Abstract: An automated extensible scraping script is generated for web scraping that is extensible to a plurality of domains. Web sites are classified based on common extracted domain data, further clustering the data based on common navigation structures, and using such commonalities to automate the generation of scraping code based on predefined and reusable code snippets for specific parts of the web sites. Scraping services include a mapper module and a script generator module. Building blocks include a data model updater, a navigation model generator and a navigation model matcher. An administrative module includes domain clustering and configuration file maintenance.

Abstract: A method for modeling dependencies in a computing system including a plurality of resources, the method includes generating usage data based on data communications in a computing environment between a first resource and a second resource; determining resource relationship data for the first resource and the second resource including the usage data; and computing a measure of bonding between the first resource and the second resource based, at least in part, on recency of the data communications.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for differentiated service identification/exposure in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). In a typical embodiment, input model criteria will be generated. Such criteria may (among other things): identify service categories based on contextual bindings and domain centric functions; identify inter-service dependencies for a given business model (BPM); and/or provide dynamic validation of services to be exposed/identified. Embodiments of the present invention may further analyze service exposure criteria to provide efficient and accurate service exposure decisions as well as validation of the service exposure. This approach allows for consistent service exposure determinations based on decision histories of similarly (2-dimensional) aligned services in the past.

Abstract: In an approach for providing a dynamic boundary based approach for monitoring and metering, a processor provisions at least one agent to one or more network accessible resources, wherein the at least one agent is configured to allow for monitoring and metering. A processor provides at least one dynamic boundary for monitoring and metering. A processor receives information captured by the at least one agent provisioned to the one or more network accessible resources based on the dynamic boundary for monitoring and metering. A processor causes the information to be available for use.

Abstract: A computing device receives information from one or more agents, wherein the one or more agents monitor one or more resources in a cloud network. The computing device determines that the configuration of the one or more agents monitoring the one or more resources needs to be changed based on at least the information received from the one or more agents. The computing device changes the configuration of the one or more agents monitoring the one or more resources based on at least the information received from the one or more agents.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements for performing a tree-based asset search. An asset model is assimilated. The asset model is transformed into an asset tree search model. An asset search query is accepted and the asset search query is parsed. An asset search is conducted via applying the parsed asset search query to the asset tree model.
