Abstract: The present disclosure relates to dynamically scheduling resource requests in a distributed system based on usage quotas. One example method includes identifying usage information for a distributed system including atoms, each atom representing a distinct item used by users of the distributed system; determining that a usage quota associated with the distributed system has been exceeded based on the usage information, the usage quota representing an upper limit for a particular type of usage of the distributed system; receiving a first request for a particular atom requiring invocation of the particular type of usage represented by the usage quota; determining that a second request for a different type of usage of the particular atom is waiting to be processed; and processing the second request for the particular atom before processing the first request.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device trains, using feedback from a reference cohort of users of an online application, a prediction model to predict a quality of experience metric for the online application based on network telemetry. The device uses the prediction model to predict quality of experience metrics for different cohorts of users of the online application. The device makes one or more comparisons between performance metrics for the prediction model for the different cohorts of users, based on the quality of experience metrics predicted for the different cohorts of users. The device retrains, based on the one or more comparisons, the prediction model using feedback from the reference cohort and a particular cohort from among the different cohorts of users.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to automatically creating customized whiteboard backgrounds. A network system accesses metadata associated with a virtual presentation (e.g., title, topic, tenant identifier). First image data is identified based on first data of the metadata and second image data is identified based on second data of the metadata. Using the first image data and the second image data, the network system generates a plurality of whiteboard backgrounds by combining a first object obtained from the first image data with a second object obtained from the second image data to form each whiteboard background. The network system then causes presentation of a representation of each of the plurality of whiteboard backgrounds on a user interface of a host, who can select one of the representations. In response to receiving a selection, a whiteboard background corresponding to the selected representation is displayed as background on a whiteboard canvas.

Abstract: A dynamically-managed microservices platform. The microservices platform is configured to selectively accept admission of microservices and to selectively throttle microservices based on a continually-trained machine learning model. The system is configured to implement multiple microservice lifecycle strategies, where individual ones of the multiple microservice lifecycle strategies use a prediction model having long-term and short term demand predictions. One or another of the multiple microservice lifecycle strategies are invoked at different times under different conditions. Under a first set of conditions, a prediction model is used to select a first strategy to admit or throttle a microservice based upon long-term or short-term demand predictions. Under a second set of conditions, the prediction model is used to select a different strategy to admit or throttle a microservice.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to computer systems and methods that stream selected media content to a client device. Selection of particular content to stream to a device of a given user is performed based on parameters specified in advance by the given user. Selection is made from received content that is parsed, indexed, and stored in real-time in such a way as to allow for real-time monitoring and searching of the content according to the user-specified parameters. The user is alerted as to the discovery of the selected content and enabled to connect to a stream presenting the selected content. The selected content is presented within the stream beginning from a playback time corresponding to a moment that triggered the discovery of the selected content, even if the moment has passed, thus providing the user with a comprehensive presentation of the selected content.

Abstract: A method and a system employing an expanded reach rich messaging application (ERRMA) for creating and transmitting a rich message or an equivalent rich message is provided. The ERRMA receives a request to send a rich message on a specified rich messaging channel (SRMC) to a user's mobile number. The ERRMA determines whether the user's mobile number is enabled for receiving rich messages on the SRMC. Upon a successful determination, the ERRMA creates and transmits the rich message on the SRMC to the user's mobile number. Upon an unsuccessful determination, the ERRMA determines whether the user's mobile number is enabled for receiving the rich message on an alternative rich messaging channel. Upon determining that the user's mobile number is enabled for receiving the rich message on the alternative rich messaging channel, the ERRMA creates and transmits the equivalent rich message on the alternative rich messaging channel to a user device.

The first and second subsets of the telemetry data are mutually exclusive, and the first temporal characteristics and the second temporal characteristics are different.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments for constructing an abstract domain topology. In one embodiment, a Path Computation Element (PCE) is configured as a parent PCE to at least one child PCE. Each of the child PCEs is responsible for providing path computational services for a domain. Communication is established between the parent PCE and the at least one child PCE. The parent PCE receives from each of its child PCEs domain connection information corresponding to the domain of each child PCE. The parent PCE builds and maintains an abstract domain topology based on the domain connection information that it receives from its child PCEs. In one embodiment, the domain connection information is communicated from the child PCE to the parent PCE by adding a new notification-type (NT) and notification-value (NV) to a notification object in a Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) notification message.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing projects in a content management system. For example, the content management system can create a project folder (e.g., shared folder) for managing data associated with a project. The project folder can be shared with content management system users (e.g., project members) who are contributors to the project. The content management system can store project data (e.g., content items, communications, comments, tasks, etc.) related to the project in the project folder. When the project folder is selected by a user, the content management system can generate a project folder view that presents the project data associated with the project folder and/or project in a convenient and easy to access graphical user interface. The content management system can aggregate project data from various content items associated with the project and present the project data in a single graphical user interface.
