Abstract: An example system for dynamic agent management involving multiple queues is presented. The system may include a remote network management platform that manages a network by way of a computational instance. A first group and a second group of agents may be assigned to address work items in a first queue in the computational instance. The second group may also be assigned to address and prioritize work items in a second queue in the computational instance. A computing device within the computational instance may assign a work item originating from a client device in the managed network into the first queue according to routing rules. The assignment may cause a timer to record a duration that the work item is in the first queue. The computing device may assign one of the second group of agents to address the work item based on the duration exceeding a pre-determined value.

Abstract: A vending machine with a curved exterior shape is disclosed. Some embodiments of the vending machine are circular in design, and include a transparent upper housing that allows customers to see into the interior of the vending machine. Products for vending may be stored in a non-transparent lower housing. A centrally-located product delivery system transports products for vending from the lower housing to delivery portals located on the upper housing. The product delivery system is able to move along a vertical line and rotate through the horizontal plane and can deliver products from any portion of the lower housing to any delivery portals located on the upper housing.

Abstract: Feedback for map information is based on an integrated navigation solution for a device within a moving platform using obtained motion sensor data from a sensor assembly of the device, obtained radar measurements for the platform and obtained map information for an environment encompassing the platform. An integrated navigation solution is generated based at least in part on the obtained motion sensor data using a nonlinear state estimation technique that uses a nonlinear measurement model for radar measurements. The map information is assessed based at least in part on the integrated navigation solution and radar measurements so that feedback for the map information can be provided.

Abstract: A system and method can support asynchronous request/response in a network environment. A network protocol can utilize a load balancer to balance requests, such as HTTP requests, over a fast network interface, such as InfiniBand, to one or more nodes of an application server cluster. The system and method can attach headers to the requests such that the requests can be sent in an interleaved manner. The system and method can further allow for sending of large requests by breaking up the large requests into smaller portions, and sending each portion, interleaved, with other requests.
