Abstract: A system for online conversion attribution. The system includes a short uniform resource locator (URL) service programmed to, in response to receiving a short URL from a device: provide a cookie that includes a short URL ID to the device, and provide a short URL descriptor including the short URL ID to a user mapping service. The system further includes the user mapping service programmed to receive the short URL descriptor, receive a social media descriptor including a social media ID, map the short URL ID to the social media ID using the short URL descriptor and the social media descriptor, and attribute, using the mapping, a conversion on a website accessed using the device based upon receipt of the short URL ID from the device.

Abstract: A method for conversion attribution. The method includes obtaining a first identifier associated with a first device, obtaining a second identifier associated with a second device, bridging the first identifier and the second identifier based on a determination, made by a probabilistic classifier, that the first identifier and the second identifier are associated with a common user, and attributing, using the bridge, a conversion on a website accessed using the second device.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of a server application that facilitates selecting a computing device in which to host execution of an application. The selected application host provides application output to a client, and the client provides application input to the application host. In some embodiments, the application server may be a communications proxy between the client and a remote application host.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating anticipatory distribution of applications to a network of remote hosts. A demand for each of the applications is calculated. Based on criteria within the demand and computing resources available, remote hosts are selected to receive the applications. Transmissions of the applications to the selected remote hosts are scheduled and monitored for completion according to the schedule.

Abstract: Techniques can be employed to automate evaluation of video performance. Video frames of a video presentation can be intercepted and information for the intercepted video frames can be recorded. Statistics such as frames per second or mean time before freeze can be calculated without observation by a human tester. An interceptor can be positioned in a componentized video processing chain without disrupting video processing. Components in the chain can be tested on an automated basis.
