Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to the optimization of over-the-air (“OTA”) file distribution for connected cars based upon a heuristic scheduling algorithm. A schedule provided by the heuristic scheduling algorithm is designed to distribute OTA data flow to connected cars over the network (geographically) and over a scheduling time horizon (timely), and is capable of reducing the negative impact of OTA file updates on overall wireless network performance. This schedule is created based upon historical statistics associated with connected car driving patterns and simulations of connected car-specific OTA traffic over the network. By leveraging connected cars that connect to different cells at different times based upon driving patterns, the heuristic scheduling algorithm is effective in reducing OTA impact on the network.

Abstract: A social networking system identifies relationships between friends of a target user that are likely to be unexpected to the target user. To identify an unexpected relationship among a user's friends, the social networking system determines a measure of unexpectedness for pairs of connections of the target user and selects pairs of connections for presentation to the user based on the measure of unexpectedness. The measure of unexpectedness of a relationship between a pair of friends is inversely related to a number of connections between each of the pair of friends and the target user. Information describing the pair of unexpected friends may be presented to a target user along with content relating the two friends, such as photos in which both friends are tagged, events attended by the unexpected friends together, or places both unexpected friends checked-in at the same time.

The alteration may include moving to another folder, changing the appearance, deletion, and/or any other alteration that would reflect that the message is longer valid.

Abstract: A self-adaptive control system based on proportional-integral (PI) control theory for dynamic capacity management of latency-sensitive application servers (e.g., application servers associated with a social networking application) are disclosed. A centralized controller of the system can adapt to changes in request rates, changes in application and/or system behaviors, underlying hardware upgrades, etc., by scaling the capacity of a cluster up or down so that just the right amount of capacity is maintained at any time. The centralized controller uses information relating to a current state of the cluster and historical information relating to past state of the cluster to predict a future state of the cluster and use that prediction to determine whether to scale up or scale down the current capacity to reduce latency and maximize energy savings. A load balancing system can then distribute traffic among the servers in the cluster using any load balancing methods.
