  • Patent number: 10387133
    Abstract: A method and a related system for identifying unmatched registry entries may be provided. The method may comprise scanning a file system and discovering software based on a file signature, collecting first attributes of the discovered software, collecting native registry entries, and comparing the first attributes against second attributes of the collected registry entries based on a filtering rule. Thereby, the registry entries may be grouped into two groups. One group may represent matched registry entries and the other group may represent unmatched registry entries. The unmatched registry entries may be identified as unequivocal entries for further software discovery.

  • Publication number: 20150363687
    Abstract: An artificial neural network is used to manage software bundling. During a training phase, the artificial neural network is trained using previously bundled software components having known values for identification attributes and known software bundle asociations. Once trained, the artifical neural network can be used to identify the proper software bundles for newly discovered sofware components. In this process, a newly discovered software component having known values for the identification attributes is identified. An input vector is derived from the known values. The input vector is loaded into input neurons of the artificial neural network. A yielded output vector is then obtained from an output neuron of the artificial neural network. Based on the composition of the output vector, the software bundle associated with this newly discovered software component is determined.
