Abstract: Embodiments relate to generating a virtual machine (VM) migration plan. An initial mapping of VMs to hosts is determined as an origin state and a final mapping of VMs to hosts as a goal state. Candidate paths are generated from the initial mapping to the final mapping. The candidate paths are evaluated based on a heuristic state transition cost from the origin state through intermediate states to the goal state by recursively obtaining a list of transitions that a parent state underwent. A heuristic goal cost is identified to reach the goal state from the intermediate states based on a fewest number of VM movements. The VM migration plan is generated based on the heuristic state transition cost of the candidate paths in combination with the heuristic goal cost of a sequence of transitions from the origin state to the goal state having a lowest total cost.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include identifying a plurality of selected bits of usage data of a virtual machine. A desired message may be encoded, by a computer processor, as a steganographic message stored in the plurality of selected bits in the usage data. Encoding the desired message may include manipulating one or more resources of the virtual machine to cause a change in the plurality of selected bits in the usage data. The usage data may be provided to the hypervisor, and the steganographic message may be observable in the usage data.

Abstract: An aspect receiving a new weather forecast. A temporally coherent analog modeling process is performed to identify a historical weather forecast that matches the new weather forecast. The new weather forecast is updated based on historical weather observations at points in time in the historical weather forecast. The updating includes: shifting a point in time in the historical weather forecast based on a factor determined by a previously executed dynamic time warping (DTW) of the historical weather forecast and the historical weather observations; and modifying the new weather forecast based on the historical weather observations at the shifted point in time. The updated new weather forecast is output.

Abstract: An estimated time to migrate a VM from a source hypervisor to a target hypervisor is calculated. The estimated time is compared to a threshold time and based on the estimated time meeting the threshold time, a migration of the VM from the source hypervisor to the target hypervisor via the network is initiated. Based on the estimated time not meeting the threshold time, it is determined whether an additional path can be added to the network between the source hypervisor and the target hypervisor. If an additional path cannot be added to the network, a migration of the VM from the source hypervisor to the target hypervisor via the network is initiated. If an additional path can be added to the network, the additional path is added and the migration via the network is initiated.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems, and computer program products of a Wi-Fi charging system. An example Wi-Fi charging system includes a plurality of chargeable devices (CD) configured to be charged wirelessly. The plurality of chargeable devices is grouped into a fully charged group, and a need-charging group according to a charging status of each of the plurality of chargeable devices respectively. The Wi-Fi charging system also includes at least one access point (AP) that wirelessly charges the chargeable devices using a Wi-Fi communication network.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for selecting songs using a heart rate change, a blood pressure change, and a facial expression of a listener. A computer receives a song from a music source selected by a listener and determines whether the song is appropriate. The computer starts to play the song, in response to determining that the song is appropriate. A camera connected to the computer detects a facial expression of the listener. The computer determines whether the facial expression is positive. In response to determining that the facial expression is positive, the computer the song in full. The camera connected to the computer detects a heart rate change and a blood pressure change of the listener. The computer tags the song with updated information.
