Abstract: In an approach to augmenting authentication methods using a face covering, one or more computer processors receive an image of a user wearing a face covering, where a portion of the face of the user is visible in the image, and the face covering covers another portion of the face of the user in the image. One or more computer processors detect an identifier operably coupled with the face covering. One or more computer processors determine whether the first portion of the face of the user is associated with the identifier. In response to determining the first portion of the face of the user is not associated with the identifier, one or more computer processors receive an alternate authentication. One or more computer processors authenticate the user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented process for contextual application programming interfaces in a development environment comprising receiving a user profile data set for use in software development work, formulating a query to locate a set of application programming interface(s) (API(s)) most suited to the software development needs of the software developer; communicating the first query to an API search engine, and receiving a response data set from the API search engine that includes information identifying one or more API(s) most suited to the needs of the software developer.

Abstract: Electronic calendaring and travel monitoring are provided to facilitate alternate travel routing of an attendee(s) to a meeting. The approach includes receiving a meeting time and location, and ascertaining that multiple attendees are traveling to the meeting, including obtaining originating locations for the multiple attendees. The method also includes determining, based at least in part on respective originating locations and the meeting location, that at least one attendee traveling to the meeting is subject to a travel delay based on travel conditions, and is predicted to be delayed to the meeting. Further, at least one other attendee traveling to the meeting is notified that the at least one attendee is delayed, and one or more alternate travel routes for that other attendee(s) are generated based, at least in part, on an estimated delay of the at least one attendee, and on a specified attribute(s) for the alternate travel route(s).

Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for identifying one or more visualization characteristics of a user interface (UI) associated with an application on a client device and generating a query plan based on the one or more visualization characteristics, a historical performance of a network infrastructure and a current status of the network infrastructure. In addition, a response to a query from the application may be generated in accordance with the query plan. In one example, generating the query plan includes selecting a number of elements in a responsive data set and/or selecting one or more of a plurality of service endpoints in the network infrastructure to handle the query based at least in part on the one or more visualization characteristics.
