Abstract: A mobile device performs admixed transactions at a merchant. The mobile device receives a purchase amount. The mobile device connects to at least one other mobile device. Responsive to connecting to the at least one other mobile device, the mobile device receives account authorization for at least one other purchase amount. Responsive to receiving the account authorization from the at least one other device, the mobile device creates an admixed authorization. The admixed authorization comprises individual account authorizations for users of the mobile device and the at least one other mobile device. The mobile device initiates a single transaction at a merchant. The mobile device transfers the admixed authorization to the merchant. Each of the individual account authorizations are applied to the single transaction based on the purchase amount and the at least one other purchase amount authorized in the individual account authorizations.

Abstract: An approach for authorizing an action requested by a user in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) is provided. In a typical embodiment, a request for a particular action associated with a computing resource is received. The connected systems which may be affected by the requested action are identified. The actual users of the connected systems are determined. A response from each of the actual users is requested. The responses are collected and weighted to determine if authorization for the requested action is granted.

Abstract: A method implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to determine a current location of a user, predict a change of direction of the user, and provide at least one advertisement to the user based on the predicted change of direction of the user.

Abstract: An approach for delaying social media messages is provided herein. A first computing device receives user preferences. The first computing device detects a social media message of a user. The first computing device determines that the user is not in the physical location. The first computing device determines whether to delay the posting of the social media message based on a comparison of the content of the social media message with the received user preferences.

Abstract: An approach for addressing (e.g., preventing) detected network intrusions in a virtualized/networked (e.g., cloud) computing environment is provided. In a typical embodiment, users may group components/systems of an environment/domain according to a range of security sensitivity levels/classifications. The users may further configure rules for responding to security threats for each security sensitivity level/classification. For example, if a “highly dangerous” security threat is detected in or near a network segment that contains highly sensitive systems, the user may configure rules that will automatically isolate those systems that fall under the high security classification. Such an approach allows for more granular optimization and/or management of system security/intrusion prevention that may be managed at a system level rather than at a domain level.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide approaches for enforcing runtime policies in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). Specifically, in a typical embodiment, computer code and data of an application is annotated with metadata defining a set of runtime policies for executing the computer code and data. Once a request is received to run the application, a set of parameters (e.g., geographic location) corresponding to the execution of the computer code and data of the application is dynamically determined, and compared to the runtime policies. The runtime policies for executing the computer code and data are then enforced at runtime. This includes either running the application, or preventing the running of the application in the case that the set of parameters corresponding to the execution of the computer code and data of the application do not satisfy the runtime policies.

Abstract: An approach for assessing a service offering selected by a user in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) is provided. In one aspect, a network environment containing the service offering is monitored for a software configuration activity performed by the user. This software configuration activity is analyzed to identify the software application that is being configured. A set of provider-managed service offerings can be searched for any provider-managed service offering that contains an offered application corresponding to that of the software application. This managed service offering can be included in an alternative suggestion for the service offering.

Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, one or more computer processors display unstructured data. One or more computer processors display a first chart that graphically represents at least a portion of the unstructured data. In response to the first chart failing to satisfy a user-defined criteria, one or more computer processors modifies the first chart to generate a second chart that graphically represents at least a portion of the unstructured data in a user-defined manner. In certain embodiments, the unstructured data includes information that does not have a pre-defined data model and/or is not organized in a pre-defined manner.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for provisioning a virtual resource instance (e.g., a server instance, etc.) in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) based upon network characteristics (e.g., physical locations, email addresses/configurations, network connection types, internet protocol (IP) addresses, etc.) of a set (at least one) of intended end users of the virtual resource instance.

Abstract: A trust-based approach for authorizing computing resources in a networked computing environment is provided. Specifically, in a typical embodiment, a candidate computing resource (e.g., a virtual machine) will submit a request to join a network computing environment (“environment”). Based on the request, a message will be communicated to previously authorized/joined computing resources to poll/solicit their votes as to whether the candidate computing resource should be trusted/authorized in the environment. Based on the responses submitted by the polled computing resources, the candidate computing resource may be authorized or denied membership in the environment. If authorized, a permission level may be set (e.g., as recommended by the polled computing resources).
