Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automatically detecting anomalies in the content of a scheduled social media post, alerting a user to the presence of such anomalies before the content is posted and recommending a course of action when an anomaly is detected. A set of keywords is extracted from a scheduled post using an ontological classification technique. At predetermined time intervals, the keywords are compared with information obtained from one or more data sources to determine if an anomaly is present. If an anomaly is detected, the scheduled post is classified into one of at least three categories: supporting the post, neutral, or opposing the post. Once the anomaly is detected and the scheduled post is classified, the author of the post is alerted to the anomaly along with the categorization. Subsequently, the author may reschedule the post to an earlier or later time, delete the post, or change the post.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for associating social data with user profiles. In one or more implementations, a social post is targeted to a population of users on a social network. The social post includes a link to a resource, such as a website. The resource is then monitored for user access via the link. When a user accesses the resource, social data corresponding to the social post is associated with a user profile of the user. The social data can include targeting parameters of the social post, such as an age, sex, or location of users to which the social post is targeted. The social data may also include other parameters related to the content of the social post, such as one or more topics of the social post.

Abstract: A moderating system is disclosed for providing publishing guidance for proposed online content prior to publishing that content. The system is configured to, for a given post to be published and a target audience, automatically determine the topic of the post and compare the emotion associated with that post with the trending emotion associated with the target audience, for that particular topic. In one such embodiment, the comparison of the post emotion and the target audience emotion is accomplished by determining the similarity between two emotion histograms (one based on the post and one based on the target audience) using vector similarity measures and other suitable similarity estimation techniques. Each of the post emotion and the trending emotion within the target audience for the topic can be represented by multiple emotions (e.g., emotion pair based on Plutchik's emotion model, or other advanced emotion indicator).

Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for scheduling multiple social media posts to maximize engagement and on-site activity. The method comprises accessing a plurality of posts and scheduling information for the plurality of posts, wherein the scheduling information comprises a time period during which the plurality of posts is to be scheduled for posting on an online social media site; predicting a response to each post at a plurality of times that fall within the time period; and scheduling, based on the predicted responses to each post, a time to post each post of the plurality of posts, wherein scheduling maximizes the predicted response to each post.

Abstract: Selected processes are associated with sets of specific network addresses, and the associations are stored. When a selected process creates a child process, an association between the child process and the set of network addresses with which the parent process is associated is stored. When a selected process is deleted, the association between the selected process and its set of network addresses is deleted. Each selected process is restricted to network address-based communication via its associated set of network addresses. Certain communication protocol subroutines associated with network address-based communication are intercepted by an interception module. The interception module detects attempts by selected processes to communicate via network addresses. If a selected process attempts to communicate via an unassociated network addresses, the attempted communication is prohibited.

Abstract: Database content changes are asynchronously remotely copied from a primary site to a remote site by associating sequential identification with each respective log record write and each corresponding data record write received at the primary site. Each respective log record write is asynchronously remotely copied from the primary site to the remote site, and an acknowledgement corresponding to a log record write that has been completed at the remote site is received at the primary site. Each data record write having a sequential identification that is prior to or equal to the sequential identification of the log record write corresponding to the received acknowledgement is then asynchronously remotely copied to the remote site. A log record write is asynchronously remotely copied from the primary site to the remote site before a data record write is asynchronously remotely copied from the primary site to the remote site.

Abstract: Signaling messages are exchanged for a call between a calling party to a called party. A setup message for the call is exchanged through at least one gate controller. Network resources are reserved for the call based on the exchanged setup messages. An end-to-end message for the call is exchanged without the end-to-end message being routed through the at least one gate controller.

Abstract: A method and system for generating ranking criteria used to rank items in a computer system. The ranking criteria is based, at least in part, on storage information related to each of the items to be ranked. The storage information includes a storage parameter and/or a backup parameter. In one embodiment, a list of items is received in which storage information associated with each of the items is gathered. The items are ranked according to a relationship between the determined ranking criteria and at least the storage information associated with each of the items.

Abstract: There is provided a method and system to asynchronously remotely copy database content changes from a primary site to a remote site utilizing consistency groups. Log information and data are separated. When log information and data are copied to the remote site, the log information is given priority over data. Data is not copied for the current consistency group for which log information is in the process of being copied, until all log information in the current consistency group has been copied. Thus, only data included as part of the consistency groups for which all log information has been copied, is copied to the remote site. Because most logs are written sequentially, copying the log blocks immediately does not result in a larger amount of data being copied. In addition, since the log block has been copied over at the earliest instant possible, the extent of data loss has been reduced to the minimum possible in an asynchronous system.

Abstract: A method facilitates providing appropriate quality of service guarantees to a plurality of virtual hosts on a single physical host computer. A server application program and its child processes service communication requests made to the plurality of virtual hosts. Quality of service parameters associated with the virtual hosts are stored. Communication requests made to a specific one of the virtual hosts are detected. The quality of service parameters associated with the specific virtual host are obtained. Operating system resources are utilized to guarantee, to a child process of the server application program, a quality of service according to the obtained quality of service parameters associated with the virtual host. Communication between the virtual host and the client is allowed to proceed, the communication being managed by the child process.

Abstract: A method and system allows a service provider to provide Intranet services remotely by assigning private virtual servers to customers. Each customer addresses transmissions to one or more private virtual servers using private addresses from the customer's private Intranet. The addresses of different private virtual servers do not have to be unique and may overlap. Customers exchange privately-addressed transmissions with the service provider using tunnels to traverse the local or regional network connecting the customer with the service provider. The service provider routes the transmissions to the relevant private virtual server belonging to the customer that sent the transmission. The service provider also routes privately-addressed transmissions back to individual customers using tunnels.
