Abstract: Connecting an IoT device enabling a new function of another IoT device. An IoT hub scans a network segment for presence of an IoT device. Upon detecting the IoT device, a device response pattern is received. The device response pattern is compared with stored response patterns. A matching stored response pattern is selected which has a similarity to the device response pattern. A pattern difference is derived. Related device information is transformed into a device signature for the IoT device. The device signature is transferred to a discovery engine. The device signature is compared to stored signatures and protocol information. A matching stored signature and protocol information is transferred to the IoT hub. The IoT hub compares the new function with functions of other connected IoT devices. Upon finding a matching other IoT device, the other IoT device is offered a usage of the new function and protocol information.

Abstract: One or more processors compute a number of times that a string of text is identified within an online news feed. One or more processors compute a score for the string of text, at least in part, by multiplying the number of times the string of text is identified within the online news feed by a number representing a uniqueness of the string of text. In response to a determination that the score exceeds a first configurable threshold value, one or more processors generate an electronic notification. The electronic notification alerts of an anticipated change in one or more computer hardware capacity requirements of a networked computer system.

Abstract: A packet is analyzed at an outbound end of a tunnel from a first data network to determine whether the packet is directed to a first remote target in a first remote data network over a first tunnel or to a second remote target in a second remote data network over a second tunnel. A target address of the packet is present in both the first remote data network and the second remote data network. When the packet is to be directed to the first remote target in the first remote data network, an octet in the target address of the packet is changed from a first value to a second value, the changing forming a modified packet. When the second value is stored in the octet, the modified packet is caused to be sent to the tunnel for delivery to the second data network.

In response to determining that the command matches the one or more tasks, the computer system updates start dates and times of the one or more tasks. And, in response to that the one or more tasks are completed, the computer system updates stop dates and times of the one or more tasks.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which an information handling system collects first service data records, from a first service provider, that correspond to first microservice runtime environments (MREs). Next, the information handling system collects second service data records corresponding to second microservice runtime environments (MREs) from a second service provider that is different from the first service provider. The information handling system then identifies an application that includes a first microservice and a second microservice. The first microservice executes on a selected one of the first MREs and the second microservice executes on a selected one of the second MREs.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide approaches for associating a user identity to a wireless signal based on information received at an access point. Specifically, when a first user presents a set of user credentials to a physical access point, his/her profile is accessed to authenticate the first user. A set of wireless signals emanating from one or more wireless devices operated by the first user is also received at the physical access point and associated with the first user. Information about the first user may then be broadcast and accessed by a second user (e.g., via his/her mobile device) in proximity to the first user and in receipt of the set of wireless signals associated with the first user.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which an information handling system deploys a first microservice included in an application to a first microservice runtime environment (MRE). The information handling system receives a first set of performance metrics corresponding to a performance level of the first microservice in the first MRE, and receives a second set of performance metrics corresponding to a second MRE. Then, the information handling system determines that the first microservice will have a higher performance level in the second MRE than in the first MRE based on comparing the first set of performance metrics against the second set of performance metrics. As a result, the information handling system redeploys the first microservice from the first MRE to the second MRE.
