The plurality of problem tickets is prioritized based on the set of quantitative metrics and the set of qualitative indicators. A next action to be taken is determined for each of the plurality of problem tickets based on the set of quantitative metrics and the set of qualitative indicators.

Abstract: When visual focus on a mobile device is limited, aural cues can be used to aid in entering a pattern based access code. The mobile device displays a plurality of positions from which an access code for accessing a mobile device can be selected. Indications of a set of positions of the plurality of positions in a sequence are received. The sequence of the set of the positions form an access code. For at least the first of the set of positions, an aural cue associated with the first position is determined, and the aural cue is emitted to indicate the first position based on the aural cue. It is determined whether the access code is correct. Access to the mobile device is allowed if the access code is correct.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing telephone calls are provides. Aspects include setting one or more telephone numbers of one or more contacts of an owner of a telephone as child telephone numbers of a master telephone number of the telephone according to a correlation of the contacts to the owner based on user information thereof. Aspects also include assigning one of a plurality of call preferences to each child telephone number according to expenses information of telephone calls from the child telephone number to the master telephone number and from the master telephone number to the child telephone number and managing each telephone call received by the master telephone number from each child telephone number according to the corresponding call preference.

Abstract: A system and method for enhancing a lazy loading operation is disclosed. The system and method, in general, retrieves a plurality of subsets of a dataset via the lazy loading operation and increments a counter for each of the plurality of subsets retrieved by the processor. Then, the system and method detects a first event that navigates away from the retrieving of the plurality of subsets and also detects a second event that navigates back to the retrieving of the plurality of subsets. Next, the system and method returns to the retrieving of the plurality of subsets in accordance with the counter in response to the detecting of the second event.

Abstract: In an approach to determining doctor availability, one or more computer processors receive a request for doctor availability in a patient's hospital room from a patient advocate. The one or more computer processors determine a current location of a doctor's mobile computing device. The one or more computer processors determine, based, at least in part, on the current location of the doctor's mobile computing device, an arrival time of the doctor in the patient's hospital room. The one or more computer processors send a notification to the patient advocate of the arrival time of the doctor in the patient's hospital room.

Abstract: A system, and computer program product for automated analysis and visualization of log data are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A subset of information to be visualized is selected from a set of information. Each information in the set comprises a result of a corresponding analysis technique applied to the log data. For an information in the subset of information, a tagged portion of the log data is analyzed according to the corresponding analysis technique to discern the information. The information corresponds to a tag used in conjunction with the tagged portion. For the information, a manner of visualizing the information is selected. A set of graphical visualizations comprising a corresponding graphical visualization for each information is generated, including a visualization in the selected manner of visualizing the information.
