Abstract: An approach is provided in which an information handling system creates a container that includes security information. The information handling system deploys the container to a container group and, in turn, performs a security-related action based on the security information.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for autonomic caching in an IMDG has been provided. A method for autonomic caching in an IMDG includes receiving from a client of the IMDG a request for a primary query in the IMDG. The method also includes associating the primary query with a previously requested sub-query related to the primary query. Finally, the method includes directing the sub-query concurrently with a directing of the primary query without waiting to receive a request for the sub-query from the client. In this way, the method can proactively predict a receipt of the request for a sub-query following a request for a primary query prior the actual receipt of the request for the sub-query.

Abstract: Techniques are described for scaling an in-memory data grid to satisfy the needs of client applications requesting data from the in-memory data grid. The in-memory data grid may monitor a variety of factors, such as data traffic or number of received queries from a particular geographical region, to determine whether to create a proximity grid. A proximity grid is an extension of the in-memory data grid that services queries originating from a defined geographic region. Each proximity grid stores data objects relevant to the proximity grid's assigned geographic region. Queries originating from the client applications within the geographic regions are then routed to the corresponding proximity grid for execution. The proximity grid may be terminated when the need of the client applications within the geographic region has subsided.

Abstract: A method for processing transactions within a token transfer device, such as a smartphone or other portable electronic device. The method includes storing a transaction token having a specified transaction resource value and an associated validation parameter in the memory of the token transfer device. A transaction communication interface initiates a transaction service with a token recipient terminal and invokes a token state manager. The token state manager determines an event corresponding to the specified validation parameter by determining a transaction resource network connect activity status and by determining condition register data associated with the validation parameter. The token state manager then issues a transaction modification call based on the determined event and the validation parameter.

Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of executing a blockchain transaction which generates modifications to an asset, identifying a most recent version of the asset comprising most recent values of the asset before the blockchain transaction, generating a delta block for the executed blockchain transaction identifying differences between the modifications to the asset and the most recent version of the asset introduced by the blockchain transaction being executed while excluding unmodified values of the most recent version of the asset which are not modified by the executed blockchain transaction, and hashing the delta block to generate a hashed delta block and storing the hashed delta block on a distributed ledger.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for optimized continuous query processing in an in memory data grid (IMDG). In an embodiment of the invention, a method for optimized continuous query processing in an IMDG includes receiving a request to add an object to an IMDG. The method also includes evaluating a continuous query upon the object in order to produce a result. The method yet further includes adding an attribute to the object referencing the continuous query and assigning a value to the attribute of the result. The method even yet further includes inserting the object with the attribute into the IMDG. Finally, the method includes returning the value of the attribute in lieu of repeating an evaluation of the continuous query in response to receiving a request to repeat an evaluation of the continuous query in respect to the object.

Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of identifying blockchain transactions for a particular blockchain, identifying blockchain transaction metrics from the blockchain transactions, determining whether the blockchain transaction metrics require a change to current blockchain operating rules, and when the blockchain transaction metrics require the change to the current blockchain operating rules, modifying the current blockchain operating rules.

Abstract: A method for processing a resource account transaction within a wireless electronic device, such as a smartphone or other portable electronic device. During or at the initiation of a resource transaction with a near-field transaction terminal, the device receives from the terminal via a first communication interface, a resource account system ID. A locally stored resource account is selectively identified based on the received resource account system ID. The device sends a resource account application ID corresponding to the selected resource account to the near-field transaction terminal via the first communication interface. From the near-field transaction terminal, the device receives a token ID that is associated with the selected resource account, and sends, the token ID to an account management system via a second communication interface. The device receives from the account management system a transaction token comprising the token ID associated with a specified transaction resource value.

Abstract: A blockchain of transactions may be referenced for various purposes and may be later accessed by interested parties for ledger verification. One example operation may comprise one or more of creating an initial identifier representing an asset and an owner entity of the asset in a blockchain, identifying an identity block associated with the initial identifier, and identifying an asset transfer of the asset from the owner entity to a blockchain entity.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach that evaluates a locally running image (e.g., such as that for a virtual machine (VM)) and determines if that image could run more efficiently and/or more effectively in an alternate computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). Specifically, embodiments of the present invention evaluate the local (existing/target) image's actual and perceived performance, as well as the anticipated/potential performance if the image were to be migrated to an alternate environment. The anticipated/potential performance can be measured based on another image that is similar to the existing/target image but where that image is running in a different computing environment. Regardless, the system would display a recommendation to the end user if it were determined that the image could perform better in the alternate environment (or vice versa). It is understood that performance is just one illustrative metric for which the system would perform a comparison.
