Abstract: Some embodiments provide self-organizing retail resource load sharing systems comprising: a cluster of a set of node systems that receive resource requests; multiple different resource systems that implement predefined tasks consistent with the resource requests; wherein the node systems: access a valid ownership allocation configuration; confirm when a first node system is currently defined as the owner of a first resource system and authorizing activation of the corresponding first resource system when the resource request is intended for the first resource system; and cause the first node system to operate as a proxy and communicate the first resource request to a different embedded allocation application on a second node system that currently owns a second resource system when the first resource request is intended for the second resource system.

Abstract: A method of operation of a navigation system includes: generating a geographic band with a control unit; generating a point of interest ranking based on a point of interest within the geographic band; calculating a point of interest score based on a band score, a diversity score, a popularity score, or a combination thereof; and updating the point of interest ranking based on the point of interest score for presenting on a device.

Abstract: Generating replay of a webpage is provided. In response to determining that a document object model (DOM) replay of the webpage is a differential DOM replay, a base DOM of the webpage, base DOM differentials of the webpage, and user interactions with the webpage are retrieved. The base DOM of the webpage is patched with the base DOM differentials of the webpage to generate a patched DOM corresponding to the webpage. The user interactions with the webpage are overlaid on the patched DOM to generate the replay of the webpage.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for the replay of RWD designed Web sites. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for replaying RWD designed Web sites is provided. The method includes recording in a replay server different events received from end user interactions with different RWD Web pages of a Web site rendered in a display of the end user from over a computer communications network. The method also includes identifying display dimensions of the display and storing the display dimensions in connection with the recorded different events. The method yet further includes rendering one or more of the RWD Web pages of the Web site in a renderer coupled to the replay server using the stored display dimensions. Finally, the method includes replaying the stream of events by the replay server in the renderer.
