Methods and systems for queuing events are described. In one aspect, a method is disclosed that receives or creates an event and inserts the event into a queue. The method determines at least one property of the event and associates a priority with the event based on the property. The method then processes the event in accordance with its priority.

Methods and systems for queuing and prioritizing media events

Methods and systems for managing a queue are disclosed. In one aspect, an example method can comprise accessing at least a portion of a queue comprising a plurality of tasks. Each task of the plurality of tasks can be associated with a property, and the property associated with each task can comprise a respective value. An exclusion value can be determined based on a distribution of the respective values. A group of tasks that comprises respective values of the property that do not match the exclusion value can be selected from the queue, and the selected group of tasks can be processed.

Managing fairness in task bundling of a queue

Provided are methods and systems for managing, distributing, and publishing content. An exemplary method can comprise receiving, in a content management system, an asset for distribution. The method can also comprise generating a metadata object according to a submission standard or requirement of a destination asset distribution platform. The destination asset distribution platform can be external to the content management system and the metadata object can comprise data indicative of or associated with the asset.

Adaptive publishing for content distribution

This disclosure relates to methods and systems for queuing events. In one aspect, a method is disclosed that receives or creates an event and inserts the event into a queue. The method determines at least one property of the event and associates a priority with the event based on the property. The method then processes the event in accordance with its priority.

Methods and systems for prioritizing events using time and availability

Content ingest can comprise the storage of content and the logging of the descriptive and technical metadata necessary to identify and locate the content. The methods and systems provided herein relate to content ingest utilizing multiple phase processing to account for both standard and non-standard metadata.

Multiple phase content ingest

An example method according to the disclosure can comprise receiving a requested number of slots from a user at a computing system. The computing system can be associated with a plurality of slots for processing one or more jobs. Each of the plurality of slots can be associated with a status (e.g., used, available, idle). A user can request a requested number of slots from the computing system. A quantity of slots can be allocated to the user based on the request, user category (e.g., under-served, adequately served), slot status and other factors. Only idle slots can be allocated to the adequately served user, whereas both available slots and idle slots can be allocated to the under-served user. One or more slots allocated to a user can be re-allocated to other users.
