Patent number: 11080632Abstract: A method and system. The method includes receiving datacenter context input information, processing the datacenter context input information, and outputting the cost-versus-datacenter-quantity information. The processing the datacenter context input information may generate the cost-versus-datacenter-quantity information. The cost-versus-datacenter-quantity information is a total datacenter cost to run an application versus a quantity of datacenters used to run the application.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2016Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nathaniel J. Gibbs, Matthew M. Lobbes, Shelbee D. Smith-Eigenbrode, Brian J. Snitzer

Patent number: 10911395Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable tailoring messages to enhance sharing and resonance based on a community fingerprint and a key influencer. More specifically, a message to be directed to members of an online social community is received. Members of the social community who influence the social community and their likelihood to re-share messages are identified. A re-share fingerprint for the identified influencer is generated that maps the influencer's likelihood to re-share content. A communications fingerprint of the community is also created using an amalgamation of the communication patterns and styles of individual members of the community. The received message is optimized to most effectively target the message to the online social community and to solicit a desired response from the community based on the community communication fingerprint. The optimized message can then be forwarded to the online social community.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nathaniel J. Gibbs, Matthew M. Lobbes, Shelbee D. Smith-Eigenbrode, Brian J. Snitzer

Patent number: 10623346Abstract: A computer-implemented for delivering tailored content to an individual includes: obtaining, by a computer system, communications of the individual; obtaining, by the computer system, a communication fingerprint for the individual based on analysis of the communications of the individual; tailoring, by the computer system, a message to the individual using the communication fingerprint; and delivering the message to the individual. Using sentiment analysis combined with a unique communication fingerprint for an individual advantageously provides for a more tailored, and thus more effective, communication to the individual.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Nathaniel J.

Patent number: 9699201Abstract: An approach for responding to a threat in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) is provided. In an embodiment, a set of associations to a virtual machine (VM) instance are established, each association indicating a relationship between the VM instance and a related VM instance. Each of the associations in the set of associations is assigned a strength attribute. When a threat is detected in a VM instance, a first preventative measure is performed on a first related VM instance, the strength of which is determined based on the strength attribute that corresponds to the association between the VM instance and the first related VM instance. A second preventative measure is performed on a second related VM instance, the strength of which is based on the strength attribute that corresponds to the association between the VM instance and the second related VM instance.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Swaminathan Balasubramanian, Matthew M.
