Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for automatic generation and distribution of curbside map data. A server receives municipal regulation data from an external source, and processes the municipal regulation data to generate curbside map data. The server also transmits a message conveying at least a portion (e.g. relevant portion based on request) of the curbside map data to a client computing device. By obtaining and processing the municipal regulation data, the curbside map data can be generated and distributed without time consuming and error prone disadvantages of manual surveying.

Abstract: In an approach for dynamically adjusting parallel reality (PR) displays, a processor configures a viewing event. A processor receives data from data collecting devices located throughout a location of the viewing event. A processor classifies a crowd of the viewing event into at least two partitions using a learning-based neural network that ingests the data. A processor selects content to be displayed to each of the at least two partitions. A processor enables a PR display to simultaneously display the content to each of the at least two partitions.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for improved wireless terminal roaming. In some embodiments, a management module determines access point density metrics for a plurality of centrally managed access points of a communications site. The density metric considers an average RSSI of access point signals received by other access points of the site, and each access point's contribution to the average. A determination of whether a particular wireless terminal roams is based on the density metrics of the source and target access point, as well as statistics relating to a current capacity of each of the access points. The disclosed embodiments may determine that a wireless terminal should transition/roam away from an access point even when that access point's RSSI value at the wireless terminal is above a threshold that would cause traditional methods to inhibit roaming.

Abstract: A network management system (NMS) is described that provides a granular troubleshooting workflow at an application session level using an application session-specific topology from a client device to a cloud-based application server. During an application session of a cloud-based application, a client device running the application exchanges data through one or more access point (AP) devices, one or more switches at a wired network edge, and one or more network nodes, e.g., switches, routers, and/or gateway devices, to reach a cloud-based application server. For a particular application session, the NMS generates a topology based on network data received from a subset of network devices, e.g., client devices, AP devices, switches, routers, and/or gateways, that were involved in the particular application session over a duration of the particular application session. In this way, the NMS enables backward-looking troubleshooting of the particular application session.

Abstract: A method for testing a system under test (SUT) in an active environment to identify cause of a soft failure includes recording a first difference vector by executing a set of test cases on a baseline system and monitoring performance parameters of the baseline system before and after executing the test cases.

The method further includes, similarly, recording a second difference vector by executing the test cases on the SUT and monitoring performance parameters of the SUT before and after executing the test cases. The method further includes identifying an outlier performance record from the second difference vector by comparing the difference vectors and further, determining a root cause of the soft failure by analyzing a test case corresponding to the outlier.
