Abstract: In some implementations, a user interface for an application is displayed using a web browser instance on a client device. An input is received to present data on the user interface in a particular view. In response to the input, a first web worker thread corresponding to the web browser instance obtains data from a server, and executes first library routines to store the data in local storage at the client device.

Unlike prior art monolithic networking stacks, the exemplary networking stack architecture described hereinafter includes various components that span multiple domains (both in-kernel, and non-kernel).

The user space networking stack facilitates tighter integration between the protocol layers (including TLS) and the application or daemon. Exemplary systems can support multiple networking protocol stack instances (including an in-kernel traditional network stack).

Abstract: An agent selection component that selects and activates artificial agents for interacting with a user on behalf of various entity based on user interaction with a real environment. The agent selection component detects user interaction with the real environment, and evaluates the detected user interaction. Based on that evaluation, the agent selection component selects an artificial agent that acts for an entity from amongst multiple artificial agents that act for different entities (e.g., to answer questions, to place orders, to schedule, or the like). The agent selection component then causes the selected artificial agent to activate to interact with the entity. Thus, different interactions with a real environment may result in the agent selection component permitting the user to interface with artificial agents for different entities.

When a return value is received for the instruction, the processor can decrement the counter. While the counter is not zero, the processor prevents the thread from completing (exiting).

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a data model infrastructure is implemented as a service rather than as an always-running server. Specifically, one of the technical issues with past implementations is that the data models are deployed onto a server that is intended to be “always running”, even if there are no requests to the server. This utilizes memory and processing power. While it may be useful to have an always running server for commonly used applications, for applications that are infrequently used (e.g., 10 times a month), it can mean that memory and processing power is wasted. Thus, by implementing the data model infrastructure as a service rather than an always-running server, the service can be launched only when actually needed, saving both memory and processing power.
