Abstract: Migration of virtual machines within a computing environment is facilitated. A processor obtains a current virtual machine to host mapping in the computing environment, as well as a plurality of future virtual machine to host mappings. A current migration plan to migrate from a current state of the computing environment to another state of the computing environment is also obtained. Based on the current virtual machine to host mapping and one or more future virtual machine to host mappings of the plurality of future virtual machine to host mappings a determination is made that one or more potential alert conditions exist in the current migration plan. The current migration plan and/or one or more future virtual machine to host mappings are displayed. The current migration plan is adjusted to address at least one potential alert condition of the one or more potential alert conditions to improve processing within the computing environment.

Abstract: In an approach to providing feedback to a user using a wearable computing device, a computer records an activity being performed by a user operating a wearable computing device, and identifies the activity being performed by the user. The computer retrieves performance data corresponding to the activity being performed by the user, and determines, based on the retrieved performance data and the recorded activity being performed by the user, whether the user deviates from the retrieved performance data. Responsive to determining the user deviates from the retrieved performance data, the computer transmits, based on the retrieved performance data, performance feedback to the user.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes integrating a charging pad into a powered device having a power supply, where the powered device is at least one of a monitor and a keyboard. The method includes configuring the charging pad to receive a first chargeable device in a charging position relative to the charging pad. The method further includes configuring the charging pad to deliver an electrical charge from the power supply to the first chargeable device when the chargeable device is in the charging position.

Abstract: An audio touchscreen system receives microphone location data respectively corresponding to a plurality of microphones. Sonic signals corresponding to a sonic event respectively transduced by each microphone is triangulated, to determine the location of the origin of the sonic event upon the audio touchscreen, based on the sonic signals and the microphone location data. User input data is generated based on the location of the sonic event as determined by the triangulation.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to virtual machine (VM) migration via a mobile device. A method includes requesting, by a mobile device, a source computer to capture a state and memory contents of a VM executing on the source computer. The VM includes the state, the memory contents, and data. The state and memory contents of the VM are stored on the mobile device. Security information about a target computer is determined by the mobile device. A migration of the VM to the target computer is initiated by the mobile device. The initiating includes sending the stored state and memory contents of the VM from the mobile device to the target computer. An activation of the VM on the target computer is initiated and access is provided to at least a subset of the data of the VM. The subset is selected based on the security information.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving a first user communication, accessing a directory entry associated with the user, accessing, by a processor, a database stored in a memory that includes content designated as private that is associated with the user in the directory, determining with the processor whether the first user communication includes content designated as private that is associated with the user, generating a second user communication by removing the content designated as private that is associated with the user from the first user communication, and sending the second user communication to an electronic personal assistant.

Abstract: A method for operating a processing system comprising in a hypervisor, negotiating with a host platform to determine compatibility between a virtual machine and the host platform, responsive to determining that the virtual machine is compatible with the host platform, receiving a control block from the virtual machine, tagging the control block with information that associates the control block with a control group, determining whether the hypervisor is a base hypervisor, and scheduling the control block for processing responsive to determining that the hypervisor is the base hypervisor.
