Abstract: Examples herein relate to a state of a multi-access edge computing (MEC) application. Examples disclose the identification of a device that is capable of executing the MEC application. In response to the identification of the device executing the MEC application, caching at a MEC platform within a home network for the device, the state of the MEC application and associated data for the device. The examples transmit the state of the MEC application and associated data to a different MEC platform located outside of the home network.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for recording a port of a telephone number from a first network operator to a second network operator, the method comprising receiving details of the port of the telephone number from the first network operator to the second network operator, including data identifying the port of the telephone number in a record data block, wherein the record data block includes a representation of contents of a previous record data block, and distributing the record data block to the first network operator and/or the second network operator.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for optimizing detection of an intent, pertaining to a query, by an automated conversational bot for providing human like responses to a user. An analyzer module builds an intent graph storing input dialogues, utterances, and output dialogues associated to an intent. A builder module fed training data, comprising the intent graph stored in the graph database to an automated conversational bot by enabling a bot builder to fill a bot template associated to each intent with a set of parameters indicating distinct utterances of an intent and output dialogues associated to the distinct utterances. A verification module trains the automated conversational bot through reinforcement learning by providing a feedback to the automated conversational bot. In one aspect, the automated conversational bot may be trained by validating an output dialogue against an input dialogue, received from the caller, with an expected response.
