Abstract: Systems, methods, and media are provided for the selective indication of the presence of off-screen objects in the shared gaming environment of a multiplayer game played on a mobile device. The shared gaming environment can include a game space and a plurality of objects located at various places of the game space. The player may view a portion of the game space via a screen view presented by the mobile device. The screen view can be bordered by a frame area that includes a portion of the game space that is outside of the screen view. Based on a predetermined rule set, the presence of an object that is located within the frame area can be selectively indicated within the screen view by a visual indicator, such as an icon. The visual indicator can be assembled from a library of elements to visually communicate contextually relevant information to the player.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for providing a domain-specific visualization of message content. Unclassified messages are received for a sender and a real-time classifier is used to assign categories to the messages. User interactions with email can then be used to generate a ranked list of domain-specific senders. This ranked list of senders and classified emails can then be used to provide a domain-specific view to a user. Further features (e.g., aggregated content pages by sender, dynamic call-to-action buttons, message previews etc.) can then be built on top of the ranked senders and messages.

Abstract: A technique for deploying an application in a cloud computing environment includes collecting, when a user is deploying an application, metadata and instructions on deploying the application. The metadata includes service metadata, application metadata and topology metadata, where the service metadata includes metadata on a service required for deploying the application, the application metadata includes metadata on the application, and the topology metadata includes metadata indicative of a relationship between the service and the application. The collected metadata and instructions are stored as a model for re-deploying the application.
