Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include: receiving a request to integrate a commit; obtaining analytics data of an author that developed the commit; executing a simulation using the analytics data of the author as inputs to the simulation; obtaining results from the simulation, wherein the results indicate error rates when one or more testing stages are omitted from a testing procedure of the commit; comparing the results of the simulation with a threshold; determining, by the computing the device, the testing procedure based on the comparing, wherein the testing procedure identifies the one or more testing stages that are omitted and one or more testing stages that are included in the testing procedure; and outputting information regarding the determined testing procedure, wherein the outputting causes an integration server to test the commit in accordance with the testing procedure as part of an integration process for integrating the commit to a project.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining social influence. Measurements of social reach of social media content are determined. The content is being sent by mobile devices during an ongoing event that involves multiple individuals using social media via the mobile devices. The measurements of social reach include a rate of proliferation of the social media content. Social context features of the mobile devices during the event are determined. The social context features include geographic locations of the mobile devices at times at which the mobile devices send the social media content. A Rayleigh distribution is generated based on the measurements of social reach and the social context features. Based on the Rayleigh distribution, scores indicating respective social influences of the individuals are determined.

Abstract: A provisioning mechanism performs facial recognition of a photograph, and determines when the person corresponding to the recognized face is correlated to a desired geographical location. The availability of resources near the desired geographical location is determined, and computer resources are then provisioned at a resource center near the desired geographical location. The result is provisioning computer resources to a geographical location based on facial recognition.
