or the like, due to duplicative or overlapping requests for streaming analytics data by implementing a caching process in which analytics data is evaluated to determine if it is likely to be requested multiple times or by multiple users, caching the analytics data, and serving future requests for the same analytics data from the cache instead of requiring separate analytics jobs for each request.

Abstract: In a method of query derivation in an observation platform a signal from a first communication device is received at a second communication device that is associated with a computer system. The computer system is associated with an organization and a first characteristic of the signal corresponds to an audible source. The signal is parsed, by the computer system according to a policy, to determine metadata associated with the signal, wherein the first communication device is operated by a user and wherein the policy dictates rules for use of the metadata. The computer system determines a prior user history of the user. The computer system converts the audible source of the signal to text or machine understandable language. The computer system derives a query related to the organization based on at least one of the prior user history, the metadata, and the text or machine understandable language.

Some of the techniques may include allocating a first amount of bandwidth of a physical underlay of a network for data flows associated with an application. The techniques may also include receiving, from a scalable application service hosting the application, an indication of an amount of computing resources of the scalable application service that are allocated to host the application. Based at least in part on the indications, a second amount of bandwidth of the physical underlay to allocate for the data flows may be determined. The techniques may also include allocating the second amount of bandwidth of the physical underlay of the network for the data flows associated with the application.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for performing steps to cause encoded information to be stored at a client device during a first network session between a server and the client device. To cause encoded information to be stored at a client device, the server first determines a set of network resource requests that encode the information. These network resource requests may include requests for one or more specific URLs and/or requests for one or more files. The server then causes the client device to initiate the network resource requests. The server may cause this initiation by, for example, redirecting the client device to the network resources. The client device initiating the network resource requests causes data representative of the network resource requests to be stored at the client device.
