    摘要: Comparative decision systems and methods are disclosed for gathering and mining data representative of purchase decisions. One disclosed comparative decision system detects when a user is comparing items and provides the user with the ability to create a research note storing comparative information for the alternative items. The system displays information about items according to a variety of factors. The user can customize the factors and enter information for each alternative item according to the various factors. Some information may be pre-populated by the system. The research note may be made visible to other users, and may be suggested to another user based on the note's expected helpfulness and relevance to that user. One disclosed method for mining data stored within research notes identifies which factors are given higher relative priorities by users considering a purchase. Another mining method analyzes the effects of price changes on item popularity.

    摘要: A system for transferring digital information to spatially localizable portable electronic devices has a plurality of portable electronic devices, with each portable electronic device supporting wireless communication. A spatial localizing module determines spatial location with submeter precision for each of the plurality of electronic devices, and a communication module is connected to the spatial localizing module for mediating wireless communication between the portable electronic devices. A user can define electronic data transfers between portable electronic devices in user determined spatial locations with submeter precision. Data transfers are possible to adjacent electronic devices, electronic devices within a defined radius, electronic devices along a defined bearing or having specific orientations, or even located within a defined set of regions or rooms.

    摘要: Write operations for weakly consistent replicated database systems have embedded conflict detection and conflict resolution procedures for identifying and resolving, respectively conflicts between such write operations and the current state of any given instance of such a database. These write operations are committed to a firm execution order by the host for one instance of such a database, and this execution order propagates to the other instances of the database. Accordingly, a write log distinguishes between the writes that are known to be committed to a firm execution order (the "tentative writes") is maintained for each instance of the database, thereby enabling the user to explicitly identifying the stable data and the potentially unstable data in any given instance of the database. Furthermore, provision is made for enabling users to select from a set of predefined consistency guarantees across all instances of such a database for any given session.

    摘要: The present invention provides client-selected consistency guarantees to clients of a weakly consistent replicated database on a per "session" basis. The clients have access to utilities which allow the clients to, individually or collectively, define a "session" over which the selected guarantees are enforced. A "session" is broadly defined as a sequence of logically related Reads and Writes to the database. Sessions are initiated and terminated substantially independently of other sessions which may exist concurrently. Clients are allowed, however, to clone sessions and/or merge sessions with other clients. Clients select a minimum relevant subset of guarantees from among a set of pre-defined consistency guarantees, where "relevancy" is a client determined factor. At any given time, the system may be enforcing a number of different combinations of consistency guarantees. The guarantees ensure that all clients participating in a particular session view the database as having certain conditions of data consistency--the consistency of which is only provided with respect to the participants' Read and Write requests. Clients are allowed to downgrade their selected guarantees during the course of their sessions. One implementation of the present invention permits the selection of any one of four consistency guarantees.

    摘要翻译: 本发明在每个“会话”的基础上向弱一致的复制数据库的客户端提供客户选择的一致性保证。 客户可以访问实用程序,这些实用程序允许客户单独或集体定义执行所选保证的“会话”。 “会话”被广泛地定义为数据库的逻辑相关的读取和写入序列。 会话的启动和终止基本上独立于可能同时存在的其他会话。 但是,允许客户端克隆会话和/或与其他客户端合并会话。 客户从一组预定义的一致性保证中选择最小相关的担保子集,其中“相关性”是客户确定的因素。 在任何给定的时间,系统可能会执行许多不一致性保证的组合。 保证确保参与特定会话的所有客户都将数据库视为具有某些数据一致性的条件 - 其一致性仅针对参与者的读取和写入请求提供。 允许客户在会议过程中降级其选定的担保。 本发明的一个实现允许选择四个一致性保证中的任何一个。

    摘要: A test environment is created for use in selecting updates for deployment to a programmable execution service (“PES”) application. The test environment is created in one embodiment by replicating a production network and one or more production virtual machine instances executing the PES application. Once the test environment has been created, the test environment is utilized to test and select updates for deployment to the PES application. The updates may be selected by deploying the updates to the test environment and using the test environment to determine whether the deployed updates are compatible with the PES application, permit the PES application to continue to operate performantly, and/or permit the PES application to meet one or more business performance metrics. Once the updates have been selected, the updates may be applied to production virtual machine instances executing the PES application.

    摘要: Update preferences are specified that define factors for use in determining how and when updates to an application are to be deployed. The update preferences may include economic factors, temporal factors, operational factors, and other types of factors. The update preferences are utilized to create a deployment plan that specifies how and when the updates are to be applied to the application in view of the specified factors. The deployment plan is utilized to deploy the updates to the application.
