  • Patent number: 11475381
    Abstract: Risk assessment for a computing system being developed can include receiving a user input specifying a proposed topology for a computing system. The proposed topology is defined by a first software product to be used and an architecture having a first non-functional component. A problem knowledge repository is searched using a processor for records of problems correlated with the proposed topology. A level of risk in implementing the computing system using the proposed topology is calculated according to the searching using the processor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 24, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 18, 2022
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION
    Inventors: Jonathan Dunne, Morten Kristiansen, Jeffrey B. Sloyer, Ian D. Stewart

  • Patent number: 10176459
    Abstract: Historical content corresponding to activity of a user in at least one social networking service is aggregated. The historical content indicates a plurality of collaboration partners with whom the user collaborated via the at least one social networking service in an occupation context. Based on the aggregated historical content, at least one of the collaboration partners can be identified as at least one priority collaboration partner. Whether the user currently is not in a facility where the user works can be automatically determined. Responsive to determining that the user is not in the facility where the user works, a message indicating that the user is not in the facility where the user works can be automatically sent to the at least one priority collaboration partner.
