A method and/or NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled mobile device is provided for executing an electronic contract on NFC enabled mobile devices. The (NFC) enabled mobile device applies an electronic signature thereof in an electronic contract provided on the NFC enabled mobile device used by a first contracting party, where the electronic signature is applied through a secure element of the NFC enabled mobile device. The NFC enabled mobile device determines that the NFC enabled mobile device is not within NFC range to an other NFC enabled mobile device used by a second contracting party to the electronic contract. In response to the NFC enabled mobile device determining that it is not within NFC range to the other NFC enabled mobile device, the NFC enabled mobile device sends, to the other NFC enabled mobile device, a multimedia messaging service (MMS) text message that includes the electronic contract.

Executing electronic contract on NFC enabled mobile devices

Methods, systems, and computer program products for leveraging shared work to enhance job performance across analytics platforms are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes comparing one or more task characteristics of multiple tasks across multiple jobs to be executed within a given environment, wherein each of the multiple jobs comprises one or more tasks; identifying, based on said comparing, one or more of the multiple tasks that can be shared by two or more of the multiple jobs; scheduling the multiple jobs for execution within the given environment, wherein said scheduling is based on (i) the identified tasks that can be shared by two or more of the multiple jobs, and (ii) one or more performance metrics of the given environment; and allocating resources to the multiple jobs based on said scheduling.

Leveraging shared work to enhance job performance across analytics platforms

One embodiment provides a method, including: utilizing at least one processor to execute computer code that performs the steps of: receiving information for a plurality of telecommunications networks, from at least one device, regarding quality of network access between at least one of a plurality of user devices and at least one of the plurality of telecommunications networks; determining quality of each of the plurality of telecommunications networks by aggregating and storing the information received from the at least one device; receiving a request from a device of a user to connect to a telecommunications network; and providing, based upon the determined quality of the plurality of telecommunications networks, a recommendation of a telecommunications network from the plurality of telecommunications networks for connection by the device of a user. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Crowd sourcing network quality

Methods, systems, and computer program products for distributed and localized policy and charging control in cellular networks are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes configuring, within a network, (i) policy and charging enforcement functionality and (ii) policy and charging rules functionality by: implementing (i) remote policy and charging enforcement functionality components and (ii) remote policy and charging rules functionality components within the network, wherein each of the remote components executes in a virtual machine on a compute node that is co-located with an evolved node B; and retaining (i) centralized policy and charging enforcement functionality components and (ii) centralized policy and charging rules functionality components within the network; and executing transactions on the network via: implementing an interaction between (a) the centralized components and (b) the remote components to transmit information to a billing system associated with the telecommunications network.
