A device, system and method for resolving errors between a client device, an intermediation server and a provider system. An error-resolving computing device, receives an error indication indicative of a type of an error between an intermediation server and a provider system, the error occurring in conjunction with the intermediation server acting as an intermediary between a client device and the provider system. The error-resolving computing device retrieves, from a memory, code associated with the type of the error, the code comprising one or more of programming code and machine learning code, which, when executed, instructs the error-resolving computing device to respond to the type of the error. The error-resolving computing device executes the code to respond to the type of the error. The error-resolving computing device provides, to the intermediation server, one or more status indications indicative of a state of responding to the error.

Data integrity monitoring and feedback control for cloud-based computing
The present specification provides data integrity monitoring and feedback in cloud-based computing platforms. While such platforms are ubiquitous and provide a means for globally scaled computing, the need for reliable data integrity also increases with scaling. A system in accordance with an embodiment includes a data integrity monitoring engine that integrates with existing cloud computing platforms and monitors events corresponding to receipt of files and checking the frequency and size of those files.
A method at an aggregator includes: storing previous search results resulting from previous client search requests, and for each previous search result, a previous handling indicator, indicating a relevance of the previous search result to the client; receiving, from the client, a search request containing search parameters; in response to the search request, selecting a subset of previous search results based on correspondence between attributes of the previous search results and the search parameters, and on the previous handling indicators; providing, to a supplier, the search request and auxiliary search parameters corresponding to the selected previous search results and indicating characteristics of the selected previous search results, for generation of current search results at the supplier employing the auxiliary search parameters as inputs; receiving, from the supplier, the current search results generated at the supplier; and returning at least one of the current search results to the client.
A device, system and method managing inventory of provider objects are provided. One or more computing devices: generate one or more associated provider objects representing one or more respective associated items provided by a provider system, the associated provider object(s) including respective prices for the associated respective item(s); store, at one or more memories, the associated provider object(s); push, to an external computing device, information identifying the associated provider object(s), the external computing device being external to the provider system and the one or more computing devices, the information identifying the associated provider object(s) including the respective prices; receive, from the external computing device, an indication that a transaction associated with a provider object of associated provider objects, has occurred; in response to receiving the indication: provide, to the external computing device, the provider object; and reduce, at the one or more memories, a number of the associated provider object(s).

Data is handled in a distributed computing environment comprising at least one server and a plurality of clients comprising at least a first client and a second client. The first client sends a first request for data to the second client, receives a first response from the second client as a response to the first quest, determines a probability of validity of the data requested based on a validity indication included in the first response indicating a probability that the data requested from the second client is invalid. The first client determines that the data requested by the first request and available from the second client is likely invalid, sends a second request to the server to obtain the data from the server and receives the data from the server.
