Abstract: Performing server virtual machine image migration and dependent server virtual machine image discovery in parallel is provided. Migration of a server virtual machine image that performs a workload is started to a client device via a network and, in parallel, an identity is continuously discovered of a set of dependent server virtual machine images corresponding to the server virtual machine image being migrated to the client device. In response to discovering the identity of the set of dependent server virtual machine images, a server migration pattern of the discovered set of dependent server virtual machine images is generated for the workload. A level of risk corresponding to migrating each dependent server virtual machine image of the discovered set of dependent server virtual machine images to the client device is calculated based on the server migration pattern of the discovered set of dependent server virtual machine images for the workload.

Abstract: A method for predicting effects of climate change on supply chain performance includes receiving a global climate change model, a supply chain model, and at least one element model. A regional climate model modeling local weather is generated using the global climate model. A first supply chain performance is simulated using the supply chain model, the element model and the regional climate model. One or more extreme weather events are forecasted using the regional climate model. A second supply chain performance is simulated using the supply chain model and the forecasted extreme weather events. A score is determined for the supply chain performance.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and/or computer system controls icon movement behavior on a graphical user interface. A file hosting icon and a data file icon are displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI). The file hosting icon represents a file hosting service, and the data file icon, which is capable of being moved towards the file hosting icon on the GUI to initiate storage by the file hosting service, represents data. The behavior of movement of the data file icon is adjusted according to a position of the data file icon relative to a position of the file hosting icon on the GUI, and based on predefined features of the data relative to predefined features of the file hosting service.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product dynamically configures a delivery system for delivering products to smart mats. A delivery coordination server determines a location of multiple smart mats. Each of the smart mats includes a positioning system and a transmitter that transmits a message describing the real-time geophysical location of the smart mats. The delivery coordination server receives a message describing a location of a first delivery vehicle that is transporting a first package addressed for delivery to a first smart mat. The delivery coordination server determines that the first smart mat has moved to a location that is within a predetermined distance of a second smart mat, to which a second delivery vehicle is scheduled to deliver a second package. The delivery coordination server directs the first delivery vehicle to transfer the first package to the second delivery vehicle for delivery to the first smart mat.

Abstract: Software that uses machine logic based algorithms to help determine and/or prioritize an application programming interface's (API) desirability to a user based on how closely the API's terms of service (ToS) meet the users' ToS preferences. The software performs the following steps: (i) receiving a set of API ToS feature information that includes identifying information for at least one API and respectively associated ToS features for each identified API; (ii) receiving ToS preference information that relates to ToS related preferences for a user; and (iii) evaluating a strength of a match between each respective API identified in the API ToS feature information set and the ToS preference information to yield a match value for each API identified in the API ToS feature information set.

Abstract: A method for operating a cognitive monitor includes measuring a cognitive tone of a user, determining a categorization of the cognitive tone of the user, selecting an effector using the categorization of the cognitive tone of the user, wherein the effector is selected to achieve a predicted future cognitive tone in the user, and applying the at least one effector using a feedback mechanism of the cognitive monitor

Abstract: Methods and a system are provided. A method includes optimizing, by a natural language processing based response optimizer having a processor, responses in an online question and answer session using natural language processing. The optimizing step includes deriving a candidate answer to a question posed in natural language and gathering support for the candidate answer by accessing a social network. The support is weighted by at least one of degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, Eigenvalue, hub, and authority of nodes in the social network that are associated with the support.

Abstract: A processor stores information associated with one or more programming modules, including one or more license terms associated with the one or more programming modules. The processor receives an input indicating a set of programming modules selected from the one or more programming modules, based on the information which is stored. The processor compares the one or more license terms associated with the set of programming modules. In response to determining a conflict between the one or more license terms of the set of programming modules, the processor applies a set of rules to resolve the conflict between the one or more license terms of the set of programming modules, and the processor composes a composite license for the set of programming modules, based on the one or more license terms of the set of programming modules and the set of rules applied to resolve the conflict.

Abstract: A security method that includes assigning a sensitivity value for a communication with a sensitivity determining module including at least one hardware processor. Following assignment of the sensitivity value to the communication, the communication is formatted for display. When sensitivity value exceeds a security threshold, the communication is parsed into a sequence of fragments. The communication is transmitted as the sequence of fragments when said sensitivity value exceeds the security threshold.
