  • Publication number: 20180018434
    Abstract: In an approach to determining doctor availability, one or more computer processors receive a request for doctor availability in a patient's hospital room from a patient advocate. The one or more computer processors determine a current location of a doctor's mobile computing device. The one or more computer processors determine, based, at least in part, on the current location of the doctor's mobile computing device, an arrival time of the doctor in the patient's hospital room. The one or more computer processors send a notification to the patient advocate of the arrival time of the doctor in the patient's hospital room.

  • Publication number: 20160139908
    Abstract: A technique for automating the construction of multiple virtual images with interdependencies includes creating a first virtual image (VI) instance by extending a first base VI based on input values associated with the first base VI and software bundles associated with the first base VI. A second VI instance is created by extending a second base VI based on input values associated with the second base VI, instance values received from the first VI instance, dependency instance values received from a deployed dependency instance, and software bundles associated with the second base VI. The first and second VI instances are then deployed to designated machines in a cloud environment for execution.

  • Publication number: 20090204966
    Abstract: A “follow-me” utility runs on each of a plurality devices a person may typically use. This utility monitors applications running on a device and intelligently saves the state of tasks a user is performing. When the follow-me utility detects that the user has initialized another device having the follow-me utility and connectivity to the original device, the utility automatically and transparently creates an environment on the new device so that the user may continue the task at the same point as when he or she last performed the task on the original device. When the user continues a task or starts a new task, the follow-me utility automatically and transparently updates files and task states on any devices having the follow-me utility and connectivity. The follow-me utility may make intelligent task migration decisions based on conditions such as network bandwidth, security policy, location, and device capability.
