Abstract: A system and method of selectively migrating at least one virtual machine to another physical machine is disclosed. Consumption information of a plurality of virtual machines and capacity information of a plurality of physical machines is retrieved. A first virtual machine to be potentially migrated is identified based on a consumption metric representing consumption of at least one resource dimension by the first virtual machine running on a first physical machine. A second physical machine to potentially accept migration of the first virtual machine is identified based on time window information, wherein an available capacity of the second physical machine is analyzed to determine if the first virtual machine's resource consumption exceeds the capacity of the second physical machine. The first virtual machine is migrated to the second physical machine if the first virtual machine's resource consumption does not exceed the available capacity of the second physical machine.

Abstract: System and method for analyzing driver behavior based on telematics data are disclosed. In an example, a probability of a user driving a vehicle is computed and a risk score is generated to develop at least one driver profile based on the probability. Further, routes taken by said user driving said vehicle are clustered to generate enhanced driver profile and using the clustered output to develop dynamic intelligent contexts for each said route and adding contextual intelligence messages to customize said risk score. Furthermore, the routes taken by the said user in real time are predicted. In addition, a missing route is identified through imputation of missed routes to compute annualized mileage, and a missing distance is imputed in an analysis of at least one trip of the driver in the vehicle. Also, independent trips are stitched based on at least one recommendation from an analytics engine.

Abstract: Speaker content generated in an audio conference is selectively and visually represented. A profile for each audience member who participates in the audio conference is obtained. Speaker content spoken during the audio conference is monitored. Different weights are applied to words included in the speaker content according to a parameter of the profile for each of the audience members. A relation between the speaker content to the profile for each of the audience members is determined. Visual representations of the speaker content are presented to selective members among the audience members based on the determined relation.

Abstract: A method and system for distributed messaging between a plurality of computer devices using a shortrange wireless communication protocol (SRWP) is disclosed. The communication protocol can be one in which slave devices provide data to master devices. A device automatically establishes master and slave connections with other devices via the protocol as they come into range. A user-entered message is displayed on the device and broadcast by the device over slave connections to other connected devices. Messages received by the device over its master connections are displayed and also rebroadcast to other connected devices. Messages can be displayed for a limited time period during which they fade or otherwise are altered to provide a visual indication of the display lifetime remaining for that message. A relay can be provided to receive an rebroadcast messages to connected devices and inject into the SRWP network from devices outside the network.

Abstract: Speaker content generated in an audio conference is selectively visually represented. A profile for each audience member who participates in the audio conference is obtained. Speaker content spoken during the audio conference is monitored. Words of the speaker content are classified to have different weights according to a parameter of the profile for each of the audience members. A relation between the speaker content to the profile for each of the audience members is determined. Different visual representations of the speaker content are presented to different ones of the audience members based on the determined relation.

Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, an apparatus comprises: a hard disk drive input/output (HDD I/O) optimizer configured to receive a primary input/output (I/O) operation stream for a given cylinder in a permanent storage device, configured to schedule a secondary input/output (I/O) operation stream that is pending on the same given cylinder or that is pending on an adjacent cylinder that is adjacent to the given cylinder, and configured to allocate free space from the same given cylinder or from the adjacent cylinder for the secondary I/O operation stream that is pending.

Abstract: An application programming interface is provided that allows applications to request and receive distance measurements from multiple proximity sensors arranged on a computing device such as a smart phone or tablet. Users can input ranges of values to the applications by moving objects such as hands and fingers towards and away one or more of the multiple proximity sensors. Applications can use the ranges of values provided by the proximity sensors to allow for more nuanced and precise user interfaces than what is typically available using the binary output associated with a capacitive display. The values provided by the proximity sensors can be combined with values from one or more other sensors such as accelerometers to provide additional user interface options.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for storing of network host provided content at a non-host location. In accordance with an embodiment, an event corresponding to storing of at least one network host provided content or web page is detected on a device where a user accessing a browsing application to view the web page. Upon detecting the network host provided content or web page and retrieval information corresponding to the web page is stored at a non-host location in a mapped relationship with each other. The retrieval information is a information of the searchable type based on the information present in the network host provided content.

Abstract: A device may select an enterprise content management (ECM) system for monitoring. The ECM system may include a set of subsystems. The device may monitor the set of subsystems of the ECM system based on selecting the ECM system for monitoring. The device may perform a set of health checks on the set of subsystems based on monitoring the set of subsystems. The set of health checks may include a validation of a set of network addresses associated with the set of subsystems, an analysis of a set of log files associated with the set of subsystems, and a determination of a set of metrics associated with the set of subsystems. The device may generate a health check report based on the set of health checks. The device may provide the health check report.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that use social networking profiles of users to generate personalized content of display pages. The personalized content may be generated using profile data retrieved via an application program interface of a social networking system, and may be presented on the display pages of a distinct system, such as a site that hosts an electronic catalog of items. The personalized content may include features that allow a user to indicate a like or preference for an item and that can be customized based on, e.g., the extent of the user's social network or the influence the user has over other potential users of the catalog system. Systems and methods are also disclosed that use the social networking profiles to generate personalized messages that can be posted to social network contacts of the user to provide information about items for which the contacts may be interested.

Abstract: A mechanism for facilitating customer interactions within a customer service environment provides prompt and accurate answers to customer questions. A smart chat facility for use in a customer service environment to predict a customer problem examines a customer chat transcript to identify customer statements that set forth a customer issue and, responsive to this, can route the customer to an agent, an appropriate FAQ, or can implement a problem specific widget in the customer UI. Customer queries are matched with most correct responses and accumulated knowledge is used to predict a best response to future customer queries. The iterative system thus learns from each customer interaction and can adapt to customer responses over time to improve the accuracy of problem prediction.
