Abstract: A system and method of forming proxy server pools is provided. The method comprises several steps, such as requesting a pool to execute the user's request and retrieving an initial group. The system checks the service history of an initial group, including whether any of the proxy servers in an initial group are exclusive to existing pools. The exclusive proxy servers in an initial group with eligible proxy servers are replaced when needed and new proxy server pools are formed. The system also records the service history of proxy servers and pools before and after the pools are created. The method can also involve predicting the pool health in relation with the thresholds foreseen and replacing the proxy servers below the threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed here is a system to automatically predict and resolve issues within a telecommunication network. Initially, the system builds a service registry to store dependence information within the network, which can include software components and hardware components. Various components of the network create logs of their operations. Machine learning models examine the logs and detect any issues. Upon detecting an issue or abnormal event, the system can automatically resolve the issue by determining the most similar issue occurring previously and determining a solution that resolved the previous most similar issue. In addition, the system can propagate the fix to dependent systems and/or notify the dependent systems of the issue.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is presented for automatically generating alerting rules. The method includes identifying, via offline analytics, abnormal patterns and normal patterns from history logs based on machine learning, statistical analysis and deep learning, the history logs stored in a history log database, automatically generating the alerting rules based on the identified abnormal and normal patterns, and transmitting the alerting rules to an alerting engine for evaluation. The method further includes receiving a plurality of online log messages from a plurality of computing devices connected to a network, augmenting the plurality of online log messages, and extracting information from the plurality of augmented online log messages to be provided to the alerting engine, the alerting engine configured to approve and enforce the alerting rules automatically generated by the offline analytics processing.

Abstract: Snapshots of storage volumes and containers of a bundled application may be created and used to rollback or clone the bundled application. Clone snapshots of storage volumes may be gradually populated with data from prior snapshots to reduce loading on a primary snapshot. Components of cloned applications may communicate with one another using addresses of these components in the parent application. Containers of the bundled application may communicate with an open virtual switch (OVS) that implements flows to implement translation between clone and parent addresses. Containers may be modified to execute operation-specific entrypoint functions prior to invoking an entrypoint of an application instance loaded in the containers.

Abstract: An output-decision-based negative feedback control method and system. The method includes: receiving, by an output decider, output responses of at least two heterogeneous functional equivalents, and dividing numbers corresponding to the at least two heterogeneous functional equivalents into at least one set according to the output responses; determining, by the output decider, credibility of each set according to the output responses, and sending the at least one set and the credibility corresponding to each set to a feedback controller via decision information; generating, by the feedback controller, a first scheduling policy and/or a second scheduling policy according to the decision information; and sending, by the feedback controller, the first scheduling policy to an input proxy, and/or sending a change instruction to the heterogeneous functional equivalent indicated by the second scheduling policy. The method can prevent in advance and process a heterogeneous functional equivalent that may be faulty.

Abstract: Chat through computer with multiple virtual assistants who talk to and listen to each other, as well as the human participant(s). Each of the multiple virtual assistants is represented in a visual, virtual reality or augmented reality, display, such as the display built into augmented reality goggles. Each of the multiple virtual assistants is represented in this display by an anthropomorphic avatar (for example, a cartoon style person or robot or talking animal).

Abstract: A user of a mobile device can specify particular news, weather, traffic, or other perishable content received on a particular Internet radio station or other media channel received by the mobile device. The user can customize the station so that wherever the user is currently located, they can receive on their mobile device perishable content related to a preferred geographic location or other category.

Abstract: Usually agents probe other agents across the network to determine health of a network. However, it is also useful for agents to probe themselves. Such a test probe is off-network in that it does not leave a server rack. The off-network probes can be used to detect noisy agents, which can be excluded from further consideration in evaluating overall network quality. The off-network probing of the agents can be done in a loopback interface of the host device or via a top-of-rack switch to another distinct agent in the rack.
