Abstract: System and method for modeling resource requirements using a resource modeling language to specify and control the placement of resources in a cloud environment are disclosed. Modeling the resource requirements provides control over placement of resources when resiliency, latency and/or other requirements are imposed. In some embodiments, the resource modeling language enables a client to specify number, type and specification of resources as well as set of relationships among the resources. In various embodiments, the system receives via a user interface resource modeling information including specification of one or more resources and a set of rules for placement of the one or more resources in a cloud environment. The system then creates a model based on the resource modeling information, which is stored in a datastore. In response to a request, the system places an order with a cloud controller to instantiate the model in the cloud environment.

Abstract: An online system receives tracking requests from client devices interacting with a website. The online system analyzes user interactions with websites using the tracking requests. The online system predicts an accurate label for the web page that caused the tracking request to be generated. The online system uses the accurate label for generating reports describing user interactions with the website. The online system determines a quality of tracking requests generated by the website based on various factors including a number of web pages of the website that generate tracking requests, the type of information provided by the tracking requests, and so on. The online system generates reports describing the quality of the tracking requests. The online system uses a metric indicating the quality of tracking requests of the website to determine whether to use predicted labels instead of labels provided by tracking requests for generating reports of the website.

The method further includes enabling the first user to broadcast a live video stream to the one or more second users during the chat session. The method further includes enabling at least the first user to convert the chat session to a video session.

Abstract: Various examples of methods and systems for template driven element adapter are described. In one implementation, one or more processors of a computing device may interface between a user and a networked device of a network of a plurality of networked devices to render a communication between the user and the networked device. The one or more processors may process the communication between the user and the networked device by: transforming data contained in the communication; filtering the communication; and performing one or more of the following: aggregating additional data with the communication; translating the communication; and constructing a second structure for the data in the communication using a template based on a first structure of the data in the communication.

Abstract: A communication system to facilitate introduction and communication of two of the user's acquaintances, regardless of which contact information the user has on file for each individual. The system improves upon the current existing forms of contact lists and communication which require an individual to introduce people either in person or through one consistent form of media which both acquaintances must have. The application itself is also able to format the messages and covert them so that each individual receives the message in the form that they prefer to be contacted. Likewise, the two individuals can continue to communicate with each other using the introducer's original chain without having to download the application themselves.
