Abstract: Method, system and computer program product for transaction evaluation based on a potential impact of the potential transaction on defined plans. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving at a financial analysis computer system specified interactions intercepted when a person uses a client computing device to identify a potential transaction, and the analysis computer system processing these interactions for determining a potential impact of said transaction on one or more defined goals of the person. Before the person commits to the transaction, the analysis computer system generates a client guidance signal based on this determining, and sends the client guidance signal to the client computing device to instruct that device to convey guidance to the specified about the transaction. The specified interactions received at the financial analysis computer system data may identify a transaction context and activity of the person.

Abstract: A method prevents a cascading failure in a complex stream computer system. The method includes receiving binary data that identifies multiple subcomponents in a complex stream computer system. These identified multiple subcomponents include upstream subcomponents that generate multiple outputs and a downstream subcomponent that executes a downstream computational process that uses the multiple outputs. The method dynamically adjusts which of multiple inputs are used by the downstream subcomponent in an attempt to generate an output from the downstream subcomponent that meets a predefined trustworthiness level for making a first type of prediction. If no variations of execution of one or more functions used by the downstream subcomponent ever produce an output that meets the predefined trustworthiness level for making a first type of prediction, then computer hardware executes a new downstream computational process that produces a different second type of prediction.

The operations include extracting the respective data for the timestamps that correspond to the timebox, and creating a package with the extracted respective data from the meeting input sources.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to determining the health of a network community. Aspects include defining, via a computer processor, measurable aspects associated with the network community. The measurable aspects include metrics for one or more of: quantified interactions among users in the network community, quantified activities among the users that are associated with a topic, and quantified activities indicative of network community accessibility. Aspects also include monitoring activities conducted via the network community, collecting data from monitored activities that correspond to the measurable aspects, and analyzing collected data from the monitored activities. The analyzing is performed as a function of the metrics. Aspects further include determining, via the computer processor, a health status of the network community from results of the analyzing.

Abstract: A computer hardware-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product prevents a cascading failure in a complex stream computer system causing an untrustworthy output from the complex stream computer system. Multiple upstream subcomponents in a complex stream computer system generate multiple outputs, which are used as inputs to a downstream subcomponent, wherein the multiple upstream subcomponents execute upstream computational processes. An accuracy value is assigned to each of the multiple outputs from the upstream subcomponents, and weighting values are assigned to each of the inputs to the downstream subcomponent. If using the accuracy values and weighting values fails to adjust the downstream subcomponent to meet a predefined trustworthiness level for making a first type of prediction, then a new downstream computational process that produces a different second type of prediction is executed.

Position coordinates are received from a plurality of entities. It is determined which of the entities will occupy the physical zone over a time frame, the physical zone including at least one environmental characteristic. Environmental preferences are accessed for the entities determined to occupy the physical zone for the time frame. The environmental characteristic of the physical zone is adjusted for the time frame based on the accessed environmental preferences for the entities.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product identifies a cause of a level of success in multiple projects from a set of past projects. Multiple artifacts describe conditions associated with each project from a set of past projects, where a cause for a level of success in the past projects is initially unknown. Logic identifies a set of common artifacts in multiple projects from the set of past projects, where the set of common artifacts describes common conditions that are common to all of the multiple projects. Additional logic identifies a level of success experienced by each of the multiple projects. In response to a particular set of projects having a same level of success, common conditions identified by the set of common artifacts are identified as the cause for the same level of success experienced by all of the projects in the particular set of projects.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates a recommendation for a worker to be included in a project team. A requisite skill set that is not presently needed, but will be needed in the future, by a project team is determined. Historical data that describe antecedent conditions, which caused a historical worker to obtain the requisite skill set, is received. A candidate worker's current skill set data is adjusted with skill set enhancers, which are available to members of the project team, to generate a predicted future skill set of the candidate worker. In response to the needed requisite skill set matching the predicted future skill set of the candidate worker, a recommendation is generated for adding that candidate worker to the project team.
