A system and method to improve implementation efficiency of user interface content by using standard content attributes used across all platforms and devices to implement a lowest common denominator programming system. Standardized content attributes are used to produce a universal content framework that is implemented identically across various devices and platforms, resulting in a consistent and standardized user experience. The invention allows programming functionality to be universally applied and usable with any device and platform so that significant computer programming and updating inefficiencies are eliminated.

A server set for a data set may designate a subset of “master” servers that update the data set in order to reduce data version conflicts involving mutually exclusive updates of the data set. Multi-master configurations may fulfill the performance constraints, and the subset of masters may detect and resolve data version conflicts. However, if multiple masters perform conflict resolution for a particular data version conflict, the resolution may produce inefficiency and redundancy (if the masters reach the same outcome) or additional data version conflicts (if the masters reach different outcomes). Instead, among the masters, a merge master may be identified that applies conflict resolution techniques to data version conflicts and forwards the conflict resolution outcome to the other masters for application to the data set to resolve the data version conflict. The other masters may temporarily store updates in a tentative update set until data version conflicts are resolved.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing presence-based secure communications in a controlled environment. In an embodiment, a presence management system monitors communication status information related to communication devices within a controlled facility as well as communication devices external to the controlled facility. Communication statuses indicate the availability of users to receive certain types of communications, such as, for example, video conferencing, audio calls, and/or textual messages. In embodiments, secure communications are provided between inmates and approved individuals, such as medical or legal professionals, based on the communication statuses. Such secure communications are encrypted and not monitored for content.

An apparatus comprises a memory and at least one processor in communication with the memory. The at least one processor is to detect, during a discovery window, a neighboring client station that is to perform peer-to-peer Wi-Fi communication via a Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) protocol and establish, via a negotiation after the discovery window, a datapath with the neighboring client station, wherein the negotiation includes an exchange of NAN data path setup attributes in parallel with an exchange of encryption cipher attributes and the encryption cipher is based on a simultaneous authentication of equals (SAE) protocol. The SAE protocol can be used to generate key material to encrypt the datapath.

Systems and methods for enabling quality-of-service (QoS) within information centric networking (ICN) networks include receiving, at a network node of an ICN network, an interest packet including a name field and a quality-of-service (QoS) field, the QoS field including at least one QoS parameter. The network node is configured to extract the at least one QoS parameter and a name from the interest packet and forward the interest packet from the network node based on both the name and the QoS parameter.

Data services for workloads are often provided with a service level agreement specifying various performance guarantees (e.g., latency, availability, scalability, and consistency). Single-master architectures, in which updates to the data set are constrained to a single server, may limit the fulfillment of some performance guarantees. Presented herein are multi-master architectures, in which the server set is partitioned into at least two masters are permitted to update the data set and at least one non-master that is not permitted to update the data set. Non-masters that receive a request to update the data set forward the request to a master server for application to the data set. A master that receives the request applies it to the data set and propagates the update to other master and non-master servers. Conflicting updates may be resolved through a variety of conflict resolution techniques, optionally designating one master server as a conflict resolution server.
