Abstract: A method and respective system for determining quality of experience parameters of an encrypted video stream received at a client device is provided. The method comprises extracting, from one or more encrypted video streams sent over a network from a content server to a plurality of client devices, a first instance of at least one stream-related feature. A first instance of at least one quality-related label of a plurality of quality-related labels is determined based on applying a trained classifier to the first instance of the at least one stream-related feature, wherein each of the plurality of quality-related labels corresponds to a respective experience parameter of the quality of experience parameters of the encrypted video stream received at the client device.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed which enable performance of a transaction-based service utilizing non-transactional resources. In one embodiment, a system is provided that includes one or more non-transactional resources. Such resources may, for example, be resources as are commonly implemented within an IDC. The system further includes at least one component that defines one or more tasks executable by at least one of such non-transactional resources. For instance, a plugin component may be developed and communicatively coupled to a resource manager, and such plugin component may define various services (or tasks or “functions”) that may be performed on a non-transactional resource. Thus, such resource manager may call the particular functions defined by the plugin component as needed to perform a requested transaction. The system may further include a resource manager operable to control execution of the tasks defined by such component (e.g., plugin component) as a transaction.
