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. The resource requirements and/or the computing device attributes may be normalized and/or modified based on machine learning techniques. The machine learning techniques may modify the application resource requirements and/or computing device attributes based on user feedback. Distances between the resource requirements and the computing device attributes may be determined. A recommendation to use a particular preferred computing device may be transmitted based on the distance comparison. The recommendation may be based on the minimum or maximum distance calculated. User feedback regarding the recommendation may be received.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for grouping topics for users from different communication platforms are described herein. For example, a computing device may receive, from a user and via a communication platform, a request for sending content associated with the communication platform to the computing device.

The workspace score may be used to help a user make better use of applications on a remote workspace. The workspace score may be based on factors of user behavior. These factors may include such things as the immersion dimension, mature dimension, vendor preference dimension, discovery dimension, and others. These factors may monitor such things as the amount of features used in the remote workspace compared with the available features, the amount of applications used on a remote desktop workspace when compared with the amount of applications used on the local client device, and the amount of applications used by a preferred vendor, among others.

Abstract: A tracking engine may respond to a first user requesting to pin a link included in a message received from a second user by storing the link in a database table associated with the first user. Alternatively, if the first user requests to clone the link, the tracking engine may store the link in the database table as well as generate a local copy of a file associated with the link. The tracking engine may generate, based on the database table, a user interface for displaying, at a client associated with the first user, one or more links received by the first user. The tracking engine may update the database table to mark or remove invalid links. As such, the user interface that is generated based on the database table may exclude invalid links or include unselectable user interface elements for the invalid links.
