Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for locating previously communicated electronic messages (e.g., emails, etc.). Specifically, the system will receive a request to locate/retrieve a previously communicated electronic message (“message”). The request can be issued by a sender or a recipient of the message. In any event, the request will include a set (one or more) of characteristics pertaining to the message such as a set of recipients thereof. One or more electronic messaging databases will then be searched based on the set of recipients and the message located. Once located, an alert will be sent to the requester and/or other message parties. The alert will indicate the message that was located. If the alert is validated (e.g., the message was the correct message), the message will be displayed.

The request is initiated by a first party on behalf of a second party. Specifically, the system will receive a request to locate/retrieve a previously communicated electronic message (“message”). The request can be issued by a sender or a recipient of the message. In any event, the request will include a set (one or more) of characteristics pertaining to the message such as a set of recipients thereof. One or more electronic messaging databases will then be searched based on the message located. Once located, an alert will be sent to the second party alerting the second party that the first party would like to recall the electronic message on their behalf. If the alert is validated (e.g., the message recall was accepted), the message will be displayed to the second party.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for identifying commands for virtual resource instances in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). Specifically, in a typical embodiment, a set of commands for an instance of a virtual resource may be received in a computer memory medium or the like. The commands may then be analyzed and information pertaining to the commands may be stored in a computer storage device or the like. When a user/requester later wishes to identify a command to be utilized for another instance of the virtual resource, the requester can access the information and be provided with a set of suggested commands that are typically utilized for similar and/or previous instances of the virtual resource.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide approaches for enforcing runtime policies in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). Specifically, in a typical embodiment, computer code and data of an application is annotated with metadata defining a set of runtime policies for executing the computer code and data. Once a request is received to run the application, a set of parameters (e.g., geographic location) corresponding to the execution of the computer code and data of the application is dynamically determined, and compared to the runtime policies. The runtime policies for executing the computer code and data are then enforced at runtime. This includes either running the application, or preventing the running of the application in the case that the set of parameters corresponding to the execution of the computer code and data of the application do not satisfy the runtime policies.

Abstract: An approach for deploying and managing applications in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). A user uploads an application for deployment in the networked computing environment. Metadata of the application is analyzed and compared to metadata of previously deployed applications. Using the comparison, a set of architectures used in conjunction with previously deployed application(s) with similar platform and middleware requirements are presented to a user. The user can select an architecture for deploying the application. The application is continuously monitored after deployment, and alternative architectures to improve the application can be presented to the user, if desired.

Abstract: An approach for user identity management in a virtualized/networked (e.g., cloud) computing environment is provided. In a typical embodiment, historical command usage within a server environment is analyzed to determine the characteristics of the commands being run against a cloud resource to determine with a confidence rating the likelihood the commands are being executed by a certain user. Such an approach allows for more efficient user identity management in order to optimize cloud security and system administration.

Abstract: An approach for addressing (e.g., preventing) detected network intrusions in a virtualized/networked (e.g., cloud) computing environment is provided. In a typical embodiment, users may group components/systems of an environment/domain according to a range of security sensitivity levels/classifications. The users may further configure rules for responding to security threats for each security sensitivity level/classification. For example, if a “highly dangerous” security threat is detected in or near a network segment that contains highly sensitive systems, the user may configure rules that will automatically isolate those systems that fall under the high security classification. Such an approach allows for more granular optimization and/or management of system security/intrusion prevention that may be managed at a system level rather than at a domain level.

Abstract: In general, embodiments of the present invention relate to conference management. Specifically, sequentially scheduled conferences (e.g., conference calls) are determined for a conference participant. The connection details (e.g., call-in details) for the second of the two conferences are retrieved. If the conference is not over when the second conference is scheduled to begin, a connection is initiated with the second conference using the connection details while maintaining a connection to the first conference.

Abstract: A computer displays a screen that includes a uniform resource locator (URL). In response to a selection of a uniform resource locator (URL) by an end-user at a computer, the computer intercepts a request within the computer to prevent the request from being sent to another computer. The computer determines whether the URL includes one or more parameters that define a field with a missing value, and that need entry of one or more input values from the end-user. The computer generates an electronic form utilizing the one or more parameters to formulate a field, within the electronic form, for each of the one or more parameters. The computer displays the electronic form including the field for each of the one or more parameters, which enables the end-user to enter information into the field within the electronic form.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for sharing electronic file metadata in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). In a typical embodiment, metadata related to electronic files stored in a shared storage device is maintained and updated. Such metadata may be viewable via a user interface of one or more applications used to access the files (e.g., from a plurality of computerized/electronic devices). Among other things, the metadata may identify previous accesses of the files (e.g., by user, date/time, etc.), and may be provided in a list or the like.

Abstract: Approaches described herein provide coordination of audio and/or video recording to minimize any gaps in coverage. In one approach, users of a distributed set of recording devices are invited to join a community with other similar users via a networked application in a loosely collaborative way. The recording coordination application substantially continuously monitors the state of the recording activities and coordinates the community of users to reduce any gaps in coverage.

Abstract: An approach is provided to automatically replicate content to certain servers in a networking environment based on, amongst other metrics, location of third parties accessing information in a social networking environment. The approach includes obtaining content from a user within a networked environment and analyzing information of one or more third parties that have access to the networked environment and who have an association with the user. The approach further includes replicating the content to one or more servers within the networked environment based on the analyzed information of the one or more third parties.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method and system for autoconfiguring a cloud instance based on contextual parameters. More specifically, an interface receives a request for a resource from a user; and, an analysis module connected to the interface examines parameters of the resource. The parameters of the resource include an encryption parameter and a language parameter. The analysis module also examines properties of the request, including a location of the user, at least one rule at the location of the user, and a dominant language at the location of the user. A processor connected to the analysis module determines whether the encryption parameter of the resource violates the rule at the location of the user. An instance generator connected to the processor creates a customized instance of the resource when the encryption parameter of the resource violates the rule at the location of the user.
