Abstract: An online system receives time series data and analyzes the data for identifying trend changes or level shifts in the time series. The time series data may describe resource utilization of systems, for example, bandwidth of computer networks. The online system uses prediction models, for example, machine learning based prediction models using regression to predict data values for the time series. The online system determines error residue values based on difference between predicted data values and actual data values of the time series. The online system determines level change in the error residue to identify change-points representing trend changes or level-shifts in the original time-series. The online system takes corrective action based on the change-point information and the trend following the occurrence of the change-point, for example, sending alerts or instructions for causing reconfiguration of the systems such as the computer network.

Abstract: Content is shared by rendering the content in a shared session and providing the rendered content to the participating devices. The originating device has access to an original version of the content in a virtual session, which is accessed by logging into cloud content services and downloading the desired content into the virtual session. A rendering engine in a rendered session then renders the content and distributes the rendered content to the participants. Only rendered content is provided to the participants, so that the participants cannot see the credentials of the originating user, cannot see the document source and do not have access to the document itself. The participants can mark up the rendered content, which markups are shared to the other participants.
