The MAS acquires media from the electronic devices of the attendees agreeing to share the media with the organizer through a live media capture or an access of stored media. The MAS analyzes the acquired media according to organizer preferences and shares a selection of the analyzed media on preselected social media platforms on receiving a corresponding request from the organizer.

Abstract: Systems and methods to manage and regulate the requests of multiple proxy clients are disclosed. In one aspect, the system and methods disclosed herein aids in configuring proxy server(s) with a rate-limit functionality. Configuration of the rate-limit functionality may be realized by, but not limited to, installing configuration file(s) and/or software application(s) on the proxy server(s). The configuration provides information about the list of restricted and unrestricted domains and their respective request limit specification in a given time frame. Therefore, each time before a proxy server forwards the clients' requests to a target domain, the proxy server checks and ensures that the request count to the particular target domain is well within the limit specified in the request limit specification. Thus, the embodiments described herein aid in preventing the IP addresses of proxy service providers from being blocked or denied from the target websites.

The network function is executed at a network function accelerator card of the second server. A result of the execution is sent to a radio unit of the radio-based application from the second server.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein relate to providing composable edge devices. In some embodiments, a user request specifying a set of services to be executed at a cloud-computing edge device may be received by a computing device operated by a cloud computing provider. A manifest may be generated in accordance with the user request. The manifest may specify a configuration for the cloud-computing edge device. Another request can be received specifying the same or a different set of services to be executed at another edge device. Another manifest which specifies the configuration for that edge device may be generated and subsequently used to provision the request set of services on that device. In this manner, manifests can be used to compose the platform to be utilized at any given edge device.

Abstract: A method for managing virtualized network function (VNF) instantiation, including a first device receiving, from a requester device, a request for instantiating the NS, wherein the request carries instance information of a VNF that is in a network service (NS) and to be instantiated using a second device. After receiving the request, the first device records an instance identifier (ID) of the VNF. In a VNF instantiation phase, the first device authorizes instantiation of the VNF based on the instance ID of the VNF that is recorded during instantiation of the NS. The instance ID of the VNF to be instantiated by the second device is carried in the request, such that the first device can obtain a relationship between the VNF to be instantiated by the second device and the NS, and therefore can control instantiation of the VNF based on the relationship.
