Abstract: A system, apparatuses, and methods for enabling management of customizations/extensions to the functionality of a multi-tenant computing platform. In some embodiments, an extended or customized entity, such as a function, operation, process, module, sub-routine, data item, etc. is represented as a record. That record is then associated with an underlying record by means of a tenant specific mapping or equivalent structure. This enables the tenant to utilize the extended or customized entity in place of the underlying record in situations in which the underlying record would typically be used. This also provides a way of isolating the extensions or customizations on the multi-tenant platform so that they are associated with specific tenants and not with other tenants who may still access the underlying or un-extended versions of the entity.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for displaying an email conversation similar to an instant message format by integrating aspects of an email system with an instant messaging interface. In one aspect, messages may be sent over existing email channels using email protocols through email servers and an email system (e.g., email client and/or email server) may identify the messages as cross-platform messages (CPM) based on whether the message body includes either no or only predefined content, or the message includes a predefined unique identifier. If a message is identified as a CPM then the message is treated similar to an instant message and may be displayed in a threaded view. In some embodiments, messages having content in the body may be treated as conventional email messages.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing distributed audio playback and recording functionality according to certain embodiments. In such embodiments one or more client audio devices can be connected to a server computing device via a network connection, thereby providing distributed audio playback and recording functionality to the server computing device. For example, audio tracks may be recorded at the server computing device based on audio signals collected from one or more remotely-located smartphones. In certain embodiments a transmission control protocol (TCP) network connection is used to transmit audio signals between the server computing device and the one or more remotely located client audio devices, thereby eliminating the need to provide physical cable connections between the devices. Distributing audio data over a network connection also reduces compatibility issues between audio software used by the server computing device and audio hardware provided by the one or more client audio devices.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for balancing loads between two physical resources. During operation, for each physical resource, the system establishes resource-usage models for a plurality of jobs that share the physical resource, identifies quality-of-service (QoS) levels associated with the jobs, and computes a QoS balance point for the physical resource based on the resource-usage models and the QoS ratings. The QoS balance point indicates a rating of QoS, above which substantial resource provisioning is required. In response to detecting a difference between a first QoS balance point associated with a first physical resource and a second QoS balance point associated with a second physical resource, the system identifies one or more jobs to be moved between the first and second physical resources such that the difference between the first and the second QoS balance points is reduced.

Abstract: A method is described for transferring a converged IP messaging (CPM) service based message using a server. The server transmits one or more messages via a one-to-one session established between a first terminal of a first user and a second terminal of a second user. The server receives a first session initiation protocol (SIP) invite message for extending the one-to-one session to a group session from the first terminal of the first user. The server extracts and locally stores various headers and IDs from the received first SIP invite message, and at least part of session description protocol (SDP) attributes with media streams from the received first SIP invite message if the first SIP invite message includes SDP content describing the media streams. The server transmits a second SIP invite message to the second terminal of the second user, and receives a termination message for terminating the one-to-one session.
