Publication number: 20140149492Abstract: An arbitrary customer instance is transferred from a customer environment to a target managed-infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment as a transferred image. An image adjustment plan, capturing at least one adjustment required to render the transferred image compliant with standards of the target managed-infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment, is formulated. The image adjustment plan is executed to adjust the transferred image to obtain an adjusted image compliant with standards of the target managed-infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment. The adjusted image is on-boarded into the managed-infrastructure-as-a-service cloud environment as a standard image thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2012Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Rema Ananthanarayanan, Kamal Bhattacharya, Florian Graf, Praveen Jayachandran, Bharat Krishnamurthy, Lakshminarayanan Renganarayana, Marcel Schlatter, Kristiann J.

Patent number: 8649552Abstract: A data obfuscation method, apparatus and computer program product are disclosed in which at least selected text entities such as words or abbreviations in a document are obfuscated to prevent the disclosure of private information if the document is disclosed. A user establishes various configuration parameters for selected text entities desired to obfuscated. The document is processed and text entities matching the configuration parameters are tagged for obfuscation. The tagged entities are then substituted in the document with obfuscating text. The obfuscating text can be derived from a hash table. The hash table may be used to provide a reverse obfuscation method by which original data can be restored to an obfuscated document.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2008Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sreeram Viswanath Balakrishnan, Rema Ananthanarayanan, Souptik Datta

Patent number: 8561126Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for automatically enforcing obligations in accordance with a data-handling policy are disclosed. Requests by users for accessing data stored in a data repository are intercepted. A determination is made whether any obligations apply to each data item requested in accordance with the data handling policy. The determination may relate to whether rules having associated obligations identified in the data-handling policy apply to data items requested by a user. The obligations are automatically executed at an appropriate time after access of the data. Association of a data item requested by the user with an obligation may be recorded and tracked to determine the appropriate time for executing the obligation.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2004Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rema Ananthanarayanan, Mukesh K Mohania, Ajay Kumar Gupta, Calvin Stacy Powers, Sachindra Joshi, Manish Anand Bhide

Patent number: 7945525Abstract: The embodiments of the invention provide methods for obtaining improved text similarity measures. More specifically, a method of measuring similarity between at least two electronic documents begins by identifying similar terms between the electronic documents. This includes basing similarity between the similar terms on patterns, wherein the patterns can include word patterns, letter patterns, numeric patterns, and/or alphanumeric patterns. The identifying of the similar terms also includes identifying multiple pattern types between the electronic documents. Moreover, the basing of the similarity on patterns identifies terms within the electronic documents that are within a category of a hierarchy. Specifically, the identifying of the terms reviews a hierarchical data tree, wherein nodes of the tree represent terms within the electronic documents. Lower nodes of the tree have specific terms; and, wherein higher nodes of the tree have general terms.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2007Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rema Ananthanarayanan, Sreeram V.
