Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for managing connections of user devices in a network-based conference. A context associated with a transmission of a first data stream in the plurality of data streams to a first user device is monitored. A context associated with a transmission of a second data stream to a second user device is monitored. The first and second user devices are communicatively connected to a network-based conference. Based on the monitoring of the contexts associated with respective transmissions of the first and second data streams, at least one first parameter of the first data stream to the first user device and at least one second parameter of the second data stream to the second user device are adjusted. The adjusted first data stream to the first user device and the adjusted second data stream to the second user device are transmitted.

Abstract: Methods and systems for recommending one or more computing devices for accessing one or more applications are described herein. Resource requirements may be determined for at least one application. Such resource requirements may be, e.g., a display resolution. Computing device attributes may be determined for computing devices capable of executing the application.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to update for a configuration file. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed. According to the method, a first container image and a second container image are obtained. The first container image comprise a first sequence of layers built based on a sequence of commands in a configuration file, respectively, and the second container image comprise a second sequence of layers built based on the sequence of commands, respectively. File dependency between at least two commands of the sequence of commands is determined by comparing files associated with the first sequence of layers with files associated with the second sequence of layers. An update to the sequence of commands in the configuration file is determined based on the file dependency. In other embodiments, a system and a computer program product are disclosed.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems, methods and computer implemented instructions for prioritizing sequential application tasks. A system receives, from an application, a sequence of tasks to be performed by users using clients. The system identifies a first user to perform a first task in the sequence of tasks, and a second user to perform a second task in the sequence of tasks that is subsequent to the first task. The system determines the state of a first client of the first user and a state of a second client of the second user. The system establishes a rank for the first task based on the states of the first client and the second client. The system provides, to the first client, the rank for the first task and the state of the second client. The system generates a graphical user interface indicating the rank and state of the second client.

Abstract: Provided is a method for preventing deadlocks between competing threads. The method includes receiving a lock request from a first thread and, in response, identifying a potential deadlock with a second thread. In response, the method includes determining whether to deny the lock request, which includes: determining whether a first duration for which the first thread will hold the lock to complete its job is longer than a second duration for which the second thread will hold the lock to complete its job; determining whether the second thread will start to use the lock soon relative to the first duration; and determining whether both the first and second threads will complete their respective jobs within a time limit if the lock is denied to the first thread while the second thread completes its job. The method further includes denying the request for the requested lock from the first thread.

Abstract: The present application provides a multi-frame quality enhancement method and device for a lossily compressed video. The method comprises: performing quality enhancement on the i-th frame of a decompressed video stream using m frames correlated with the i-th frame to play the i-th frame with enhanced quality. The m frames are frames in the video stream. The number of the same pixels or corresponding pixels of each of the m frames and the i-th frame is greater than a preset threshold. m is a natural number greater than 1. In an implementation, a non-peak-quality frame positioned between two peak quality frames may be enhanced using the peak quality frames. The method may mitigate the quality fluctuation across a plurality of frames for providing playback of the video stream and may improve the quality of all frames in the video after the lossy compression.
