Abstract: Simulation data can be generated using a linear curve simplification and reverse simplification technique. The linear curve simplification and reverse simplification technique can facilitate the generation of simulation data from existing data where the simulation data will exhibit the same curve pattern as the existing data but with a degree of variation. In this way, varying sets of simulation data for a particular environment can be easily generated.

Abstract: Systems and techniques to monitor performance of a single user session of an application installed in a client device are described. The application may transmit a request for data to a first server, and receive a response from the first server, the response including the requested data. The application may transmit, to a second server, (i) a transmit time at which the request is transmitted, and (ii) a receive time at which the response is received. The second server may facilitate displaying, on a computing device, the transmit time and the receive time. A developer may view such display to analyze the performance of the application during a single user session.
