Abstract: An application reconciliation to improve flow-based applications. Generating a first application source graph based on first discovery information. Generating a second application graph based on first discovery information. Clustering the applications generated in the second graph of connected components. Performing a reconciliation of the connected components to cluster applications with similar members to obtain a reduced output of clustered applications.

Abstract: A property-based application discovery. Generating a first application member properties graph based on first discovery information. Generating a second application member properties graph based on second discovery information. Creating a distance matrix based upon the first application member properties graph and the second application member properties graph. Performing a dimension reduction operation on the distanced matrix to obtain a reduced similarity matrix. Performing a property based application discovery operation using the reduced similarity matrix to obtain a reduced output of clustered applications.

Abstract: Automated provision and assignment of meaningful business names for auto discovered Applications and Tiers is disclosed. Properties of members of a virtual computing environment are automatically determined. Performing a tokenization process on text corresponding to the members to obtain information from the text. Utilizing a document generation operation to obtain tokens from the text. Performing a text mining operation on the text to obtain Term Frequency (TF) data, Document Frequency (DF) information, an Inverse Document Frequency (IDF), and TF-IDF data, and utilizing the TF-IDF data to automatically generate and assign a name to the Application/Tiers of said virtual computing environment.
