Abstract: A method of predicting the evolution of simulation results for an Internet of Things (IoT) network by creating a source digital twin for the IoT network, driven by real-time sensed data from objects fed to models of the objects interconnected as object nodes in a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with the interconnections representing flow of data, the source digital twin outputting a state of one or more of the objects in real time; creating a clone digital twin of the source digital twin; connecting input of the clone digital twin with output of the source digital twin via a data stream synthesizer node, the data stream synthesizer node adds a time increment to the output of the source digital twin to drive the clone digital twin at the incremented time. The source digital twin and the clone digital twin are executed to indicate an evolved state of one or more of the objects at the incremented time as the output of the clone digital twin.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) system for guiding a user interaction in a phone call or chat session. The system includes a computer running an AI algorithm, such as a machine learning algorithm, which is trained to recognize patterns in user interaction dialog which lead to satisfactory outcomes for the user. The system may operate in a completely autonomous mode, or the system connect a human agent in the loop. The algorithm adaptively guides the dialog to achieve a favorable outcome based on the current status of the dialog—including identifying a next question to ask, information to provide, or an action to take. The algorithm is trained via supervised learning using real dialog transcriptions from past user interactions which have been supplemented with decision points and outcomes. After deployment, update training may be performed on the algorithm using data captured by the system after the user interactions.

Abstract: Techniques for managing namespaces in a multi-cluster management (MCM) system to facilitate multi-cluster application development are provided. In one set of embodiments, a computer system executing the MCM system can create a workspace for an application being developed by a software development team of an organization, where the workspace is a logical grouping of namespaces on which the application has been or will be deployed, and where at least a subset of the namespaces can belong to different clusters of the organization. The computer system can then assign a member of the development team as a workspace administrator of the workspace, thereby enabling that development team member to perform management tasks on the workspace and its member namespaces via the MCM system (e.g., creating and adding namespaces to the workspace, setting access/image/network policies on the workspace, etc.), without help from the organization's IT staff.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented systems and processes that dynamically and selectively modify portions of a displayed interface to include interface elements that, when selected by a user through a single provided input, initiate a performance of a data exchange in accordance with parameter values consistent with prior initiated data exchanges. For example, a communications device may display, on a display unit, a first interface element representative of a first data exchange and may receive expected values of parameters that characterize the second data exchange. When a determined parameter value is consistent with the expected parameter values, the communications device may modify the first interface element and present, on the display unit, the modified first interface element and a second interface element within the interface.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for peer to peer discovery of remote applications are presented. A client device may discover available remote peers and remotely access applications hosted thereon. The client device may send a discovery message over a network and locate one or more peer devices with available remote access. The peer device may respond with a list including applications installed and currently executing application instances that the client device may remotely access. The peer device may dynamically generate the list based on analyzing applications installed on the peer device and application instances executing on the peer device. The client device may initiate remote access of a selected application hosted on the peer device. The peer device may execute the selected application in a remote mode by hooking input and output interfaces associated with the application, and the application may be executed in a shadow desktop environment.
