摘要： A system, method, apparatus, and processor readable storage media are described for real-time computation of statistics between audiences including, but not limited to, correlations, comparative metrics, and/or other statistical analysis for the audiences. Embodiments enable a user to specify a query that defines a specific audience for analysis in real-time. A past time period may be determined that indicates the amount of historical data that is to be analyzed to generate the statistical comparisons and/or correlations. Employing the user-specified query, statistical comparisons and/or correlation may be provided, based on an analysis of retrieved historical audience data for the time period. Embodiments may also enable a user to generate new statistics in real-time through modification of the audience in one or more iterations. Embodiments may also enable a user to filter, sort, and search through audiences by setting desired statistical boundaries for the resulting audience set.

摘要： Techniques are provided for selecting among the advertisements that are competing for a slot based, at least in part, on an “schedule sequence” that is established for the advertisements. The schedule sequence may, for example, reflect the relative times at which a content provider incurred the delivery obligations associated with the advertisements. For the purpose of establishing the sequence, the date on which an advertisement order is placed may be considered to be the date on which the corresponding delivery obligations are incurred. After the sequence has been established, the position of competing advertisements within the schedule sequence is used as one of the factors for determining which competing ad to place in a slot, where ads nearer the beginning of the sequence (ads with earlier-incurred delivery obligations) are favored over ads that are nearer the end of the sequence (ads with later-incurred delivery obligations).

摘要翻译： 提供了技术，用于至少部分地基于为广告建立的“调度序列”来选择竞争时隙的广告之中。 例如，调度序列可以反映内容提供者承担与广告相关联的传递义务的相对时间。 为了确定顺序，发布广告订单的日期可以被认为是相应交付义务发生的日期。 在序列建立之后，在时间表顺序中的竞争广告的位置被用作确定哪个竞争广告放置在时隙中的因素之一，其中广告更接近序列的开始（具有较早发生的交付义务的广告 ）对于接近序列结束的广告（具有较晚发生的交付义务的广告）是有利的。

摘要： A system, method, apparatus and processor readable media are described for real-time prediction of an advertising audience volume through analysis of historical audience data, and tuning of the predicted audience volume. Embodiments enable a user to specify a query for audience volume prediction. Such a query may be a Boolean combination of various audience categories. A time range may be determined that indicates the amount of historical data that is to be analyzed to make the audience volume prediction in real time. Employing the user-specified query, an audience volume prediction may be provided for a future time period, based on an analysis of retrieved historical audience data for the time range. Embodiments may also enable a user to tune the predicted audience volume through modification of the query through one or more iterations.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses are provided for dynamically reorganizing the data within a replicated database system. One method, for example, includes performing a split operation across a plurality of replicated databases with regard to an existing partition therein, wherein the existing partition comprises a plurality of data records and the two new partitions each include at least a portion of the plurality of data records, and allowing at least one type of access to the plurality of data records during the split operation.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention are directed to managing an exchange of user profile data through an auction that controls distribution to one or more top bidders. Visiting users of a data seller's website are tagged based on the visiting user's interactions with the data seller's website. The data seller or a network provider may tag the visiting users. The data sellers submit user data and user profile identifiers to an exchange service. Data buyers submit corresponding categories of user data for a campaign, and submit bids for profile data or user data of each user. A bid is generally specified for a specific user, where the bid may be per user, per category. The exchange service associates user data provided by a data seller with categories of data requested by a data buyer, and ranks bids. The highest bidder may receive access to user data for a predefined period.

摘要： A system for maintaining a database. The system includes a storage unit for storing many tablets each tablet including multiple records. The tablet controller is configured to maintain the relationship between the tablet and the storage unit. The tablet controller tracks failures to access the storage unit and designates a new storage unit for each tablet based on a storage unit failure. A router is in communication with the tablet controller and configured to distribute messages from clients to the storage units thereby serving as a layer of indirection.

摘要： A method, system, apparatus, and storage medium for determining that a client device is enabled for persistent identification, and that may operate as a filter for user information based on whether the client is enabled for persistent identification. A first communication is received regarding a request by the client for a web page. At least one application level data structure is then provided for storage by the client, that persistently identifies at least one characteristic of the client. A second communication is then received that includes a representation of the application level data structures provided, and a comparison is made between the data structures provided and the representation received to determine whether the client is enabled for persistent identification. If persistent identification is enabled, the client may then be provided with advertisements or other content related to the client interests or characteristics.

摘要： A technique is described that reduces the complexity and resource consumption associated with performing record expiry in a distributed database system. In accordance with the technique, a record is checked to see if it has expired only when it has been accessed for a read or a write. If at the time of a read a record is determined to have expired, then it is not served. If at the time of a write a record is determined to have expired, then the write is treated as an insertion of a new record, and steps are taken to treat the insertion consistently with regard to the previous expired version. A background process is used to delete records that have not been written to or actively deleted by a client after expiration.

摘要翻译： 描述了一种降低与在分布式数据库系统中执行记录到期相关联的复杂性和资源消耗的技术。 根据该技术，检查记录以查看它是否仅在已被访问以进行读取或写入时才过期。 如果在阅读时确定记录已经过期，则不会提供记录。 如果在写入时确定记录已经过期，则写入被视为新记录的插入，并且采取步骤以一致的方式对先前的过期版本进行处理。 使用后台进程来删除客户端到期后尚未写入或主动删除的记录。

摘要： An improved system and method for parallel retrieval of data from a distributed database is provided. A parallel interface may be provided for use by a cluster of client machine for parallel retrieval of partial results from parallel execution of a database query by a cluster of database servers storing a distributed database. A query interface may be augmented for inputting a database query and specifying the number of instances of parallel retrieval of results from query execution. To do so, a commercial query language may be augmented for sending a query request that may include a parameter specifying the database query and an additional parameter specifying the desired retrieval parallelism. The augmented query interface may return a list of retrieval point addresses for retrieving the partial results assigned to each of the retrieval point addresses from parallel execution of the database query.
