Abstract: For modifying travel estimates, a memory stores maps and a plurality of travel records. A measurement circuit determines travel parameters. A current schedule anxiety is calculated as a difference between a nonzero constant value and the relative arrival time. The memory stores the travel parameters to a travel record of the plurality of travel records each time a specified driver drives to a location. A modification circuit modifies an arrival time travel estimate based on a driver profile for the specified driver calculated from the travel parameters and the plurality of travel records. The modification circuit further updates the driver profile in the memory with the current schedule anxiety and the speed based on current schedule anxiety. A display presents the modified arrival time estimate.

Abstract: Embodiments for, in an object storage environment, managing data replication between first and second sites of a distributed computing environment by one or more processors. A first pass metadata hash is calculated for each of the objects in an object-set that is subsequently transferred from the first to the second site. Responsive to the second site, a second pass metadata hash is calculated for remaining objects of the object-set that are identified by the second site at a sub-object level using a predetermined size.

Abstract: Embodiments for, in a shared storage environment, managing data replication between first and second sites of a distributed computing environment by one or more processors. Based on an identified data block-set for replication, a unique metadata map is generated as a computed snapshot of the identified data block-set, the metadata map accounting for a predetermined block-size for transfer. The unique metadata map is transferred to the second site. The second site adds the unique metadata map to a global metadata repository.

Abstract: Embodiments for, in a shared storage environment, managing data replication between first and second sites of a distributed computing environment by one or more processors. Metadata is pre-seeded from the first to the second site as an assembled metadata map. Data blocks corresponding to the pre-seeded metadata not currently stored at the second site are determined by the second site using the metadata map within a deduplication environment. A transfer request for the data blocks is returned by the second site to the first site.

Abstract: Embodiments for integration of social interactions in shared media by a processor. The social interactions are mapped in real time according to a predetermined preference. Duplicate ones of the social interactions are managed according to a data deduplication operation. The shared media is analyzed in view of the mapped social interactions to generate placement or duration display attributes for the social interactions such that the mapped social interactions and the shared media may be concurrently viewed on a particular display without obfuscating content of the shared media at a particular time.

Abstract: Embodiments for managing social commentary as applicable to social media by a processor. A spectrum of weights is assigned to individual portions of the social commentary as a function of a determined measured characteristic. Those of the individual portions having a higher weight than a predetermined threshold are selected to be displayed through the social media in a hierarchy corresponding to a position in the spectrum of weights, while those of the individual portions having a lower weight than the predetermined threshold are selected to be withheld from display. A deduplication operation is applied to individual portions of the social commentary. Those of the individual portions determined to be repetitive greater than a predetermined number are used to assist in formulating weights of the individual portions.

Abstract: A computer room management device communicates with a serviceable device via a computer room serviceability network (CRSN) that is distinct from other functional data networks utilized to accomplish computing tasks. The CRSN may be, for example, a Bluetooth connection that provides for the communication of serviceability instructions between devices within the computer room. The management device instructs the serviceable device to activate a location identifier proximately located to a service location. The management device provides a service interface that includes a representation of the activated location identifier along with instructions for providing service at the service location.
