Abstract: An event-based social media search platform for pet and animal related searches includes a database for storing event data associated with user-created events relating to pets or animals for a plurality of users. The platform analyzes event data from different user-created events to determine when user-created events have event data in common. The platform alerts users of related events and facilitates communications between users to confirm that the user-created events relate to the same pets or animals. The platform can associate event data and users of related events in the database. Events can be published via social media platforms to assist users in searching for new pets and animals, finding missing pets and animals, or locating pets and animals after natural disasters.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for migrating data from a first storage system to a second storage system. That data is for a process (e.g., a virtual machine, application, or some other process) operating on a computer system that is separate from the first storage system and the second storage system. That data is stored according to data subsets that are each exclusive of each other. As each data set is migrated, access to the data set by the process is precluded, but access for the remaining data sets is not affected. Once the data migration is complete, access to the data set by the process is restored.

Abstract: In an approach for ensuring data protection and control in a distributed hybrid multi-cloud environment with Kubernetes clusters, a processor determines whether a respective quorum of the set of clusters are online. A processor, responsive to determining that a respective quorum of the set of clusters are online, determines whether one or more applications of the cluster are running on another cluster of the set of clusters. A processor, responsive to determining the one or more applications of the cluster are not running on another cluster of the set of clusters, determines whether the cluster is designated as a highest priority cluster. A processor, responsive to determining the cluster is designated as the highest priority cluster, determines whether a main cluster of the set of clusters is online. A processor, responsive to determining the main cluster is online, scales a new custom resource to one (1).

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance packet processing. In one implementation, a host computing element identifies a packet from a process executing on the host computing element. In response to identifying the packet, the host computing element determines whether the packet originates from a container namespace corresponding to a container on the host computing element or a host namespace corresponding to the host computing element. If the packet originates from a container namespace, the host computing element may determine supplemental information for the container associated with the container namespace, and process the packet based on the supplemental information.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for determining readiness for switchover operations for network devices. A policy definition specifying a set of criteria and a set of instructions is received. Based on the set of instructions, a first supervisor module is determined whether it is ready for a switchover operation based on the set of criteria. The switchover operation includes a second supervisor module configured as a backup to the first supervisor module taking over for the first supervisor module. A set of conditions are determined whether they are satisfied. When the set of conditions are determined to be satisfied and the first supervisor module is determined to be ready for the switchover operation, the switchover operation is triggered to cause the second supervisor module to take over for the first supervisor module.

Abstract: The multi-agent simulation system includes a plurality of agent simulators provided for each of the plurality of agents and a center controller. The plurality of agent simulators are programmed to simulate a state of each of the plurality of agents while causing the plurality of agents to interact with each other by exchanging messages. The center controller is programmed to control a speed ratio of a flow of time in the target world to a flow of time in a real world. Each of the plurality of agent simulators calculates an index value corresponding to a remainder time rate. The remainder time rate is a rate of a remainder time to an update time interval for updating a state of a target agent to be simulated. The center controller controls the speed ratio based on the index value calculated by each of the plurality of agent simulators.

Abstract: Solutions for enabling analytics for a virtualized application leverage reproducibility of information as a substitute for persisting information. Disclosed solutions include: collecting, by a virtualized application, first analytics data on a user equipment (UE); performing, by the virtualized application, a one-way function (e.g., a hash function) on persistent information (e.g., an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) number) on the UE to generate a unique UE identification (ID); transmitting the first analytics data and the UE ID to a remote node across a network; collecting, by the virtualized application, second analytics data on the UE; and transmitting the second analytics data and the UE ID to the remote node across the network. Because the UE ID is deterministic, it may be generated repeatedly, as needed, (producing the same value each time) to compensate for the inability of the virtualized application to persist the UE ID on the UE.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing information associated with an inter-cluster segment. For instance, system(s) may determine dependencies for first services associated with a first cluster and second dependencies for second services associated with a second cluster. The system(s) may then determine information for interconnections between the first cluster and the second cluster. The information may include at least dependencies for third services included in the inter-cluster segment and/or performance information for the third services. The system(s) may then generate a user interface that includes the first dependencies for the first services, the second dependencies for the second services, and the information for the inter-cluster segment. This way, a user is able to use the user interface to identify both problems occurring within the clusters and/or problems that are caused by the third services in the inter-cluster segment.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a scalable, extensible, fault-tolerant system for stateful joining of two or more streams that are not fully synchronized, event ordering is not guaranteed, and certain events arrive a bit late. The system can ensure to combine the events or link the data in near real-time with low latency to mitigate impacts on downstream applications, such as ML models for determining suspicious behavior. Apart from combining events, the system can ensure to propagate the needed entities to other product streams or help in entity resolution. If any of the needed data is yet to arrive, a user can configure a few parameters to achieve desired eventual and attribute consistency. The architecture is designed to be agnostic of stream processing framework and can work well with both streaming and batch paths.
