Abstract: A method for network traffic characterization is provided. Flow data records are acquired associated with a security alert signature. Unidimensional traffic clusters are generated based on the acquired data. A Bloom filter is populated with the acquired flow data records. Clusters of interest are identified from the generated unidimensional traffic clusters. The identified clusters of interest are compressed into a compressed set. A determination is made whether a multidimensional processing of the acquired flow data needs to be performed based on a priority associated with the alert signature. A multidimensional lattice corresponding to the unidimensional traffic clusters is generated. The multidimensional lattice is traversed and for each multidimensional node under consideration a determination is made if the Bloom filter contains flow records matching the multidimensional node under consideration.

Abstract: Digital content encoded in a media file format may be presented by accessing the media file, reading parameters that describe the content, and processing the media file using the encoded parameters to “play” or generate output. Although the media file format may have multiple optional extensions, the media file generally includes one or more frames. Each frame may include a synchronized frame with the synchronized frame having a synchronized header, a video format indicator, an audio format indicator, a width indicator, a height indicator, a frame rate index, and a payload. Although the digital content may include different types and formats, the parameters used in the media file may be used to describe the digital content so that it may be processed independent of the underlying algorithm used. For example, multiple channels of audio signals may be described.

Abstract: A method and system for tracking activities relating to a common transaction executed across multiple services of a distributed computing environment. An aggregator receives intra-service activity information from collectors associated with a first service and a second service of the distributed computing environment. The aggregator identifies a first inter-service communication correlation linking the intra-service activity information of the first service to a first inter-service message. The aggregator further identifies a second inter-service communication correlation linking the intra-service activity information of the second service to the second inter-service message. The aggregator identifies an inter-service communication correlation linking the first inter-service message with the second inter-service message and associates the intra-service activity of the first service with the intra-service activity of the second service using the inter-service communication correlation.

Abstract: An enhanced mechanism for conflict resolution between authorized services in respect of selective authorization criteria, such as service incompatibilities, subscribed bandwidth QoS assigned per subscriber and pre-emption priority value assigned per service. The present invention allows the authorization of a subsequent service as a result of applying a selective authorization criterion for the subscriber at a policy control rules server to determine those previously authorized services to be put on hold, notifying about said previously authorized services to be on hold towards application devices handling such services, and inactivating at a policy enforcement device those control rules applicable to the media associated with said previously authorized services.

The destination information represents a destination to which a current push notification including the message should be sent. At least one of a push time and a message format are determined. The determination is based at least in part on push information associated with at least one previously sent push notification. The current push notification is sent to the destination in accordance with the determination.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing users with access to computer networks, such as to enable users to interact with a remote configurable network service in order to create and configure computer networks that are provided by the configurable network service for use by the users. Computer networks provided by the configurable network service may be configured to be private computer networks that are accessible only by the users who create them, and may each be created and configured by a client of the configurable network service to be an extension to an existing computer network of the client, such as a private computer network extension to an existing private computer network of the client. If so, secure private access between an existing computer network and new computer network extension that is being provided may be enabled using one or more VPN connections or other private access mechanisms.

Abstract: Asynchronous handoffs between threads and other software components may be automatically detected, and the corresponding working objects may be tracked. The system may report monitoring information for an overall transaction that includes the original request and corresponding asynchronous requests. Automatically detecting asynchronous requests may include instrumenting a virtual machine, such as a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), to detect the creation of thread handoff objects and the object and/or thread execution. Thread handoff objects may automatically tracked, tracked based on data learned over time, tracked based on user input, and otherwise configured. In some embodiments, after detecting the creation of a thread handoff object, an identification of the object of the call may be identified as being tracked in another server or application.

In one embodiment, a central system, which includes one or more servers, operates to obtain current locations for users of mobile devices and form crowds of three or more users based on the current locations of the users. In order to provide access to crowd data for crowds for a large geographic area, the central system receives a request for crowd data from a requesting device, establishes a bounding region for the request, and identifies one or more starting points within the bounding region for the request. Crowds are identified, crowd data for the crowds is generated, and the crowd data is returned to the requesting device in an iterative manner for a series of two or more outwardly radiating, concentric geographic regions centered at the one or more starting points.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for facilitating synchronizing of data between one or more servers and a mobile device. The mobile device can establish which servers comprise data that is to be synchronized, and inform the servers that a push notification gateway should be used to send notifications of a data state change. A connection can be opened between the mobile device and the push notification gateway so that when a data state change is detected by a server the server can send the notification to the gateway, which can forward it to the mobile device. The mobile device may then choose to initiate a data synchronization with the server. In this manner, an open connection is merely maintained between the mobile device and the gateway, as opposed to multiple resource intensive connections between the mobile device and multiple servers.

Abstract: A system for managing allocation of resources based on service level agreements between application owners and cloud operators. Under some service level agreements, the cloud operator may have responsibility for managing allocation of resources to the software application and may manage the allocation such that the software application executes within an agreed performance level. Operating a cloud computing platform according to such a service level agreement may alleviate for the application owners the complexities of managing allocation of resources and may provide greater flexibility to cloud operators in managing their cloud computing platforms.
