Abstract: The system provides the ability for primary users (e.g., parents, or the like) to assign actions to dependent users (e.g., kids, or the like) through the use of devices located at the location of the dependent users (e.g., home, or the like). The actions may be tasks for the dependent users to complete using devices (e.g., appliances or other devices). Moreover, the primary users can monitor if the dependent users are undertaking the assigned actions using the devices, and in response, may control the use of other devices at the same location (e.g., entertainment devices) until the dependent users undertake the actions (e.g., start, complete, etc. the actions). Assignment of the actions and control of the devices may be made automatically in order to aid in achieving the one or more desired actions. Notification of the actions and/or instructions on how to perform the actions may pushed to the devices.

Abstract: In a system for efficiently detecting large/elephant flows in a network, the rate at which the received packets are sampled is adjusted according to a top flow detection likelihood computed for a cache of flows identified in the arriving network traffic. After observing packets sampled from the network, Dirichlet-Categorical inference is employed to calculate a posterior distribution that captures uncertainty about the sizes of each flow, yielding a top flow detection likelihood. The posterior distribution is used to find the most likely subset of elephant flows. The technique rapidly converges to the optimal sampling rate at a speed O(1/n), where n is the number of packet samples received, and the only hyperparameter required is the targeted detection likelihood.
