Abstract: A system and method for advertisers to run multiple advertisement campaigns across several locations without having to configure each campaign on a per location basis is provided. The system may determine and assign budget, target radius, duration, pricing, times of day, etc., for each ad campaign and each location. These settings are not only configured at the time of initial setup, but may also be changed dynamically to adjust for actual results and to account for time-dependent variables. In being changed dynamically, the settings may be changed periodically or aperiodically (e.g., based on events or thresholds being crossed). The setup and updates of the budget, target radius, duration pricing, times of day, etc., may be performed using an optimization algorithm, in one embodiment, based on historical information and current campaign performance, respectively.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for preserving, from resource management adjustment, portions of an overcommitted resource managed by a hypervisor are provided. Embodiments include identifying, by the hypervisor, a privileged guest from among a plurality of guests of the hypervisor; identifying, by the hypervisor, portions of the overcommitted resource that are allocated to the privileged guest; and preventing, by the hypervisor, resource management adjustment to the identified portions of the overcommitted resource that are allocated to the privileged guest.
