Abstract: Technologies for displaying notifications on a mobile computing device includes determining a notification category for each notification, determining a priority level for each notification in each notification category, and determining a priority order of the notification categories. The notification categories are displayed as notification containers in which the associated notifications are displayed. Each notification may be displayed as separate tile having a location, size, color, and/or other visual property based on the relative priority level of the individual notification.

Abstract: A system and/or computer program product retrieves a nested resource of software modules. A client computer identifies software modules that are required by a primary software module. The dependent and primary software modules are consolidated at a client computer into an aggregated software module, which is an exemplary nested resource. A request for the aggregated software module is transmitted to a module server from a client-side module loader, which is incapable of identifying a name of received software modules from the module server, and where the module server is blocked from returning additional software modules in response to a request for a particular module. The client-side module loader in the client computer then receives the requested aggregated software module without any identification and utilizes asynchronous module definition (AMD) specification commands to generate the aggregated software module.

Abstract: A prioritizing entity prioritizes external contacts using a social network and determines people at the external contact who may influence execution of a given matter. The prioritizing entity also prioritizes internal resources with respect to the prioritized external contacts based on social proximity to people at the external contact, also by using the social network. The prioritizing entity assigns a prioritized internal resource to a prioritized external contact. Prioritizing external contacts includes ranking the external contacts based on an estimate of the amounts individual external contacts could spend on a given matter. Prioritizing internal resources includes determining explicit connections and inferred connections with people at the external contact, using the social network.

Abstract: A system can correlate derived metrics for system activity to determine problems and recommend solutions. Using a hierarchy of derived metrics from a set of raw metrics, a system can identify a problem, correlate related metrics and determine a recommended solution. For example, raw metrics can be collected about computing resources. Analyzers can process the raw metrics and outputs from other analyzers to gather metrics that include metrics derived from other metrics. When a problem symptom is discovered, derived metrics (and other metrics) can be correlated with the symptom to help identify the problem. Using the correlated metrics, a system can recommend a solution to an identified problem.

Abstract: A distribution list identifies a plurality of recipient addresses for electronic messages. Normal updates to the distribution list can be performed via update commands from an authorized address that is stored in association with the distribution list as authorized to update the distribution list. When a removal command is received from a specific recipient address, which is not authorized to update the distribution list, the specific address can be removed from the distribution list. When an addition command is received from the specific address, a new address can be added to the distribution list. Before sending an outbound electronic message, the distribution list is resolved to the current set of recipient addresses.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for managing a distributed computing system that features multiple hosts executing a distributed application. On each host a collector process collects application-level and/or system-level metrics and reports them to a data repository. A controller executes actor processes that compare the metrics, and/or trends in the metrics, to predetermined thresholds. If a threshold is met or passed, the corresponding actor or the controller initiates one or more remedy processes that take action intended to alleviate the condition detected by the actor. When a remedy is triggered, the controller takes a snapshot of the system to identify the current state, and saves information indicating how well the executed remedies corrected the situation. When a new snapshot matches an existing snapshot, the controller uses the saved information to determine which remedies to apply to the present occurrence of the mutual state.

The independent processing units can include an analysis engine that is machine learning capable, and thus uniquely completes its processing tasks. The server can provide one or several pieces of data to one or several of the independent processing units, can receive an analysis results from the one or several independent processing units, and can update the result based on a value characterizing the machine learning of the independent processing unit.

Abstract: Distributive content delivery techniques are applied in a content delivery system. A content delivery overlay is generated as a function of delay times, bandwidth requirements, and throughput of a network. Helpers are added to the content delivery network as a function of delay times, bandwidth requirements, and throughput. Further, content can be transmitted without exchanging buffermaps or waiting for whole packets to be transmitted.

Abstract: Approaches for automatically managing user privileges for computer resources based on determined levels of expertise in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) are provided. In a typical approach, a user profile associated with a prospective user of a set of computer resources in the networked computing environment may be accessed. The user profile may include information pertaining to a skill level of the prospective user with respect to the set of computer resources. Based on the information contained in the user profile, an expertise level of the prospective user with respect to the set of computer resources may be determined, and a corresponding score may be calculated. Based on the score, a level of user privileges for the set of computer resources may be provided.
