Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided for reducing message passing for contention detection in distributed SIP server environments. The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to determine that a first site is waiting for a first object locked by a second site. The programming instructions are further operable to determine that a third site is waiting for a second object locked by the first site, and to send a first probe to the second site to determine whether the second site is waiting. A second probe is received and indicates that a site is waiting for an object locked by the first site. The second probe further indicates a deadlock in a distributed server environment to be resolved.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for controlling an operation of a video capture device (e.g., in a cognitive robotic device). In an embodiment, a set of conditions is obtained using a cognitive computer system. Each of the obtained conditions includes a specific individual and a potential action that may be performed by the individual. The cognitive computer system analyzes video being captured by the video capture device to determine whether the video satisfies any of the set of conditions (e.g., the individual in the video is performing the action). If the cognitive computer system determines that one of the set of conditions has been satisfied, the operation of the video capture device (e.g., capture rate of the video) is modified to account for the satisfied condition.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling unwanted phone calls. In response to a determination that a phone number of a current incoming call to a user is not a phone number in a contact list including phone numbers of the user's contacts and to a determination that the phone number of the current incoming call is a phone number in a phone list of a shared table, the shared table for the previous call duration is analyzed for the previous call duration and the previous sentiment of the user during a previous incoming phone call for the phone number of the current incoming call to the user. It is ascertained, from analyzing the shared table for the previous call duration, that the previous call duration is less than a predetermined call duration and the previous sentiment is a negative sentiment, and in response the current incoming call is rejected.
