Abstract: Tracking software usage through the following operations: calculating current digests of common libraries used by software programs and obtaining digital signatures of tracking information of the software programs comprising identifiers of their common libraries and the corresponding current digests; responses are returned to calls for the software programs in association with the corresponding tracking information and digital signatures. A corresponding method under the control of a client comprises receiving a response to a call for a software program in association with the corresponding tracking information and digital signature. The common libraries of the software program are tracked according to a verification of the digital signature and of the current digests against corresponding reference digests. Computer programs and computer program products for performing the methods are proposed. Moreover, corresponding server computing system, client computing system and computing infrastructure are proposed.

Abstract: A solution is proposed for reviewing a control of access in an information technology system. A corresponding method comprises retrieving an indication of granted accesses to objects, being granted to subjects according to policies based on attributes. Virtual roles (each defined by one or more of the attributes) are determined according to a correlation among access types of the granted accesses and the attributes of the subjects being granted them. A computer program and a computer program product for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, a system for implementing the method is proposed.

Abstract: Methods provide cognitive management of multiple subaccounts wherein processors are configured to determine an expense type for an input of an expense event to a linked account structure that links subaccounts that are each associated to different respective ones of a plurality of group members. In response to determining that the input expense event expense type most-strongly matches an expense type of a nearby in time calendar expense, methods allocate expense costs of the input expense to member subaccounts pursuant to a first expense allocation rule utilized in the nearby calendar event for allocating expenses. In response to determining that the input expense event expense type does not match the expense types of a nearby calendar events, methods further allocate the input expense event costs pursuant to a second expense allocation rule selected as a function matching the input event expense type to behavior data of a member.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe selective discovery, management, and deletion of personal data. The method accesses a set of data on a networked resource. The data is formed of a plurality of data elements which are arranged in at least one data table. The method identifies one or more sensitive data elements within the set of data related to one or more individuals. The method determines a sensitivity level of the one or more sensitive data elements and generates a catalogue including at least one new data element representative of the one or more sensitive data elements and based on the sensitivity level of the one or more sensitive data elements. The method tags the one or more sensitive data elements within the catalogue based on the sensitivity level of the one or more sensitive data elements corresponding to the new data element.

Abstract: Provided are techniques for automatically correcting touchscreen errors. A first location input is received from a user touching a global touchscreen of a global device, where the first location input is a location relative to a display surface of the global touchscreen. It is determined that movement of the global device is different from movement of a local device. Motion information of the local device is retrieved. The first location input is corrected to a second location input based on the motion information. In response to the second location input, an operation is performed.

Abstract: A cognitive system collects online behaviors of a user and an affinity group of users who are related (e.g. by relationship, or behavioral similarities) to the user. A knowledge base of behavior and sentiment patterns is produced and maintained. If real-time data for the user shifts in behavior and/or sentiment and significantly deviates from established patterns, the system looks for a similar behavior and/or sentiment pattern shift among members of the affinity group. If the affinity group patterns shift in a manner similar to the first user's pattern shift, the cognitive system, in response, updates the knowledge base with information related to the shift, thereby adding knowledge to the long-term patterns. If the cognitive system finds that the user's behavior and/or sentiment pattern shift differs significantly from the affinity group, the system generates an empathy fostering alert message and sends it to one or more recipients.

Abstract: A webpage notification control system is provided. A computing device monitors a plurality of website content stored on a database.

Abstract: A tool for distress management. The tool determines a level of distress associated with a user. The tool identifies a next action to be performed by the user. The tool determines a level of distress associated with the next action. The tool determines whether the associated level of distress exceeds a predetermined threshold. Responsive to a determination that the associated level of distress exceeds the predetermined threshold, the tool alerts the user of an impact to the level of distress associated with the user.
