Abstract: Techniques for providing visualizations of changes in characteristics of a cloud-based network of resources over a period of time are described herein. The techniques may include obtaining data from a cloud-service provider representing changes in the characteristics of cloud-based resources for the period of time. Thereafter, a cloud management platform may transform the data by employing algorithms of an intermediate model to create a description of a visualization of the changes in the characteristics of the cloud-based network of resources. In some instances, the intermediate model may use one or more parameters included in a request from a client device to create the description of the visualization. The intermediate model may be used to provide the description of the visualization of the changes in the characteristics of the cloud-based network of resources over the period of time to be presented on a display of the client device.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment providing one or more improvements includes determining a measurable characteristic of electrical activity in a user's brain and using the measurable characteristic to determine a present time emotional state of the user.
