Abstract: One embodiment provides a system for monitoring and controlling an online profile of a user. In response to receiving a data request from the user to access a first web site, the system forwards the data request and desired persona scores to an intelligence service system, receives a list of other web sites from the intelligence service system, and counteracts the user's access to the first web site by spawning multiple threads in accordance with the list received. The multiple threads spawned are transparent to the user. Further, the system alters an original data post submission from the user based on a desired translation option, maps the altered data post submission to a first key, and posts the altered data post submission to a target web site. The original data post submission is viewable only by the user and other users with the first key.

Abstract: A method for providing a virtual cloud service at the lowest actual cost can begin with an optimal transaction handler of a federated virtual service cloud maintaining a virtual resource pool of transactional units. Each transactional unit can represent a service application deployed to a cloud service provided by a cloud service provider having a usage-based service cost model that allows transactional units to be placed in an inactive state to suspend its operating expense. Operational metrics data for the cloud service providers can be continuously captured. In response to a service request, the transactional unit that meets fulfillment requirements of the service request and incurs a lowest actual cost can be determined based upon cost factors derived from the operational metrics data, the usage-based service cost model, and a current usage state of the virtual resource pool. The received service request can be routed to the determined transactional unit.

Abstract: A method for digital asset storage can begin with the maintenance of repository profiles and asset profiles by an asset accessibility advisement system for digital asset repositories. A repository profile can comprise attribute values that describe a digital asset repository. An asset profile can comprise attribute values that describe the digital assets contained in the digital asset repository. In response to an advisement request for a digital asset, an accessibility profile can be generated for the digital asset. The accessibility profile can express key attributes of the digital asset with regards to its subsequent accessibility by other entities. One or more digital asset repositories can be identified that best match the accessibility profile using the repository profiles and asset profiles. The determined digital asset repositories can then be presented as an asset accessibility recommendation.

Abstract: In an approach for creating an asset, a computer receives a selection of at least one asset element and determines whether one or more asset elements are associated with the selected asset element. In response to determining one or more asset elements are associated with the selected asset element, the computer determines, based, at least in part, on one or more linkage rules, whether one or more of the associated asset elements are in the asset. Furthermore, in response to determining that at least one of the associated asset elements is in the asset, the computer generates an asset map. The asset map, generated by the computer for the asset, depicts the linkage rules, the selected asset elements, and the associated asset elements in the asset.

Abstract: A method of selectively allocating a plurality of deployment units among a plurality of clouds. The method can include identifying a first context of a first deployment unit of a workload and identifying a second context of a second deployment unit of the workload. Based on the first context, a first of the plurality of clouds that satisfies at least one requirement indicated by the first context can be identified and the first deployment unit can be automatically allocated to the first cloud. Based on the second context, a second of the plurality of clouds that satisfies at least one requirement indicated by the second context can be identified, wherein the first cloud does not satisfy the requirement indicated by the second context, and the second deployment unit can be automatically allocated to the second cloud.

Abstract: A method of allocating cloud resources. A user interface can be presented to a user. The user interface can be configured to receive a user selection of a change of context for at least one of a plurality of workloads allocated to at least one cloud. Responsive to receiving the user selection of the change of context for the workload, via a processor, a service level agreement applicable to the workload can be dynamically changed from a first service level agreement to a second service level agreement, while the workload remains in an available state.

Abstract: A method for the modularized customization of a model within a model driven development environment includes selecting a template specifying a base model and different points of variability of a base model in a model driven development environment and transmitting over a data communications network an electronic form configured to receive data in different data fields representative of the points of variability. Thereafter, a submission of the electronic form can be received and data from the received submission representative of the points of variability can be extracted. Instructions can be added to a control file corresponding to the points of variability and the control file can be processed to generate artifacts in an import file specifying the points of variability. Finally, the import file can be imported into the model driven development environment and the base model modified with the points of variability of the artifacts.

Abstract: A computer determines the cost and risk of assets. The computer analyzes an asset signature, associated with an asset representing a fundamental structural unit of an information technology environment, to determine that the asset is in a non-normal state. The computer determines the cost of the asset by evaluating a price formula associated with the asset signature of the asset, and the computer determines the risk of the asset by evaluating a risk formula associated with the asset signature of the asset. The computer maintains a configuration item for the asset, indicating the state, the risk, and the cost of the asset. One or both of the risk and the cost of the asset are used to determine the priority of recovering the asset.

Abstract: In a discovery stage, a set of suspect rules can be utilized to determine if each environment asset of the computing environment is to be considered a suspect asset or a standard environment asset, where suspect assets are a subset of environment assets of the computing environment. In a confirmation stage, a set of stray rules can be used to determine whether each suspect asset is to be considered a stray asset, wherein stray assets are a subset of the suspect assets. A stray asset can be an asset defined and configured by a configuration management system that is active in the computing environment and is consuming resources of the computing environment yet is not needed by active processes of the computing environment and is unneeded by other active environment assets. For each stray asset, at least one resolution action (e.g., alert action, containment action, delete action) can be performed.

Abstract: A method for providing a virtual cloud service at the lowest actual cost can begin with an optimal transaction handler of a federated virtual service cloud maintaining a virtual resource pool of transactional units. Each transactional unit can represent a service application deployed to a cloud service provided by a cloud service provider having a usage-based service cost model that allows transactional units to be placed in an inactive state to suspend its operating expense. Operational metrics data for the cloud service providers can be continuously captured. In response to a service request, the transactional unit that meets fulfillment requirements of the service request and incurs a lowest actual cost can be determined based upon cost factors derived from the operational metrics data, the usage-based service cost model, and a current usage state of the virtual resource pool. The received service request can be routed to the determined transactional unit.
