  • Publication number: 20210258370
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for providing to user devices identifiers of edge servers from which to obtain content. One example system includes a traffic control service. The traffic control service is configured to receive polling requests from user devices. In response to a particular polling request, the traffic control service obtains aggregated data about the user devices and edge servers. The traffic control service selects, based on the aggregated data, a best edge server for the user device that sent the particular polling request. The traffic control service sends an identifier of the selected best edge server to the user device.

  • Publication number: 20140280329
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with a record via a single user interface. The user interface includes a publisher and an information feed. A user may request to interact with the record from the publisher. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the record to update the record. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update. One or more entities may be cross-referenced with the feed item so that the same feed item is provided in the feeds of each of the one or more entities. Identification of the entities to be cross-referenced with the feed item can come from data defined by a user in a payload, data defined by a system administrator, and/or record relationship information in a database system.

  • Publication number: 20130166619
    Abstract: A request to access an action of a workflow from a number of business intelligence (BI) workflows in a computer system is received, where the action of the workflow is encoded. A generator encodes the action in generic syntax to identify and locate the action. The generator encodes the action of the workflow based on context parameters associated with the action. An interpreter interprets the encoded action of the workflow and processes the context parameters associated with the action. In response to the access request, the action of the workflow is launched.
