In one embodiment, an apparatus for solution provisioning includes a task manager configured to, establish a provisioning task and obtain a provisioning image for the provisioning task in response to a request, and a provisioning implementer configured to execute and monitor the provisioning task established by the task manager. The task manager configures and launches the provisioning implementer based on the provisioning image obtained, and the provisioning image includes configuration information and scripts used for executing installation, and information for mapping the configuration information to the scripts. In another embodiment, a method includes establishing a provisioning task in response to a received solution provisioning request, obtaining a provisioning image for the provisioning task, configuring and launching a provisioning implementer based on the obtained provisioning image, and executing and monitoring the provisioning task using the provisioning implementer. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described according to other embodiments.

To provide a sponsored story unit, the social networking system receives a story request from an advertiser. The story request specifies properties of content used to generate the sponsored story. When the social networking system stores an object or an action performed on an object, properties associated with, and describing, the object or the action are also stored. For example, properties of an object include an object type, an object identifier, metadata describing the object or other suitable information. The social networking system identifies actions or objects associated with users connected to a viewing user having one or more properties included in a story request. A sponsored story is generated from the identified actions or objects and presented to a viewing user.

A social networking system generates socially-relevant ads for a user based on actions taken by other users to whom the user is connected. These may be actions taken on, and determined by, an external system, information about which actions can be received by the social networking system and used for matching to an advertisement request. The social networking system may determine a social context for advertising to a user based on the action and may generate an advertisement for the matched ad request that includes an informational message communicating the social context (i.e., an ad with the information message appended to it, a news story for the informational message, etc.). The ad may be targeted to the user based on user affinity for the ad, based on an object interacted with or an action taken by the user's connections on or external to the social networking system, among other criteria.
摘要:
A social networking website logs information about actions taken by members of the website. For a particular member of the website, the website generates socially relevant ads for the member based on the actions logged for other members on the website to whom the member is connected (i.e., the member's online friends). The advertiser associated with the social ad may compensate the social networking website for publishing the ad on the website. When presenting a member with a social ad, the website may optimize advertising revenue by selecting an ad from the received ads that will maximize the expected value of the social ad. The expected value may be computed according to a function that includes the member's affinity for the ad content and the bid amount. The technique is also applied for providing socially relevant information off the social networking website.

A system and method of integrating IP multicasting with application layer multicasting for media streaming. The proposed approach teaches forming an overlay P2P tree using a scalable protocol. New node either detects an existing IP multicasting island to join or forms a new one. Ingress node of each island is adaptively elected and streams media to nodes in its island via IP multicasting, while getting the media from its parent node via traditional unicast to achieve much lower end-to-end delay and link stress.

摘要:
When a social interaction by a user in a social networking system is detected, a description of the interaction is created. A service level auction is performed to select one or more service modules to provide recommendation units from a plurality of service modules. Each of the plurality of service modules is configured to provide recommendation units that suggest that the user engage in a social interaction in the social networking system. The description of the interaction is provided to each service module selected and recommendation units are requested. A plurality of recommendation units are received from the selected service modules. A unit level auction is performed to select one of more recommendation units to present to the user from the plurality of recommendation units. The selected recommendation units are transmitted to a device of the user for presentation.
摘要:
A social network advertises to its members with engagement interfaces. An engagement interface comprises a call to action and a link to perform the action within the social network from within the engagement interface. Responsive to a user selection of the link to perform the action, the engagement interface modifies one or more objects within the social network associated with the call to action according to the selection of the link to perform the action. The engagement interface may be refreshed on the user's screen to indicate to the user that the action has been performed. An engagement interface may also be presented to a user from the social network or from an external system apart from the social network.
