Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for increasing the overall network performance experienced by a group of devices by forming a dynamic and collaborative cluster of computing devices. In particular, the computing devices within the cluster collectively may identify and leverage the current capabilities of each of the individual members of the cluster to respond efficiently to network resource requests from computing devices inside or outside the cluster. As such, various embodiments provide for a dynamic cluster of computing devices that tailor the responsibilities of the members of the cluster to the current capabilities, capacities, and state of these computing devices. In particular, devices in the cluster may participate dynamically in the cluster to ensure that a device in the cluster that is currently most suited to performing a task is the device selected to perform that task.

Abstract: A method for managing communication requests includes receiving tag information from a user of a communication device, and associating the tag with a communication device. The tag information includes criteria for determining whether the tag applies to an incoming communication request and one or more actions to be taken in response to the communication request after determining that the tag applies. The method further includes receiving a request from a caller for a communication session with the communication device, determining whether criteria for the tag have been met by the communication request, and if the criteria for the tag have been met, taking the specified actions in response to the communication request.
