Abstract: A distributed monitoring system and a computer-implemented method monitors and controls locally situated network components through a monitoring and control device or processor querying the network component operating parameters and sending control commands for controlling the parameters queried. Reports of the status of the monitored network components are periodically generated from throughout the network and sent to a remotely located status viewing station configured to generate a monitoring interface and display the operational status of the network based on the status reports. If necessary, the status viewing station automatically transmits instructions, or a user enters instructions into the status viewing station, for instructing action be taken by the monitoring and control device or processor, e.g., to adjust one or more operating parameters queried. The distributed monitoring system may be particularly useful in monitoring and managing the health of a digital signage network.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing location specific information. Event data pertaining to an event is received from an event reporting system that has gathered the event data from a data gathering means. The event data includes location identification data, event type data, and event description data. At least one geofence associated with the location identification data is identified from the location identification data in the received event data. Each geofence of the at least one geofence has a geometric shape located within a geographic area. A topic associated with the event type data and associated with the identified at least one geofence is identified. Subscribers having a subscription to the topic in association with the geographic area are identified.

Abstract: Operations include recommending and presenting academic programs for students. An academic program recommendation model generates recommendations based on a target student's specific characteristics. An academic program is recommended to the target student if the target student's characteristics match the characteristics of other students that have successfully completed the academic program. An academic program is not recommended to the target student if the target student's characteristics match the characteristics of other students that have failed to complete the academic program after some threshold period of time. The system presents an interface for comparing multiple academic programs that have been evaluated in view of a target student's specific characteristics. The interface concurrently lists each of a set of academic programs with a corresponding likelihood of success determined for the target student.

Abstract: Operations include identifying students at risk of dropping out or transferring from an academic institution. A student risk analyzer determines a risk score for a student, which may be used to determine whether the student is at-risk. The risk score may be based on a combination of factors. As an example, the risk score may be based on a similarity between (a) attributes of the student and (b) attributes of students that have previously dropped out or transferred to other institutions. A student retention interface displays risk information for students in aggregate form or individual form. The interface may display student information in a student-population view comprising aggregate student information. The interface may display a risk-category view comprising a subset of students. The interface may display an individual-profile view comprising detailed information about a particular student. The interface may allow for drill-down navigation between the views.

Abstract: An event management system generates and displays an event schedule for an attendee. An initial order of the event schedule is based on (a) events already completed by the attendee, (b) events to be completed by the attendee to meet an event completion target, and (c) a set of ordering rules associated with the set of events to be completed by the attendee. The event management system may include an interface for modifying the event schedule in accordance with the set of ordering rules. The interface may include an initial set of events, in an initial order with respect to a timeline. The event management system may receive user input including a proposed modification to the initial order of the events. The event management system may or may not permit the proposed modification based on the set of ordering rules.

Abstract: Operations include aggregating, analyzing, and displaying information about prospects for an educational institution. The system may aggregate prospect information by traversing, for example, lower education databases, social networking websites, or testing organization databases. The system may evaluate prospects which are potential applicants to generate recommendations for contact by a recruiter. Alternatively, or additionally, the system may evaluate prospects which have applied for admission to the institution to generate recommendations for acceptance by an admission officer. The system may recommend a prospect based on the prospect's potential for success in the institution. Success may correspond to metrics such as a likelihood of graduating from the educational institution or a likelihood of obtaining employment subsequent to graduating from the institution. Prospects sharing attributes with previously successful students may be selected for recommendation.

Abstract: An event recommendation system recommends events for a candidate attendee. The system recommends an event based on characteristics of the candidate attendee and characteristics of prior attendees that attended a prior occurrence of the event. A prior attendee may have a positive or negative experience with the prior occurrence of the event. A positive experience may be defined, for example, as enjoying the event, completing the event, or performing well in the event. A negative experience may be defined, for example, as not enjoying the event, not completing the event, or not performing well in the event. An event is recommended to a candidate attendee if the candidate attendee has similar characteristics to a prior attendee that had a positive experience. An event is not recommended to a candidate attendee if the candidate attendee has similar characteristics as a prior attendee that had a negative experience.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or computer program products for publishing a spot for display on digital signage at a target location and a target time according to a rule set are disclosed. Certain implementations relate to updating the spot, target digital signage location, and target playback time based on input received from a user. The updates to the spot may be verified by comparing a permissions level of the user to rules regarding the modification of the spot.
