Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to enabling access transaction systems to accept different communication protocols. In some embodiment, an access device receives, from a portable device, an indication that a transaction is to be performed by exchanging transaction information between the portable device and a remote computer, wherein the remote computer is configured to communicate using a first communication protocol. Next, the access device determines that the portable device is configured to communicate using a second communication protocol. The access device then converts communications between the portable device and the remote computer from the second communication protocol to the first communication protocol to assist the portable device and the remote computer in exchanging the transaction information.

Abstract: A controller device includes a memory and one or more processors coupled to the memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to receive, from a set of sensor devices, first telemetry data indicating a first set of changes for telemetry parameters that occur during a first time range. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to determine, using the first snapshot and the first telemetry data, a second snapshot that specifies a first complete state at an end of the first time range. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to determine a second complete state of the telemetry parameters for the second time range based on the second snapshot and second telemetry data indicating a second set of changes for the set of telemetry parameters that occur during a second time range.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide techniques for partitioning a resource object into multiple resource components of a cluster of host computer nodes in a distributed resources system. The distributed resources system translates high-level policy requirements into a resource configuration that the system accommodates. The system determines an allocation based on the policy requirements and identifies resource configurations that are available. Upon selecting a resource configuration, the distributed resources system assigns the allocation and associated values to the selected configuration and publishes the new configuration to other host computer nodes in the cluster.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains behavioral metrics for application traffic in a network for a plurality of applications. The device identifies a first application and a second application from among the plurality of applications as fate sharing applications, based on a correlation between the behavioral metrics for their application traffic. The device generates a configuration change for the network that would prevent the first application and the second application from being fate sharing applications, when application traffic for the first application negatively affects the behavioral metrics for the application traffic of the second application. The device causes the configuration change to be implemented in the network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for automatically identifying spam in social media comments based on comparison of the context or topic of the popular or trending post with the context or topic of each comment associated with the post. Content of a social media post is processed to identify a topic of the social media post. A plurality of comments associated with the social media post are accessed and the topic of each comment is compared to the topic of the social media post and, if the topics do not match, the comment is identified as spam. A notification is generated for display to an administrator of the social media platform on which the social media post resides identifying the comment as spam.

Abstract: Optimizing backups for a data protection system by determining a size of a dataset to be saved in each backup operation and an available bandwidth in each transfer window of transfer windows for data transfers between a source and destination. An order of the backup operations is defined based on first ordering the backups based on decreasing dataset size and second ordering the transfer windows in order of decreasing bandwidth, and matching the backups to the transfer windows in accordance with these orderings. A dynamic window sizing process determines an initial change between the minimum and maximum bandwidth utilization over a period of time and then iteratively split and consolidate the time blocks until optimal utilization over the time period is reached.
