Abstract: Server-specified subscription filters for long-lived client requests to fetch data in response to events. In one aspect, the techniques encompass a method performed by a set of one or more computing devices. The method includes the step of receiving a long-lived request to fetch data in response to events sent by a client computing device. The method further includes receiving a server-specified subscription filter for the long-lived request and executing the long-lived request. Executing the long-lived request includes creating a persistent function that uses the server-specified subscription filter to map a source event stream to a response event stream. The response event stream is provided to the client computing device. The server-specified subscription filter facilitates filtering of events fetched for the long-lived request in a way that may not be possible or impractical if the subscription client were required to specify the filter in the long-lived request.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system to prioritize multiple issues associated with a wireless telecommunication network. The system obtains the multiple issues associated with the wireless telecommunication network, where an issue among the multiple issues impacts a UE associated with the wireless telecommunication network. The system obtains a number of UEs impacted by the issue, an indication of importance of severity associated with the issue, and an indication of importance of current UE experience. Based on the number of UEs impacted by the issue, the indication of importance of severity of the issue, and the indication of importance of current UE experience, the system computes a priority associated with the issue. Based on the priority, the system prioritizes the multiple issues to obtain a prioritized list. The system provides the prioritized list indicating an order in which to resolve the multiple issues.

Abstract: A controller for heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) equipment that is operable to affect an environmental condition of a building is configured to obtain predictive models that predict values of a carbon emissions control objective and another control objective as a function of control decision variables for the HVAC equipment. The controller executes an optimization process using the predictive models to produce sets of optimization results corresponding to different values of the control decision variables, the carbon emissions control objective, and the other control objective. The controller selects from the sets of optimization results based on the values of the carbon emissions control objective and the other control objective. The controller operates the HVAC equipment to affect the environmental condition of the building in accordance with the values of the control decision variables corresponding to a selected set of the optimization results.
