Abstract: A system and method for network virtualization and resource allocation, including storing one or more received network requests in a request table, and updating at least one of a flow table, a waiting list table, or a candidate group map based on the one or more received network requests. The updating includes monitoring a transmission progress of each of one or more flows in a network of interconnected computing devices and moving completed flows from the flow table to a success list, moving requests in the waiting list table which have reached an attempt threshold from the flow table to a fail list, and compiling any residual requests in the waiting list with new requests to generate a new request table. A deterministic request allocation and/or an optimizing request allocation is performed based on the new request table.

Abstract: Software for online active learning receives content posted to an online stream at a website. The software converts the content into an elemental representation and inputs the elemental representation into a probit model to obtain a predictive probability that the content is abusive. The software also calculates an importance weight based on the elemental representation. And the software updates the probit model using the content, the importance weight, and an acquired label if a condition is met. The condition depends on an instrumental distribution. The software removes the content from the online stream if a condition is met. The condition depends on the predictive probability, if an acquired label is unavailable.

Abstract: A communication system includes a first communication device and a second communication device connecting to a LAN. Using a first proxy setting for a specific proxy server, the first communication device communicates with a conference server via a proxy server to establish a session. If the session has not been established, the first communication device determines whether LAN information identifying the LAN is included in history information stored in the first communication device. If the LAN information is includes in the history information, the first communication device transmits setting request data to the second communication device identified by device information associated with the LAN information. If the second processor receives the setting request data, the second processor transmits the second proxy setting to the first communication device. The first communication device communicates with the conference server to establish a session using the received second proxy setting.

Abstract: A gateway apparatus relays communication between first and second servers provided in a data center and an external communication apparatus located outside the data center. A control apparatus obtains an observation result obtained by observing a communication amount being an amount of data transmitted/received per unit time for each of virtual machines operating in the first and second servers in association with a transmission source and a destination of the data. When the first number of hops is smaller than the second number of hops, the control apparatus controls an arrangement of the virtual machines so that the virtual machine whose communication amount with the external communication apparatus is larger is more likely to be placated in the first server.

Abstract: Techniques for cooperative storage management are described. According to embodiments described herein, a storage server stores backup data for a plurality of client systems, including a first client system and one or more other client systems. The storage server receives a request from the first client system to store new backup data. In response to the request from the first client system, the storage server determines which backup data to delete to make space for the new backup data based, at least in part, on retention duration goals associated with the one or more other client systems. The retention duration goals indicate that the client desires to be able to recover data at least as old as a specified age. The storage server may also determine which backup data to delete based, at least in part, on respective minimum space parameter values for the other client systems.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) to be dynamic in nature in that it may automatically be resized based on current/predicted workload and current/predicted resource availability. For example, when a workload is received, a data structure (e.g., a mapping) will be created on a computer storage device and populated with data related to a set of current resources of the networked computing environment that are allocated to the workload. It will then be determined whether a mismatch (e.g., a shortfall) exists between the set of current resources and resources required for processing the workload. If so, a set of peripheral resources will be identified to rectify the mismatch. The networked computing environment will then be resized to accommodate the set of peripheral resources, and the workload will be processed using the resized networked computing environment.
