Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for utilizing multi-factor authentication to authenticate an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The identity credentials of neighboring IoT device(s) are obtained by the IoT device to be authenticated. Upon providing a request to the authentication system to prove its identity, the IoT device provides the authentication system a first factor credential, such as a username and password. The authentication system, upon confirming the accuracy of the first factor credential, challenges the IoT device to provide the second factor credential. After receiving the challenge from the authentication system to provide the second factor credential, the IoT device returns the second factor credential that was generated based on the obtained identity credentials from the neighboring IoT device(s).

Abstract: An approach is provided for tracking a single process instance flow. A request is received in a first system of a multi-system environment. Log files are pulled from systems with which the request interacts. Log entries are captured for the request. The log files are combined and flattened into a chronological log. A predictive model is built from an order of entries in the chronological log. Correlation keys in the entries of the chronological log are identified. Logs specifying processing of multiple ongoing requests are aggregated. A process instance of interest to a user is received. Instance specific log files are generated by deflattening the aggregated logs and by using a pattern detection algorithm that uses the predictive model and an alternate identifier algorithm that uses the correlation keys. One of the generated instance specific log files specifies a flow of the process instance of interest.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach that evaluates a locally running image (e.g., such as that for a virtual machine (VM)) and determines if that image could run more efficiently and/or more effectively in an alternate computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). Specifically, embodiments of the present invention evaluate the local (existing/target) image's actual and perceived performance, as well as the anticipated/potential performance if the image were to be migrated to an alternate environment. The anticipated/potential performance can be measured based on another image that is similar to the existing/target image but where that image is running in a different computing environment. Regardless, the system would display a recommendation to the end user if it were determined that the image could perform better in the alternate environment (or vice versa). It is understood that performance is just one illustrative metric for which the system would perform a comparison.
