Abstract: An embodiment for improved estimating of end-user performance of cloud-based services. The embodiment may collect, for a target cloud-based service, a first dataset including network level metrics, and a second dataset including end-user performance data from one or more monitoring services. The embodiment may combine the collected first dataset and second dataset to generate a curated training dataset. The embodiment may train a machine learning prediction model using the curated training dataset. The embodiment may predict and estimate, using the trained machine learning prediction model, the end-user performance of the target cloud-based service for any target end-user.

Abstract: A first computational device with a first visual display and a second computational device with a second visual display are maintained, wherein the first computational device is configured to read information displayed on the second visual display, and wherein the second computational device is configured to read information displayed on the first visual display. Byte streams are exchanged bidirectionally between the first computational device and the second computational device via the information displayed on the first visual display and the information displayed on the second visual display, wherein active radio transmission between the first computational device and the second computational device is avoided.

Abstract: Embodiments are related to improving the bandwidth of classical networks using quantum networks. Sender equipment transfers quantum bits over a quantum communications network to receiver equipment, the quantum bits being used to obtain entry values in a shared dictionary. The sender equipment determines a solution for an optimization problem using the entry values, where data to be transferred over a telecommunications network is expressed by the optimization problem. The sender equipment transfers the solution over the telecommunications network to the receiver equipment, where an equivalence of the data is transferred to the receiver equipment in response to the receiver equipment using the solution, the optimization problem, and the entry values to obtain the data.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes receiving at least one set of qubits at a first client component, and using the at least one set of qubits to index a configuration dictionary to determine a first configuration. The configuration dictionary defines a plurality of different configurations. The method further includes causing the first client component to be configured according to the first configuration. A computer program product, according to another approach, includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a first client component to cause the first client component to perform the foregoing method. A system, according to another approach, includes a processor, and logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor. The logic is configured to perform the foregoing method.

Abstract: A method, computer program product and system are provided to provide control mechanisms in unidirectional data transfers. A processor connects to a secure device via a unidirectional connection. A processor sends a packet to the secure device via the unidirectional connection. A processor receives, from the secure device via a passive out-of-band channel, feedback regarding the transmission of the packet. A processor, in response to the feedback indicating that the packet was incorrectly received, resends the packet via the unidirectional connection with the secure device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes determining whether a predetermined sequence of knocks has been performed by a requesting node to other nodes of a network along existing paths between the requesting node and the other nodes. In response to a determination that the predetermined sequence of knocks has been performed, a connection is established between the requesting node and a first of the other nodes. A computer program product, according to another embodiment, includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method. A system, according to another embodiment, includes a processor, and logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor. The logic is configured to perform the foregoing method.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for repairing a software of a computing system are provided. Aspects include receiving a request to diagnose the software, the software including a plurality of software components configured to communicate with each other via application programing interfaces and creating a representation of the software in a virtual reality environment. Aspects also include identifying an error in the software based on error logs generated by the software and identifying one or more of the plurality of software components and the application programing interfaces that correspond to the error. Aspects further include displaying a visual indication of the error in the virtual reality environment, wherein the visual indication is determined based on a type of the error, receiving, via the virtual reality environment, a corrective action from a user, and performing a task in the software based on the corrective action, wherein the task is configured to address the error.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes determining a plurality of downstream task models of a foundation model, and arranging the downstream task models into a logical tree structure. Each node of the logical tree structure represents a sequence of layers of an associated one of the downstream task models. In response to a determination that a request for inferencing on a target model has resulted in a cache miss occurring, the logical tree structure is used to identify an inferencing server that satisfies at least a first predetermined prerequisite for fulfilling the inferencing request. The method further includes causing the identified inferencing server to fulfill the inferencing request. A computer program product, according to one embodiment, includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product is provided for establishing a dynamically adaptive network firewall. A firewall model is established that identifies resources that can be used and a plurality of nodes that connect to one another to form a network. A set of external rules and policies are provided to each resource. The firewall implemented using the firewall model upon receiving of incoming data and upon traffic flow. The firewall expands or contracts the network by adding or removing resources according to work that needs to be performed. The work includes both tasks to be completed and efforts that has to be taken by the firewall to ensure security by preventing unauthorized access into the network.

Abstract: Seat covers are sewn inside-out and then inverted to fit over a frame. Inversion is accomplished by threading the sewn seat cover over a pair of generally parallel arms. The sewn seat cover is generally in the form of a pocket. The closed end of the pocket is engaged by the blunt edge of a plate. The plate pushes the closed end between the arms forcing the structure of the pocket to ride up and over the top of the arms and downward between the two arms thereby inverting the seat cover to a right side out condition.
