Abstract: Technologies and implementations for providing a data center access and management settings transfer service are generally disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods of using an adaptive (i.e., learning) client-server system to enhance the efficiency of sample submissions, e.g., the submission of samples of malware programs to a server dictionary. The server in such a system may accumulate a dictionary of known programs and/or portions of programs that have been submitted by many different client devices over time, representing all the various programs that they have encountered. If a portion of a particular file submission is already “available” to the server (i.e., it is a portion that the server has already analyzed and stored), it will be excluded from all future sample transmissions. The server will gradually accumulate a rich dictionary of common program portions, thus requesting transmission only of previously unseen portions. Such systems, apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods may therefore be used to reduce transmission times needed for future sample submissions.

Abstract: Hybrid quorum policies may be implemented for access requests to state maintained in a distributed system. An update to state maintained in a distributed system may be sent to multiple nodes in the distributed system maintain the state in order to satisfy a hybrid quorum policy for updating the state in the distributed system. The hybrid quorum policy may include individual quorum policies for multiple quorum sets including nodes of the distributed system. Acknowledgments received from nodes in the distributed system indicating that the update is performed may be evaluated according to the individual quorum policies to determine whether the hybrid quorum policy is satisfied. If the hybrid quorum policy is satisfied, then the update to the state may be considered durable.

Abstract: A method for receiving data, a method for sending data, a mobile terminal, and a server are disclosed. The method includes: when an application program on a mobile terminal is switched to a background, sending, by the mobile terminal, a first message to a push server, so that the push server sends a second message to an application server, where the second message is used to instruct the application server to send, when there is data that needs to be sent to the mobile terminal, the data to the push server, and the application server serves the application program; and receiving, by the mobile terminal, the data sent by the push server. Through the present invention, the mobile terminal does not need not maintain a heartbeat connection to the application server, thereby reducing signaling overhead of the mobile terminal and reducing energy consumption.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a network graph describing a network having two or more nodes. An application graph is received describing a data stream application. The application graph includes one or more vertices, each corresponding to an operator of the application and associated with a list of nodes. A first vertex of the application graph corresponds to a first operator and is associated with two or more nodes. The application graph is augmented, which includes replicating the first operator such that the augmented graph includes a copy of the first operator at each of the nodes associated with the first vertex. The application is deployed over the network based on the augmented graph, such that a copy of the first operator is deployed at each of the nodes associated with the first vertex. A route through the augmented graph is selected for a data stream.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a first set of scored results from a first user, the scored results comprising one or more results generated by a first search algorithm in response to a query from the first user, wherein the one or more results correspond to one or more content objects, respectively, the one or more results being personalized for the first user; and one or more scores inputted by the first user corresponding to the one or more results, respectively, calculating a discounted cumulative gain for each result in the first set of scored results based on the score inputted by the first user corresponding to the result, and modifying the first search algorithm based on the calculated gain for each result, wherein the first search algorithm is modified to improve the ranking of results personalized for the first user.

Abstract: A system and method are described for establishing two-way push communication between an intermediate or companion device and a mobile device. Mobile devices register to listen for push notifications delivered through a push notification service from a specified set of providers. The presence of the mobile devices is delivered to the push notification service that maps the mobile devices to connections made between their respective companion devices and the push notification service. If the push notification service determines that a mobile device is “online,” in response to receiving a push notification for the mobile device, a current network connection over which a companion device is listening for push notifications is identified and the push notification is forwarded to the companion device. The companion device then can deliver the push notification to the mobile device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for providing a pseudo permanent communications connection using temporary connection protocols are described. Example embodiments provide a Enhanced Communications Layer that provides such connections by means of a layer incorporated in the client side and server side communications stacks. The ECL maintains a pool of connections that are opened and used in a staggered fashion to reduce the amount of connection setup and teardown.

Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes determining an action to be performed with respect to a packet corresponding to a new flow received at a network device and determining whether a new entry comprising an indication of the determined action can be added to a flow table of the network device. The determination of whether a new entry can be added to the flow table is made with reference to reservation information specified in a port profile associated with the new flow. Responsive to a determination that the new entry can be added, the new entry is added to the flow table. In one embodiment, determining whether the new entry can be added comprises determining whether an existing entry can be aged out based on the reservation information specified in the associated port profile.
