Abstract: A load balancing device and method for an edge computing network are provided. The device performs the following operations: (a) calculating a computing time of each edge device and an average computing time of them, (b) determining a first edge device from the edge devices, wherein the computing time of the first edge device is greater than the average computing time, (c) determining a second edge device from the edge devices, wherein the computing time of the second edge device is less than the average computing time, and the current stored data amount of the second edge device is lower than the maximum stored capacity of the second edge device, (d) instructing the first edge device to move a portion of the training dataset to the second edge device, and (e) updating the current stored data amount of each of the first edge device and the second edge device.

Abstract: A system and method for correlating personal identifiers with corresponding online presence are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes providing, by use of a data processor, a user interface to enable a user to specify a person or personal identifier of interest; producing search terms associated with the person or personal identifier of interest; using the search terms in a search query to obtain related search results collected from a plurality of content sources; filtering the search results to obtain information indicative of a plurality of profile sources; using the information indicative of a plurality of profile sources to obtain related profiles collected from a plurality of profile sources; filtering the related profiles to obtain a set of matching profiles; and reporting information on the person or personal identifier of interest and links to the corresponding matching profiles to the user.

Abstract: A system for protecting a network from a traffic surge includes a data collection module, an allocation module, and a traffic flow module. The data collection module is configured to obtain network utilization information for a plurality of traffic flows. The allocation module is configured to determine a bandwidth allocation to minimize a drop probability for the plurality of traffic flows. The traffic flow module is configured to preferentially drop network packets for a traffic flow exceeding the optimal bandwidth allocation.
