Abstract: Techniques for employing a decentralized sleep management service are described herein. In some instances, each computing device of a group of computing devices periodically shares information about itself with each other computing device of the group. With this information, each computing device within the group that is awake and capable of managing other devices selects a subset of devices to probe. The devices then probe this subset to determine whether the probed devices are asleep. In response to identifying a sleeping device, the probing device takes over management of the sleeping device. Managing the sleeping device involves informing other devices of the group that the sleeping device is being managed, in addition to monitoring requests for services on the sleeping device. In response to receiving a valid request for a service hosted by the sleeping device, the managing device awakens the sleeping device and ceases managing the now-woken device.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter includes techniques for providing an application testing service with a user interface that enables a user to evaluate performance data for computer implemented decision policies. An example method includes displaying a first reward statistic comprising an actual performance result for a policy implemented by an application. The method also includes obtaining experimental data corresponding to previously implemented policies, computing a second reward statistic for a hypothetical policy using a reward function applied to the experimental data. The method also includes displaying the second reward statistic together with the first reward statistic to enable a user to compare the first reward statistic and the second first reward statistic.

Abstract: Techniques for designing an awareness engine that organizes and serves popularly discussed and viral online content in response to user search queries. In an aspect, quality online content is identified by analyzing posts by users of a social network over specific time periods. For each item of quality online content identified, a virality score is calculated, and a social signature is constructed. The social signature can be constructed from the content itself, as well as from posts referencing the content. Based on this processing, relevant quality online content having the highest virality scores may be retrieved and served in response to user queries. Further techniques are provided for designing a user interface for the awareness engine.
