A Web-analytics system analyzes user activity on a Web site of interest. The system receives a set of user-session logs that each track user behavior on the site during one session. The system identifies common patterns of user behavior recorded in the logs. The system stores each identified pattern in a reserved area and replaces each instance of a stored pattern in a log with a placeholder. During the analytics system's subsequent analysis of a session, the system need process only the reduced-size log of that session, referring to the previously stored patterns whenever encountering a corresponding placeholder.

Pattern-optimized session logs for improved web analytics

Embodiments of the invention provide for reduced network footprint customer behavior analytics. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for reduced network footprint customer behavior analytics includes executing an analytics server in memory of a host computing system and loading into the memory a table. The table includes a multiplicity of entries, each entry correlating a reference to a DOM with a unique identifier and a Web browser brand. Thereafter, the analytics server performs DOM capture and replay of a Web site by receiving from over a computer communications network instead of a complete DOM, a message encapsulating both a unique identifier for a Web page of the site, and a Web browser brand rendering the page, identifying using the table a particular DOM referenced in correlation to the encapsulated identifier and browser brand, retrieving the particular DOM from a data store and performing replay utilizing the retrieved DOM.

A sensor-enabled smart device may be recommended to a user. The sensor-enabled smart device may be identified from a registry on a network. The smart device may have the ability to send and receive real-time data over the network. A value of the device, to the user, may be determined based on user analytics. A vendor through which to sell the device may be determined based on market analytics. A sale of the device via the vendor may be recommended to the user.

Smart device recommendations

A method for a client-initiated leader election in a distributed system including receiving a master listener election request by at least one listener of a plurality of listeners in the distributed system, arranging a list of configured listeners in a descending priority order, the list of configured listeners comprises one or more listeners of the plurality of listeners set for connection, selecting a listener with a highest priority from the list of configured listeners, determining an availability of the selected listener, verifying a connectivity to the selected listener using a ping utility program, assigning the selected listener as a master listener based on the connectivity, and connecting to the master listener.
