20150100599 | User-Powered Recommendation System - Recommendation systems are widely used in Internet applications. In current recommendation systems, users only play a passive role and have limited control over the recommendation generation process. As a result, there is often considerable mismatch between the recommendations made by these systems and the actual user interests, which are fine-grained and constantly evolving. With a user-powered distributed recommendation architecture, individual users can flexibly define fine-grained communities of interest in a declarative fashion and obtain recommendations accurately tailored to their interests by aggregating opinions of users in such communities. By combining a progressive sampling technique with data perturbation methods, the recommendation system is both scalable and privacy-preserving. | 2015-04-09 |

A realistic mix of network traffic is simulated on the communications network. The performance of the system under test under load is tested. Accordingly, a real-world test of the system under test is provided. | 2015-04-09 |
20150100694 | USE OF ITERATIVE LEARNING FOR RESOLVING SCALABILITY ISSUES OF BANDWIDTH BROKER - A centralized bandwidth broker (a special network server) functioning as a domain manager in an internet network having differentiated services architecture is responsible for receiving and replying to a large number of requests and for performing huge numbers of resource management tasks at the inter- and intra-domain level. Consequently, it can have scalability issues. According to the invention the bandwidth broker maintains an experience database in addition to information about other aspects of the network, and uses iterative learning for solving scalability issues by using information of previous good experiences to take future resource management decisions. Based on similarity with previous network and request conditions, the new decision can be taken without executing resource intensive algorithms. The database of experience is continuously updated for optimized iterative learning. Processing overhead is reduced, enabling a single bandwidth broker to manage big networks with large numbers of users. | 2015-04-09 |
20150100695 | METHOD OF INTEGRATING NETWORK STORAGE SPACES AND CONTROL SYSTEM THEREOF - A method of integrating a plurality of network storage spaces includes: receiving data in a single user interface; dividing the data into a plurality of sub-data, wherein the plurality of sub-data correspond to the plurality of network storage spaces, respectively; and uploading each of the plurality of sub-data to a corresponding network storage space among the plurality of network storage spaces. | 2015-04-09 |
20150100696 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, CONVERGED COMMUNICATION NODE, AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING CLOUD SERVICE - A communication system for supporting a cloud service comprising: a communication node connected to a network; an IDC connected to the network; a converged communication apparatus connected to the network and configured to interact with the IDC to integrally manage a resource stored in the IDC, and, upon a receipt of a request for the cloud service, to interact with the communication node to transfer the resource to a user who makes the cloud service request or a service provider which makes the cloud service request. | 2015-04-09 |
20150100697 | SESSION EXECUTION DECISION - A method includes a dispersed storage (DS) processing module receiving a request. The method continues by identifying a session associated with the request. The method continues by queueing one or more tasks associated with the request. The method continues by determining whether the session is still active. When the session is not active, the method continues by cancelling the one or more tasks associated with the session prior to execution. When the session is still active, the method continues by executing the first task of the one or more tasks when a task resource is available. | 2015-04-09 |
20150100698 | EXTENSIBLE MECHANISMS FOR WORKLOAD SHAPING AND ANOMALY MITIGATION - Techniques and mechanisms for servicing requests for utilization of resources within a computing environment. A request is received from a remote electronic computing device with a regulator agent. The regulator functions to determine whether to regulate a request or to allow the request to be delivered without regulation. Regulating the request includes causing the request to be rejected, re-routed, isolated or delayed. Selectively regulating the request with the regulator based at least on application-level resources to be utilized by the application server in response to the request. Sending the request to a regulation server or to a computing device to provide an application server communicatively coupled with the regulator server depending on the regulation to be performed, if any. | 2015-04-09 |
