Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to selection of cloud service providers in a multi-cloud. The selection of cloud service providers (CSPs) in a multi-cloud environment is challenging as it depends on multiple criteria such as security, usability, latency, and service cost. In an embodiment, for each CSP and multi-CSP combination, two decision problems are solved; namely, a VM selection problem and a cloud region selection problem, taking latency requirement and DR laws constraints into consideration. By solving the VM selection and CC selection problems, the service cost and the user to cloud region mapping are estimated. Using said estimates and other qualitative criteria, a multi-cloud multi-criteria decision problem is solved using MCDM techniques to rank the CSP combinations for each application. Based on the ranks and a constraint on a service cost of the entity one of a CSP and a CSP combination is selected for each application.

Abstract: Data is an asset to any organization and any breach to the data during task allocation to agents may lead to serious damage to organizations including loss of consumer confidence, trust, reputation, financial penalties and the like. Conventional methods mainly focus on the allocating task to agents based on user satisfaction, overall throughput and maximize revenue and less focus is given to data privacy. The present subject matter overcomes the limitations of the conventional methods for task allocation by utilizing a dynamic data exposure analysis method, which enables seamless upgrading of the data access policy and or control. Here, a data exposure is monitored based on a data exposure score, dynamic identification of conflicting tasks and a dynamic privacy budget. The data exposure score is calculated in two execution points. Finally all the values are updated in the system for utilization in the further privacy enabled task allocation.

Abstract: Single-click delta analysis is disclosed. A user query of status information collected from one or more monitored devices is received from a user. In response to receiving an indication from the user to determine a variance between different portions of the collected status information, a target query and a baseline query are generated using the user query. The generated target query and the generated baseline query are performed, respectively, against data in a data store including the status information collected from the one or more monitored devices. A target set of status information results and a baseline set of status information results are obtained in response to performing, respectively, the generated target query and the generated baseline query. The obtained target and baseline sets of results are combined. Output indicative of a variance between the target and baseline sets of status information results is provided based at least in part on the combining.

Abstract: Automatically generating a parser is disclosed. Raw data is received from a first remote device. A determination that the raw data does not, within a predefined confidence measure, conform to any rules included in a set of rules is made. A clustering function is performed on the raw data. At least one parser rule is generated based on the clustering.

Abstract: An individual session border controller in a cluster of SBCs, e.g., in a Cloud, sends a resource utilization reporting message to the current master resource manager for the cluster. In response to the received utilization reporting message from the individual SBC, the master resource manager determines a mode of operation, e.g. one of: normal, critical or overshoot, for the cluster and a resource allocation for the SBC, the resource allocation method used being different for at least two different modes. The master resource manager communicates the determined cluster mode and the determined resource allocation to the individual SBC, e.g., in a response message. The SBC controls its resource utilization reporting rate as a function of the mode. In at least one mode, e.g., normal mode, the SBC is allowed to use more resources, e.g., X % more, than the amount of resources allocated to the SBC by the master resource manager.

Abstract: A session table includes one or more records, where each record represents a session. Session record information is stored in various fields, such as key fields, value fields, and timestamp fields. Session information is described as keys and values in order to support query/lookup operations. A session table is associated with a filter, which describes a set of keys that can be used for records in that table. A session table is populated using data contained in security information/events. Rules are created to identify events related to session information, extract the session information, and use the session information to modify a session table. A session table is partitioned so that the number of records in each session table partition is decreased. A session table is processed periodically so that active sessions are moved to the current partition.
