Abstract: A network configuration method includes: a first connection is established with an access gateway based on a first network identifier of the access gateway; a first request sent by the access gateway is received through the first connection; a first connection token is sent in response to the first request; a second network identifier encrypted by the access gateway with the first connection token when the access gateway determines that the first connection token is a valid token is received on the first connection; and the second network identifier is acquired through decryption, and a second connection is established with the access gateway based on the second network identifier for interaction with a second device through the second connection.

Abstract: A technique implements an administrative user interface of a backend service used to manage and administer on-premises resources, such as storage nodes of a cluster, within a private customer network. The backend service includes a browser configured to issue cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) requests among target storage nodes and a publicly-hosted web application on remote computing systems accessed via a public computer network (i.e., internet) that can be loaded on the browser within the customer network to manage and administer the on-prem resources on the private network. The technique involves the use of CORS over HyperText Transfer Protocol to access an origin that is not reachable via the public internet from a predetermined location of the browser, e.g., within the same customer network as the target storage nodes, particularly to facilitate management of the nodes.

Stream processing nodes capable of applying the function may be determined and execution of the one or more operations may be initiated at the stream processing nodes as data records of the data stream are received. Results of the application of the processing function may be provided to one or more destinations specified for the function. Performance metrics may also be collected for the execution of the function and provided to a client that submitted the function.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a social networking system automatically create a shared space for posting requests to the social networking system from multiple users based on social, spatial and temporal proximity, and create a news feed corresponding to the shared space.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for detecting sensor deployment characteristics in a network. In some embodiments, a system can run a capturing agent deployed on a virtualization environment of the system. The capturing agent can query the virtualization environment for one or more environment parameters, and receive a response from the virtualized environment including the one or more environment parameters. Based on the one or more environment parameters, the capturing agent can determine whether the virtualization environment where the capturing agent is deployed is a hypervisor or a virtual machine. The capturing agent can also determine what type of software switch is running in the virtualized environment.

Abstract: Technology is described for providing an ownership transfer service in virtual computing service environment. Computing resources under the control of one or multiple customers are stored in an ownership transfer account. Workflows based on a pre-defined set of triggers for releasing the computing resources from the ownership transfer account are established. Exclusive control over the computing resources may be transferred from the single or multiple customers to at least one of the multiple customers or to a receiving customer according to a triggering event. The exclusive control over the computing resources from one or at least one of the multiple customers is terminated upon occurrence of one of the pre-defined set of triggers or temporary control is granted based on rules such as time periods.

Abstract: A method for handling a plurality of instant message delivery media to a user of a mobile device is provided. The method may include detecting at least one instant message to be delivered to a recipient-user on the mobile device. The method may also include determining if a plurality of predefined conditions have been configured by the recipient-user. The method may further include displaying the at least one instant message to the recipient-user in accordance with the plurality of predefined conditions configured by the recipient-user.

Abstract: A source virtual machine (VM) hosted on a source server is migrated to a destination VM on a destination server without first powering down the source VM. After optional pre-copying of the source VM's memory to the destination VM, the source VM is suspended and its non-memory state is transferred to the destination VM; the destination VM is then resumed from the transferred state. In one embodiment, the source VM memory is either paged into the destination VM on demand, or is transferred asynchronously by pre-copying and write-protecting the source VM memory, and then later transferring only the modified pages after the destination VM is resumed. In one embodiment, the source and destination servers share common storage, in which the source VM's virtual disk is stored; this avoids the need to transfer the virtual disk contents.

Abstract: A method is provided for sharing a file. A first mobile device can generate a link and the link can enable a second mobile device to send a request to a permission server to access a file from a remote server. The permission server can determine a unique identifier of the second mobile device is associated with sufficient file sharing privileges to receive the file from the remote server. Additionally, the permission server can enable the second mobile device to download the file from the remote server, upon determining that the unique identifier is associated with sufficient file sharing privileges. Once the second mobile device with sufficient file sharing privileges downloads the file from the remote server, the first mobile device can receive a confirmation.

Abstract: An author using an author device may connect to a publishing network, which in turn may be connected to a number of service provider networks that provide services relating to publishing workflow (e.g., editing, typography, historical research, cover designing) and business (e.g., marketing, promotion, author events). The publishing network may provide a network portal for the author and network portals for various service providers, with graphical user interfaces for both the author and the service providers. The author can then select specific service providers based on ratings, posted service rates, special requirements such as time scheduling and genre specialization, and can hire those service providers to work with the author's on or with the author's manuscript through the publishing network. The publishing network may then generate an agreement and track its signing as well as other milestones in the working relationship.
