System and methods are provided for improved directory enumeration and data copy with shared client directories in virtual desktops by quickly and efficiently retrieving shared directory entries from the client device over a separate fast channel and caching them on the virtual desktop, where the directory entries can be available locally to applications in the virtual desktop for performing directory enumeration. The fast channel can further be utilized for efficiently transferring data in data copy operations between the client device and the virtual desktop.

A method and apparatus for mediating job applications between user devices and application tracking systems is described. The method may include accessing a job application web page served from an application tracking system. The method may also include rewriting at least a portion of the job application web page and one or more links within the job application web page to at least resolve at the real time proxy system and not an original target location of the one or more links. The method may further include serving a rewritten version of the job application web page from the real time proxy system to the user system, converting a response received from the user system to the rewritten version of the job application web page, and submitting the converted response to the application tracking system.

Email has become commonplace as a means to communicate among parties non-synchronously by exchanging email messages. Some communications, however, may be more effective in real-time or in near real-time. For instance, service providers may offer a chat feature to accommodate real-time or near real-time help or service communications with customers. However, in this case, the user is likely required to enter credentials and/or context information to transition into a different communication type with the service provider. The present systems and methods provide a continuous conversation experience for the user whereby a message recipient of one message type (e.g., email, text, etc.) may continue a conversation in a different message type (e.g., a chat session, instant message, etc.) without manually providing message context for communicating via the second message type.

In some embodiments a distributed computing system is provided that includes a plurality of different feature modules and a matching engine. The different feature modules each provide different processing for handling parent requests and submitting, to the matching engine, commands for child data transaction requests that are associated with the parent request.

A positioning method and a WLAN device in the field of positioning technologies includes obtaining by the WLAN device an uplink scheduling parameter sent by another WLAN device to a plurality of to-be-positioned WLAN devices, where the uplink scheduling parameter indicates radio resources allocated to the plurality of to-be-positioned WLAN devices; receiving uplink signals by the WLAN device; and measuring respective positioning data of the plurality of to-be-positioned WLAN devices by the WLAN device based on the radio resources of the plurality of to-be-positioned WLAN devices and the received uplink signals.

A technique involves modular storage of network service plan components and provisioning of same. A subset of the capabilities of a service design system can be granted to a sandbox system to enable customization of service plan offerings or other controls.

An application program spans a plurality of digital social networks. The application program includes an inferred digital social network. Consent is obtained from a plurality of users of the digital social networks to participation in the inferred. digital social network. Information is automatically obtained from the digital social networks for the users, through a plurality of respective communication channels, which can be application program interfaces or covert or subliminal channels, The information includes link information between each of the users and other individuals in the digital social networks. The information is aggregated for the users to form the inferred digital social network, corresponding to a graph having nodes representing the users and the other individuals and having links between the nodes representing social relationships. Each of the users is enabled to send and receive message information with other users, to view profile information of other users, and to view social contact information of other users, through the inferred digital social network. In response to inputs from the users, the application program provides state information to the digital social networks spanned by the application program that the digital social networks cause to be communicated to users of the digital social networks.

A system and a method for routing a message to an application over a connection oriented session in a Kafka messaging platform environment are provided. The method includes: acquiring a plurality of partitions from the Kafka messaging platform; designating a first partition from among the plurality of partitions as a sticky partition; generating a plurality of routing keys that are configured to route to the sticky partition; receiving a subscription from a service that corresponds to a first application; transmitting, to the first application, a first routing key that identifies the subscription from among the plurality of routing keys; and receiving messages from Kafka services that are routed by the first routing key to the first application. For any particular application or set of applications, a plurality of connection oriented sessions may be used to achieve load balancing and high availability.
