Abstract: A solution is proposed for controlling access to one or more resources of a computing system. A corresponding method comprises storing a knowledge base, which provides a knowledge of an access control to the resources in conformity with an access control ontology. In response to an update request, the access control ontology is updated according to update assertions obtained from the update request. In response to an access request (for a selected access to a selected resource), the selected access is granted or denied according to a result of an access query (for querying the access control ontology) obtained from the access request. A computer program and a computer program product for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, a corresponding system (particularly, a control computing machine) is proposed.

Abstract: During development of an application storing monitoring tools within the source code of the application. During deployment, extracting all monitoring rules from the source code of the application; obtaining information to complete the monitoring rules and customize the monitoring rules to the application which is to be monitored; discarding duplicate monitoring rules; and sending the monitoring rules to a target monitoring tool for configuration of monitoring rules within the application.

Abstract: A technique for configuring a data processing system for high availability. A set of rules for high availability is defined. A set of target parameters indicative of a target configuration of the data processing system which is highly available, is also defined. A set of existing parameters indicative of a current configuration of the data processing system is automatically collected from the data processing system. The rules with the target parameters are automatically applied to the existing parameters to identify actions to reconfigure the data processing system for high availability. Some of the target parameters identify resources of the data processing system intended to be highly available. Some of the identified actions are automatically implemented.
