摘要： Techniques for assessing the cost of allocation of execution and affecting the allocation of execution are disclosed. The cost of allocation of execution between a first computing device (e.g., mobile device) and one or more computing resource providers (e.g., Clouds) can be determined during runtime of the code. A computing system can operate independently of the first computing device and a computing resource provider and provide execution allocation cost assessment. Execution allocation cost can be assessed based on execution allocation data pertaining to the first computing device and computing resource providers. Power consumption of a mobile device can be used as a factor in determining how to allocate individual components of an application program between a mobile phone and a Cloud. In an Elastic computing environment, external computing resources can be used to extend the computing capabilities beyond that which can be provided by internal computing resources.

摘要： Various methods for combining ClipRank and Collaborative Filtering are provided. According to one embodiment, the ClipRank weights associated with pieces of media content are calculated based on the relationships among the pieces of media content and various users. Those pieces having ClipRank weights greater than or equal to a predefined weight threshold are selected from the pieces of media content to obtain selected pieces of media content. Collaborative Filtering is then performed on the selected pieces of media content and the users.

摘要： Various methods for combining ClipRank and Collaborative Filtering are provided. According to one embodiment, the ClipRank weights associated with a plurality of pieces of media content are calculated based on the relationships among the plurality of pieces of media content and a plurality of users. Those pieces having ClipRank weights greater than or equal to a predefined weight threshold are selected from the plurality of pieces of media content to obtain a plurality of selected pieces of media content. Collaborative Filtering is then performed on the plurality of selected pieces of media content and the plurality of users. According to another embodiment, Collaborative Filtering on a plurality of pieces of media content and a plurality of users is performed for one of the plurality of users. Personalized ClipRank weights associated with the plurality of pieces of media content is calculated for the user based on Collaborative Filtering ratings obtained for the plurality of pieces of media content for the user.

摘要： Access permission can be assigned to a particular individually executable portion of computer executable code (“component-specific access permission”) and enforced in connection with accessing the services of a service provider by the individually executable portion (or component). It should be noted that least one of the individually executable portions can request the services when executed by a dynamically scalable computing resource provider. In addition, general and component-specific access permissions respectively associated with executable computer code as a whole or one of it specific portions (or components) can be cancelled or rendered inoperable in response to an explicit request for cancelation.

摘要： Techniques for allocating individually executable portions of executable code for execution in an Elastic computing environment are disclosed. In an Elastic computing environment, scalable and dynamic external computing resources can be used in order to effectively extend the computing capabilities beyond that which can be provided by internal computing resources of a computing system or environment. Machine learning can be used to automatically determine whether to allocate each individual portion of executable code (e.g., a Weblet) for execution to either internal computing resources of a computing system (e.g., a computing device) or external resources of an dynamically scalable computing resource (e.g., a Cloud). By way of example, status and preference data can be used to train a supervised learning mechanism to allow a computing device to automatically allocate executable code to internal and external computing resources of an Elastic computing environment.
