Abstract: Described are systems and methods of an exhibition management system that automatically creates, maintains, valuates and re-valuates a booth in a venue. Automated valuation and re-valuation is a process of determining an optimal value for the booth. Based on various factors and subsystems, the optimal value is determined. The booth value thus determined is projected to the organizers, prospective exhibitors for sale. Automating such a system increases the booth value, brings in more prospective exhibitors and facilitates (reduces) the manual process carried out by the organizers of such an exhibition.

Abstract: The disclosed badge creation systems and methods aim at reducing queuing time at badge preparation and distribution. The invention discloses creating a pre-printed badge with locally printed label, a partially locally printed badge, a fully locally printed badge, or a combination of these; determining privacy policy compliance for a selected badge type; and specifying a compliant dataset that is privacy policy compliant in accordance with the privacy compliance determination.

Abstract: A cloud marketplace includes a network of data centers that collectively allow users to search and purchase products, including applications and extensions to applications. Each data center supports a marketplace module that executes on computing resources to offer users the products and receive and send product metadata descriptive of the products. Each product has a distribution list which specifies one or more data centers as a potential destination to list the product. The distribution list supports region-specific synchronization of products and product listings and can be updated automatically responsive to region-specific policies or regulations to list, delist, or relist products in one or more regions.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) pivot table that can be embedded in a spreadsheet. A data structure underlying the 3D pivot table contains raw data organized in arrays that can be depicted as two-dimensional (2D) tables. A rendering system combines some or all of the 2D tables into a 3D rendering of a pivot table in which each of the combined sides represents a visible face of the 3D pivot table. A user can split the rendered 3D pivot table along one or three axes to expose internal data elements for viewing or editing. Changes to the values of internal data elements impact values presented in the visible faces of the 3D pivot table.

Abstract: An effective strategy should result in reduced resource consumption in association with an event. Reducing time at a bottleneck in event check-in would be considered a positive result. However, it is desirable to maintain privacy policy compliance. Utilizing the techniques described in this paper reduces time at check-in related to physical badge preparation and distribution while maintaining privacy policy compliance. The system and method can include pre-event activities, event-concurrent activities, and post-event activities related to accuracy, precision, aesthetics, coordination, and learning in association with badge preparation and distribution.
