Abstract: The system, method, and computer program product described herein provide ways to modify a user interface when a performance of the user interface degrades due to lack of resources including presenting the user interface to a user that includes a first element that requires an allocation of a first amount of resources of a server to perform a function, determining that a performance of the user interface has degraded below a threshold amount, in response to determining that the performance has degraded, identifying a second element that requires an allocation of a second amount of resources of the server to perform the function where the second amount of resources is smaller than the first amount of resources, and replacing the first element with the second element to reduce the required amount of resources that are allocated by the server to the user interface.

Abstract: Techniques for management of applications are provided. A first application is executed on a first mobile device, and a current geographic location of the first mobile device is determined. A first user in proximity to the first mobile device is identified based on a predefined proximity criterion, where the predefined proximity criterion comprises a predefined distance from the first mobile device. Responsive to identifying the first user in proximity to the first mobile device, a first action defined based on a predefined association between the first application, the first user, and the determined current geographic location of the first mobile device is identified in a registry, and the first action is performed to modify at least one of the first mobile device and the first application.

Abstract: A computer accesses a target application to retrieve a plurality of target properties that correspond to a plurality of target styles of the target application and accesses a source to a plurality of source properties that correspond to a plurality of source styles of the source. Generating a target list that list the plurality of target properties and target styles, and generating a source list that list the plurality of source properties and source styles. Comparing the plurality of target styles from the target list to the plurality of source styles from the source. In response to matching some of the plurality of target styles to some of plurality of source styles, replacing the properties that correspond to the match plurality of target styles with the properties of the match plurality of source styles. Transmitting the replaced properties that correspond to the plurality of target styles.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products to perform an operation comprising executing a first application on a mobile device, identifying a first user in proximity to the mobile device based on a predefined proximity criterion, and responsive to identifying the first person in proximity to the mobile device, identifying, in a registry, a first action defined on the basis of a predefined association between the first application and the first user, and performing the first action to modify at least one of the mobile device and the first application.

Abstract: A method for managing virtual machine policy compliance. The method for restoring compliance of a virtual machine found to be non-compliant to a compliance rule may comprise detecting non-compliance of a virtual machine using a compliance agent, detaching the virtual machine from a network, creating a copy of a compliance repository volume, mounting the newly requested disk resource having stored the copy of the compliance repository volume, applying a remediation action to the virtual machine, and triggering by the compliance agent a compliance scan for ensuring that the virtual machine complies to the compliance rule.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for processing a service request of a service catalog. A service request is received. Context information of a service specification comprised by the service request is determined. Using the context information, a predicted user satisfaction metric is calculated. Based on a predicted user satisfaction indicated by the predicted user satisfaction metric, a response to the service request is determined.

Abstract: A method for processing a help desk ticket comprising a problem description is provided. The method includes receiving the ticket submitted by a user of a help desk system. A skill level of the user may be determined from user profile data accessible to the help desk system. The skill level describes the user's skill related to a predefined topic. At least one topic may be determined based on the problem description. Candidate solutions may be retrieved from at least one information system based on the problem description; and the candidate solutions may be filtered and/or ranked based on matching the determined topic and the user's skill level. An associated computer system and computer program product is also provided.
