Abstract: An anonymous leaderboard for a monitored computing environments is provided. In response to an entity registering with the monitored computing environment (MCE), an encrypted identity and a dynamic non-fungible token (NFT) are generated for the registered entity, where the dynamic NFT has an associated blockchain technology data structure. The blockchain technology data structure is associated with the encrypted identity. A progress element notification is received from the MCE in response to the entity satisfying criteria for a predefined progress element associated with the MCE. In response, a static NFT, corresponding to the predefined progress element, is generated and stored as a block in the blockchain technology data structure. An entry in an anonymous leaderboard output is generated based on the blockchain technology data structure, where the entry identifies the entity by the encrypted identity.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for processing queries in a hybrid database system. A database management system of the hybrid database system obtains an estimated execution time of a query by an online transaction processing engine. The database management system further obtains an estimated execution time of the query by a database accelerator. Furthermore, the database management system determines a wait time (which could be zero) for the database accelerator to process the query. The database management system then determines whether the online transaction processing engine or the database accelerator will process the query using the estimated execution time of the query by the online transaction processing engine, the estimated execution time of the query by the database accelerator and the wait time (which could be zero) for the database accelerator to process the query. In this manner, the processing of queries in hybrid database systems is optimized.

Abstract: One or more computer processors detect a physical storage device within a visual proximity to a user within an augmented reality (AR) environment. The one or more computer processors capture one or more physical identifiers of the detected physical storage device. The one or more computer processors identify an indexed filesystem associated with the physical storage device utilizing the one or more captured physical identifiers, wherein the indexed filesystem contains metadata representing file content stored on the physical storage device. The one or more computer processors calculate a filesystem risk score associated with the physical storage device utilizing the identified physical identifiers. The one or more computer processors present generated graphics representing the indexed filesystem and the calculated filesystem risk score to the user within an AR viewport.

Abstract: Usage information of a user for a plurality of computing devices is identified. A usage pattern for each computing device of the plurality of computing devices of the user is developed based on the identified usage information of the user. An indication of the user accessing an application on a first computing device of the plurality of computing devices is received.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are provided for virtualizing specific values in a guest configuration based on the underlying host symbol substitution values. A symbolic link located in a traditional file system in a virtual guest is opened. Each symbol is extracted from a symbol-based file located in a symbol-based file system. The symbol-based file is accessed through a symbolic link from the traditional file system. The virtual guest issues a privileged instruction to a hypervisor for each symbol in the symbol-based file to retrieve a substitution value from a symbol table that is stored in hypervisor storage. The substitution value for each symbol is returned to the virtual guest, and it replaces the symbol in the symbol-based file. In response to a file read request for the traditional file, the substitution value is retrieved from the symbol-based file using the symbolic link from the traditional file.
