Abstract: In some implementations, a first computing device can send notifications at times that the first computing device is not in an expected location. A user of a second computing device can remotely configure an expected location for the first computing device, which may be a particular location for a certain period of time. During that time, the first computing device can monitor its own location and check whether it is within the expected location. If the first computing device unexpectedly leaves or fails to enter the expected location, the first computing device may transmit a notification to the second computing device. Similarly, if the first computing device loses connectivity with other devices, a server device may notify the second computing device that the location of the first computing device cannot be determined.

Abstract: Hybrid mode multicast routing may be provided. A switching device may receive a first join. Next, in response to receiving the first join, states for a first protocol mode (e.g., (S, G)) that is source aware and state for a second protocol mode (e.g., (*, G)) that is not source aware may be programed. Then a second join may be sent based on the states associated with the second protocol mode (e.g., (*, G)).

Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems, including a method for generating executable components. One method includes identifying a user request to create a new function based pre-existing algorithms, the new function to be used in an application used by a user; providing a set of available algorithms from an algorithm library; receiving a selection by a user of an algorithm from the available algorithms; providing a set of available parameters associated with the selected algorithm; receiving an election by the user of one or more parameters from the set of available parameters; generating an executable component in response to receiving the selection of the algorithm and the election of the one or more parameters, the executable component performing the selected algorithm using at least the elected one or more parameters; and storing the executable component for subsequent execution in response to the requested new function.

Abstract: Data sets are analyzed to discover trends and determine predictive data models. A data model is determined based on analyzing the data set with a specific algorithm from a set of different analytical algorithms. The data model is stored in a structural file format. The data model is converted into an instantiated object model with the use of a predefined object model. The instantiated object model is converted into an in-database analysis model to score new data within a database system. The scoring is based on the logic in the data model. The in-database analysis model is stored on a database server part of a database system to provide analytical functionality defined in the data model. The new data can be scored with the in-database analysis model. The new data is not extracted from the database system and the scoring is accomplished in-memory.

Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for policy-based content insertion. A client device transmits to a content server a request for the delivery of content. The content server modifies the request based on an ingress policy. The content server transmits the modified request to a second server where the second server processes the request. The second server transmits a reply to the modified request to the content server. The reply includes a content insertion instruction. The content server transmits the content to the client device based on the content insertion instruction and/or one or more egress policies.

Abstract: Providing fail_over call processing services by sniffing signaling traffic, without the overhead of configuring/provisioning terminals (phones), call servers etc. According to an aspect of the present invention, the integrated device operates as a backup call server when external call servers are unavailable. In one embodiment, the integrated device checks whether a first call server, to which a call setup request is destined to, is available, and forwards the request to another call server if the first call server is unavailable. According to another aspect, the integrated device detects the access information of each terminal registering with a call server, and uses the detected information to provide responses to call setup requests when the call servers are unavailable. As a result, the IP phones in a local network can continue initiating calls even when call servers located at remote sites, become unavailable.

Abstract: In one example, multimedia content is requested from a plurality of storage modules. Each storage module retrieves the requested parts, which are typically stored on a plurality of storage devices at each storage module. Each storage module determines independently when to retrieve the requested parts of the data file from storage and transmits those parts from storage to a data queue. Based on a capacity of a delivery module and/or the data rate associated with the request, each storage module transmits the parts of the data file to the delivery module. The delivery module generates a sequenced data segment from the parts of the data file received from the plurality of storage modules and transmits the sequenced data segment to the requester.

Abstract: A workflow execution framework is generated to execute a received workflow. The workflow is semantically analyzed to determine workflow chain and associated workflow components. To execute the workflow chain, a terminal component in the workflow chain and a corresponding sequential hierarchy of the workflow components are detected. A result descriptor of a data source component corresponding to the terminal component is computed and stored in an execution state table. Result descriptors are computed for the workflow components succeeding the data source component in the sequential hierarchy and are stored in the execution state table. Upon detecting a dataflow between the data source component and one of the succeeding workflow components, data along each row of the execution state table is extracted to process the one of the succeeding workflow components. The workflow is executed by processing the workflow components associated with the workflow chain, thereby executing the workflow chain.
