In an embodiment, an inmate of the controlled environment can view communication statuses of external individuals. The presence management system informs the inmate of the availability of the external individuals and facilitates communications between the inmates and external individuals.

Abstract: A method enables communication between Session Management Function (SMF) and User Plane Function (UPF) instances which are separately deployed behind Network Address Translation (NAT) services. The method includes configuring an SMF or a UPF to initiate an association with a corresponding UPF or SMF. The SMF registers first information with a Network Repository Function (NRF) enabling the remote UPF to communicate with the SMF through a NAT service. The method further includes obtaining second information from the NRF enabling the SMF to communicate with the remote UPF through the NAT service. The method also includes sending an association request to the remote UPF based on the second information and receiving an association response from the remote UPF through the NAT service.

Abstract: A resource tag service of a provider network may be used to protect integration between resources of different services by generating dependency tags. When a service receives, from a client, a request for a resource of the service to use another resource of another service, a dependency tag is generated by the resource tag service. The dependency tag indicates that the resource depends on the other resource (e.g., the resources are integrated). When the other service receives, from the client, a request to delete or modify the other resource, the deletion or modification of the other resource is prevented based on the existence of the dependency tag for the other resource (e.g., the dependency tag is attached to the other resource, indicating that the other resource of the other service is integrated with the resource of the service).

The controller includes a response calculation unit that calculates an operator response value from a response value of the monitored apparatus which is retained in an apparatus information database (DB) according to a monitoring policy retained in a monitoring policy DB.

Abstract: A data rate management system that provides quality of service at the fine granularity of applications in the home network and home automation environment is provided. An application can be associated with a dynamic traffic flow, a physical port, a logical interface, or a host computer or device. Virtual queueing is applied to isolate and protect individual applications. Comprehensive rate management algorithms are developed to offer the bandwidth guarantee for the applications individually. The data rate management system includes a traffic classifier, virtual queueing, and a rate manager. The traffic classifier can statically or dynamically identify an application. The identified application is stored in a dedicated virtual queue. The rate manager schedules the packet transmission among virtual queues using the application-based traffic profiles.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to automated notification generation, where a generated notification comprises a live representation of a content update that is linked and synchronized with a distributed collaborative canvas (or other source content) comprising the content portion which is being updated. A non-limiting example of a content update is a message notification, such as an at-mention (@mention), that is included inline within a content portion. Other triggers for automated notification generation are also described. Generation of an exemplary notification comprises a contextual relevance analysis that not only selects, for a recipient of the message notification, a specific host application/service endpoint to present the notification in but also determines how/what specific content to present inline within the selected host application/service endpoint.

Abstract: Systems and methods for social graph data analytics to determine the connectivity between nodes within a community are provided. A user may assign user connectivity values to other members of the community, or connectivity values may be automatically assigned from third parties or based on the frequency of interactions between members. Connectivity values may represent such factors as alignment, reputation, status, and/or influence within a social graph of a network community, or the degree of trust. The paths connecting a first node to a second node may be retrieved, and social graph data analytics may be performed on the retrieved paths. Network connectivity values and/or other social graph data may be outputted to third-party processes and services for use in initiating automatic transactions or making automated network-based or real-world decisions.

Abstract: A data processing method includes determining whether or not it is possible to perform a new processing task within the new processing task's time limit if execution of one or more current processing tasks is continued based on the one or more current processing tasks' configurations. In case the new task's performing is determined not to be possible within the new task's time limit, resources are released from the current tasks so as to still enable performing the current tasks within their respective time limits.

Abstract: A computing system for monitoring, validating, and illustrating data transfer between computing devices in an enterprise computing system receives packet header information from network sensing modules. The computing system validates the records of the collected packet header information and discards erroneous records. The computing system corrects invalidly recorded information in the records. The computing system identifies records corresponding to unidirectional and bidirectional data transfer, generating a single data transfer record for a unidirectional data transfer and a pair of data transfer records for a bidirectional data transfer. The computing system stores the data transfer records in a standard data structure accessible at a user interface. The computing system generates a graphical directionality map for display at the user interface based on the input data transfer records to depict the data transfer relationships between computing devices.

Abstract: A datacenter has more computing power than a personal computer. The personal computer sends a request to perform an operation on a data set to the datacenter. The datacenter evaluates various inputs to determine if, despite the datacenter's computing power, the personal computer is likely to complete the operation faster. Based on the determination, the datacenter may perform the operation, send the data set to the personal computer for the personal computer to process, or start a competitive computation. As a result, a user interface can be more responsive. Machine learning processes can be used to improve predictions.
