Abstract: Software configuration management for a software system under development includes receiving a change to the software system under development from a first user, determining a merit score for the first user, wherein the merit score is calculated according to success of prior changes received from the first user, and comparing, using a processor, the merit score for the first user with a merit threshold for the software system under development. The change is accepted for inclusion in a build of the software system under development responsive to determining that the merit score for the first user complies with the merit threshold.

Abstract: Calculating a failure intensity value for a group of search sessions is provided. In one example, a method for calculating a failure intensity value for a group of search sessions is provided. The method includes obtaining, by a computing device comprising a processor device, the group of search sessions, where each search session of the group of search sessions includes user input that identifies a search query. The method further includes classifying each search session of the group of search sessions into one or more result categories, where each result category is indicative of an outcome of a search session. The method additionally includes calculating the failure intensity value for the group of search sessions based on a combination of weighted values of the group of search sessions, where the weighted values are based on the one or more result categories of the group of search sessions.

Abstract: A method includes storing metadata associated with content from at least one content source, determining that the content is being presented, receiving data representing a biometric attribute associated with a content consumer, determining that the content consumer is consuming the content, and updating the metadata associated with the content in response to determining that the content consumer is consuming the content.

Abstract: According to embodiments of the invention, a method, a computer readable storage medium, and a computer system for data collection and distribution are provided. The method may include receiving an electronic request for data from a data provider, wherein the request includes one or more characteristics of the client device. The method may also include identifying, as a function of the characteristics of the client device, a data set to be returned to the client in fulfillment of the request. The method may also include determining whether a cache of the data collector contains data sufficient to create the data set. The method may also include collecting, in response to determining that the cache does not contain data sufficient to create the data set, data from the data provider that is sufficient to create the data set. The method may also include providing the data set to the client device.
