Systems and methods that provide for a virtual reality entertainment system that supplies immersive entertainment and creates a sensation for a user similar to having guests in a remote location to be physically present as virtual guests. Such virtual reality entertainment system can supply a graphic and/or audio; wherein interconnected computers, video and audio processing devices, supply a live interaction between a user and a guest(s). Although guests are only present virtually (e.g., electronically present with other objects/user within the environment) such virtual invitation enables a user and guests to concurrently experience the entertainment together (e.g., a live sporting event, spectator game). In a related aspect, the subject innovation can implement holographic avatars, and a plurality of communication interfaces, to imitate (and/or transform) a relationship between the user and the virtual guests/surrounding environment.

Transformations for virtual guest representation

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates re-locating a web application associated with a network service utilizing a portion of serialized data. The network service can be any collection of resources that are maintained by a party (e.g., third-party, off-site, etc.) and accessible by an identified user over a network (e.g., WAN, Internet, etc.). An interface component can receive a portion of serialized data with transparent structure related to an application specification. A hydrate component can create a web application independent of a network service based at least in part upon the serialized data, the web application has state within the network service.

Serialization of run-time state

Transportable web application

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates preserving and maintaining data and/or services associated with a network service. The network service can be any collection of resources that are maintained by a party (e.g., third-party, off-site, etc.) and accessible by an identified user over a network (e.g., WAN, Internet, etc.). An interface component can receive a termination notification related to the network service. An executor component can relocate at least a portion of one of data and a service associated with the terminated network service to a disparate replacement network service in order to preserve any services and/or data related therewith.

Determination of optimized location for services and data

Remote provisioning of an IT network and/or associated services is provided. Hardware, software, service and/or expertise can be moved from on-premise to a remote location (e.g., central, distributed . . . ). Accordingly, at least a large degree computation can be moved to the center to exploit economies of scale, among other things. In such an architecture, computational resources (e.g., data storage, computation power, cache . . . ) can be pooled, and entities can subscribe to a particular level of resources related to a private entity IT network.

Remote provisioning of information technology

Systems and methods of generating a list of preferred items are disclosed herein. A uniform resource identifier that references a listing web service is provided. A call to the listing web service is received from a linking website. The call to the listing web service includes an item identifier corresponding to an item that the consumer is willing to purchase. The call can be executed as a result of the consumer selecting a listing icon that references the uniform resource identifier. The listing icon is displayed on the linking website hosted at a linking domain. The listing web service can be executed to add the item to the list of preferred items associated with the consumer. The list of preferred items is displayed on a listing website. The listing website can be hosted at a listing domain which is different from the linking domain.

Preferred items list management

Virtual entertainment

Personal data mining mechanisms and methods are employed to identify relevant information that otherwise would likely remain undiscovered. Users supply personal data that can be analyzed in conjunction with data associated with a plurality of other users to provide useful information that can improve business operations and/or quality of life. Personal data can be mined alone or in conjunction with third party data to identify correlations amongst the data and associated users. Applications or services can interact with such data and present it to users in a myriad of manners, for instance as notifications of opportunities.

Personal data mining

The present invention provides, among other things, technologies for recognizing sequences of events or patterns of behavior, of predicting intent, need, objectives, purpose, aim, or the like, and responding to the predicted intent. Such technologies includes intent prediction and response ('IPR') environments and systems, as well as methods for performing aspects IPR. Such technologies may aid in accomplishing tasks more efficiently or in reducing impediments whether they be physical, environmental, social, or the like.

Intent prediction and response employing sensing, networking, and communication among distributed devices

A method for executing a schedule in a workflow application is provided. The method includes selectively storing a schedule state to a storage medium based on a latency attribute associated with the schedule. Also provided is a method of executing a workflow application comprising long running transactions. This method includes selectively storing a schedule state to a storage medium based on a latency attribute associated with the schedule, and selectively compensating certain actions within the schedule according to a compensation parameter associated with an action, based on failure or abortion of another action within the schedule. In addition, there is provided a method of executing a schedule comprising selectively compensating certain actions or transactions within the schedule according to a compensation parameter associated with an action or transaction, based on failure or abortion of another action or transaction within the schedule.

Long running transaction integration with selective dehydration and selective compensation

The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate replicating a state associated with a client, user, service, application, and the like. A third party service provider can support any number of services that can be concurrently requested by several clients without user perception of degraded computing performance as compared to conventional systems/techniques due to improved connectivity and mitigated latencies. A replication component can generate replicas of states associated with requested services. Further, the replicas can facilitate seamlessly interacting with the third party service provider (e.g., while transitioning between client devices). Additionally, by providing replicas of the state related information, differing third party service providers can effectuate services based upon a request from a client without regenerating the state.

State reflection

An intelligent personalized agent monitors, regulates, and advises a user in decision-making processes for efficiency or safety concerns. The agent monitors an environment and present characteristics of a user and analyzes such information in view of stored preferences specific to one of multiple profiles of the user. Based on the analysis, the agent can suggest or automatically implement a solution to a given issue or problem. In addition, the agent can identify another potential issue that requires attention and suggests or implements action accordingly. Furthermore, the agent can communicate with other users or devices by providing and acquiring information to assist in future decisions. All aspects of environment observation, decision assistance, and external communication can be flexibly limited or allowed as desired by the user.

Dynamic environment evaluation and service adjustment based on multiple user profiles including data classification and information sharing with authorized other users

State replication

Recommendation system that identifies a valuable user action by mining data supplied by a plurality of users to find a correlation that suggests one or more actions for notification
