Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to providing, based on a partial query string, a plurality of autosuggestions that are diverse in nature such that the user is more likely to see the preferred complete query terms and therefore more likely to select one of the preferred suggestions which will increase search efficiency. As described herein, such functionality relates to generating cluster groups of candidate suggestions, each cluster including sub-topics, then performing the search based on a selected cluster or sub-topic. To generate the cluster groups, systems and methods, as described herein, analyze the similarity between candidate suggestions as well as the popularity of generated sub-topics. The cluster groups and sub-topics may be displayed visually, and in certain embodiments the cluster groups are ordered vertically from top to bottom and aligned to the left side of the display, while sub-topics are ordered horizontally from left to right following the cluster label.

Abstract: A system may include a database disposed within a remote network management platform, a server device disposed in the platform, and a client device. The database may contain representations of configuration items, such as computing devices and software applications associated with the managed network. The server device may provide a graphical user interface including a sequence of panes to the client device. The sequence of panes may include an identifier pane, an identification rules pane, and a reconciliation pane. Each pane may include data entry fields that are operable to define a new class of configuration item. The server device may receive, by way of the graphical user interface, a definition of the new class that uniquely identifies configuration items of a particular type using at least the attributes.

Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for managing multiple cloud-delivered services. An integration adapter may receive, from a first cloud-delivered service, event data describing an event at the first cloud-delivered service. The integration adapter may send a request for data objects for responding to the event to a determination engine executing at the data distribution computing system. The determination engine may determine a first data object and a second data object responsive to the request for data objects. The integration adapter may replicate the first data object from a database management system to generate a first replicated data object and replicate the second data object from a second cloud-delivered service to generate a second replicated data object. The integration adapter may send the first replicated data object and the second replicated data object to a target cloud-delivered service.

Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing and/or treating visual disorders, such as discorder in accommodative ability and/or vergence ability, of a person are provided. Assessment and training exercises can be performed utilizing a computerized system in communication with a head-mountable display (HMD), such as a virtual or augmented reality display, which can display visual targets at various vergence and accommodative demands. Lenses, such as inverted bifocal lenses, may be used in combination with the HMD to mimic natural accommodative demand during viewing or to enable assessment and treatment of accommodation disorders. Corrective factors can be calculated and utilized for generation of visual targets to account for lens characteristics and/or interpupillary distance mismatch.

Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing vision and correcting vision problems are provided. A head-mountable virtual reality display controlled via a computing device can be worn by a user to display virtual reality images to the user. The images can be displayed as part of an interactive and engaging activity that can be used to determine a value of a certain parameter of the user's eyes. The activity can also be intended as a treatment procedure during which user's eyes are trained to perceive objects having certain properties that unassisted eyes of the user are normally not able to perceive. User input is acquired to determine user's perception of the displayed virtual reality images. The computing device can be a smartphone configured to perform the vision tests or treatment under control of a remote computing device operated by a trained clinician.

Abstract: A method includes generating a first shortest path tree for traffic routing in a network, the first shortest path tree identifying a corresponding shortest path from the network node to other nodes in the network and generating a second shortest path tree for traffic routing after removing an element from the network. The second shortest path tree identifies a corresponding shortest path from the network node to the other nodes in the network with the element removed. A third shortest path tree is generated, which is a weighted version of the second shortest path tree with a weight value added to any node or link in the network sharing a SRLG value with the element removed from the network. Network traffic is enforced based on a comparison of the third shortest path tree with at least one of the first shortest path tree and the second shortest path tree.

Abstract: Adaptive control of deadline-constrained workload migrations can include monitoring migrations of workloads forming a wave migrating from a source computing node to a target computing node. The monitoring can be performed in real time. The migrations can be performed by transferring image replications of each workload over a data communication network. Based on an expected bandwidth availability, a likelihood that a cutover deadline associated with the wave is exceeded prior to completing a migration of each of the wave's workloads can be predicted. Migration of one or more selected workloads can be suspended in response to determining that exceeding the cutover deadline prior to completing migration of each of the wave's workloads is likely.
