Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide for automatically selecting optimal fetch settings for business processes as a function of database query load and relational context by monitoring usage of a data retrieval point with respect to a defined unit of work. A multilayer feed-forward neural network is used to predict, as a function of training sets composed of historical data generated by the monitored usage of the data retrieval point, a future value of a data size of results from an eager fetch setting for the data retrieval point. The eager fetch is automatically revised to a lazy fetch setting in response to determining that the future data size value of the eager fetch setting results is larger than a permissible memory resource threshold.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for managing copies of data objects in a network data processing system. The computer system identifies copies of a data object stored on storage devices. The computer system places the storage devices into groups. Each storage device in a group has a smallest distance from the storage device to a center location for the group as compared to distances to center locations for other groups within the groups. The computer system selects a portion of the copies of the data object for removal from the storage devices based on a management of power for the storage devices such that remaining set of storage devices in each group is capable of handling concurrent requests that have been made historically for the copies of the data object. The computer system removes the portion of the copies of the data object from the storage devices.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed that facilitates context delivery during communication sessions. The approach may be implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to: render at least one service to a user device through a communication session; collect information of the communication session; and send the information of the communication session to a service provider when a call is setup between the user device and the service provider. The service provider renders the information of the communication session for viewing by the service provider.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided for wireless establishment of identity via bi-directional radio-frequency identification (RFID). The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable for sending device data including at least a username and a password to a transceiver. The method also includes receiving an identifier of an access point in a wireless network from the transceiver, the transceiver sending the device data to the access point via a security server. The device data is sent to the access point based on the identifier of the access point, the access point establishing a secure connection to the computer infrastructure based on the device data received from the transceiver and the computer infrastructure.
