Abstract: Systems and method herein provide for sophisticated and efficient matching between users of a vehicle data system and data on sales that occur, where that data was obtained from distributed sources across a computer network. In particular, embodiments may obtain data from a variety of data sources across a distributed network and enhance data records by correlating the data obtained from these distributed sources. Data on sales thus obtain can be correlated with data on online users of the vehicle data system using a scoring engine to provide confidence scores to potential user-sale matches.

Abstract: Techniques for planning resources using block and route information are described. In an example, a computing system determines a demand for item transportation expected during a planning horizon. The computing system determines information about a pre-planned transportation resource available during the planning horizon and costs associated with the pre-planned transportation resource. The computing system uses an optimization model to determine a block having a time length, a tour to transport, during the block, a first portion of the demand using the pre-planned transportation resource, and a second portion of the demand to be transported using an on-demand transportation resource. The computing system indicates, to a first computing device of the pre-planned transportation resource, an assignment of the block to the pre-planned transportation resource.

Abstract: The future presence of a worker in a dynamic workspace which includes resources for temporary use may be signaled to other workers. In response a first worker making a reservation of a resource, a second worker to indicate the future presence of that first worker to is determined based on communication records associated with the first worker and the second worker. An indication of the reservation of the resource for the first worker, and thus the future presence of that first worker in an office which includes that reserved resource, is accordingly signaled to the second worker. A suggested resource for the second worker may then be determined based on the reservation of the resource for the first worker. In response to the second worker making a reservation of the suggested resource, a reservation record indicating the reservation of the suggested resource for the second worker may then be generated.

Abstract: A request for transport services that identifies a rider, an origin, and a destination is received from a client device. Eligibility of the request to be serviced by a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is determined based on the origin and the destination. The client device is sent an itinerary for servicing the transport request including a leg serviced by the VTOL aircraft. Confirmation is received that the rider has boarded the VTOL aircraft and determination made as to whether the VTOL aircraft should wait for additional riders. Instruction are sent to the VTOL aircraft to take-off if one or more conditions are met.

Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product for efficiently outsourcing projects, such as software development projects, are presented. A business entity may precisely and succinctly define one or more requests for proposals (RFPs) using predefined service identifiers which specify discrete, short-term projects (e.g., 4 weeks or less) with fixed inputs and outputs and objective evaluation metrics which allow for each project to be evaluated using, for example, automated evaluation software tools. By posting RFPs on a web site, the business entity solicits bids from third party vendors to perform the project identified in the RFP. Since individual projects are identified with objective inputs, outputs, and evaluation metrics, vendors can bid on the project with minimal evaluation and speculation regarding the appropriate bidding price for the project.
