Abstract: The technology disclosed herein enables the creation of a contacts group from participants in a communication session along with the ability to share that created contacts group. In a particular embodiment, a method includes identifying participants participating in a communication session and receiving first user input from a first participant of the participants. The first user input identifies a first selection of the participants comprising at least one of the participants. The method further includes obtaining first contact information for the first selection of the participants and including the first contact information in a first contacts group. The method also includes providing the first contacts group to a selection of one or more users.

Abstract: An expression evaluation system is provided. During operation, the system can obtain an encoded expression associated with a user group of a network and evaluate the encoded expression for a first switch to determine a first set of commands that the user group is allowed to execute on the first switch. The encoded expression can encode a set of commands. The system can then determine validity of the first set of commands for the user group by determining whether a respective user of the user group should be allowed to execute the first set of commands on the first switch. If the system identifies an issue with the validity of the first set commands, the system can generate a notification indicating the issue.

Abstract: The systems, devices, and techniques discussed herein are directed to commissioning network nodes as they are installed in a network. A commissioning agent can be installed in a network node prior to installing the network node in a network. When coupled to a port of an aggregation network node, the network node and/or the aggregation network node can provide an indication of a generic or private Internet protocol (IP) address to a commissioning node. The commissioning node can determine that the network node is to be initialized, and can provide commissioning files to the network node. Accordingly, the network node can configure the network node based in part on the commissioning files, including updating an IP address of the network node to a public address. Thus, network nodes can be commissioned remotely without requiring a separate provisioning channel and without requiring the network node to be configured prior to installation.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards a streaming data storage system that provides different views of a data stream to different applications based on a per-application data expiration policy. Applications that have different needs related to data lifetime management can be registered to read the same data stream, with each application individually assigned a data expiration time period. When one registered application reads the data stream, that application is presented with a view of the data stream that is subject to that application's expiration time period. When another registered application with a different expiration time period reads the same data stream, the other application is presented with a different view, according to that other application's expiration time period. The time periods for a registered application can be set between a minimum expiration period and a maximum expiration period, or set to a default value between the minimum and maximum.

The communication certificate can allow the first user device to exchange certain information with a second user device that also possesses the communication certificate. The first user device can receive a notification. The first user device can also determine that a second user device associated with the user did not receive the notification. The first user device can initiate a direct connection with the second user device. The first use device can verify that the second device possesses the communication certificate. After verification, the first user device can send the notification to the second user device.

Abstract: Network architectures interface with several real-time streams that control network operation. The network can analyze stream data by storing incoming raw stream data, processing the data, and controlling network operations based thereon. Specific packets, bits, flags, fields, or messages may be targeted, including HL7 ADTs. Data is queued for processing in a FIFO manner to avoid timeline mistakes. The network sets a configuration value based on the data analyzed in this time ordering, and a relational database can be updated in real-time with these values as stream data is incoming. Separate clean-up functions separately manage the database by adjusting the values as they become old. Timeline information is generated and selectively broadcast based on the operations value, potentially with additional information from the targeted data. The network selectively provides this information to users interfaces and displays as dictated by the operating value and information calculated therefrom.
