Techniques are disclosed for localized adaptation of client devices based on correlation or learning at a remote server. For example, a method for modifying a behavior of a client device in a data collection system, wherein the client device collects data and transmits data to a server, includes the following steps. The client device transmits data to the server. The server uses at least a portion of the data received from the client device to generate information that represents a modification to a behavior of the client device. The server device transmits the generated information to the client device. The client device subsequently alters the behavior of the client device based on the information received from the server.

Methods and systems are provided for associating contextual data with communication sessions, in particular in technical help desk scenarios. A context logger service running on a central server or on an individual computing device is used to create a log of application specific, often ephemeral, contextual data for a plurality of applications running one or more systems that are in communication with the context logger service across one or more networks. When a communication session between an initiating entity and a receiving entity to request assistance regarding a subject application running on one of the systems is initiated, and if the communication session is deemed to be a candidate for the automatic association of such context data, at least a portion of the application specific contextual data contained in the log is associated with the communication session and delivered to the receiving entity. The receiving entity uses the associated application specific contextual data to provide the requested assistance, or otherwise improve the operations at the receiving entity.

Improved descriptive query techniques are provided. More particularly, techniques are provided for specifying and processing descriptive queries for data providers grouped into provider kinds with hierarchical containment relationships. The query may include arbitrary boolean combinations of arbitrary tests on the values of attributes of the data providers.
摘要:
A method, system, and computer program for dynamically adjusting the workload of an active resource associated with at least one parent workload group. The parent workload group includes a collection of workload units, with each associated to a key identifier such that workload units belonging to the parent workload group share an identical sequence of values at a specified depth value of the key identifier. The active resource independently determines whether an overload condition exists. If an overload condition exists, the depth value of the parent workload group is increased. The active resource may also consolidate a workload group if an under-load condition exists. Dynamically adjusting the workload of an active resource can be used as part of a method or system to dynamically adjust the workload of a distributed computing application across a dynamically varying set of active resources, and subsequently redirecting entities to the dynamically changing target resource.

Methods and apparatus of adaptively transmitting data are provided. Data for transmission from one or more incoming data streams is determined in accordance with at least one characteristic of a respective one of the one or more data streams and at least one context external of the data stream. A compression technique for the data and a transmission strategy for the data are modified in accordance with the data determined for transmission.
