Abstract: A method of dynamically creating a change template based on a change request received from a user. A change request is assigned a category based on the specifics of the request. If at least one existing template for the category the change request is assigned does not exist, historical change requests are analyzed to identify similar changes in historical change requests to the change request and data is copied from a template used for a historical change that was similar to the change requested to create a draft template. The draft template is altered to remove information which is not relevant to the change request and is stored in a repository. The altered draft template is sent to a reviewer as a proposed template; and approved proposed templates from the reviewer are stored in the repository by category.

Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods for migrating datacenter data include providing a quantity of carriers having a data storage capacity, receiving, by the quantity of carriers, a quantity of data stored in a first data storage system having a first location and including erasure coded data blocks. The quantity of carriers migrates to a second data storage system having a second location; and transmits the quantity of data to the second data storage system.

Abstract: A method includes: determining, by a computer device, affinities between components in a networked computer system; determining, by the computer device, a risk level of each of the components; determining, by the computer device, a risk level of the networked computer system; detecting, by the computer device, a threat in the networked computer system; determining, by the computer device, an action based on the threat, the risk level of ones of the components affected by the threat, and the risk level of the system; and reconfiguring, by the computer device, the networked computer system based on the determined action.

Abstract: An approach for determining a veracity of a reported event is provided. In an embodiment, a set of predictor variables is retrieved from a selected use case. Each of these predictor values is a condition that indicates the veracity of the reported event. In addition, a set of hidden predictor variables is generated from a set of unstructured documents related to the reported event using a hidden Markov model that is based on the predictor variables using a cognitive system. These hidden predictor variables are combined with the set of predictor variables to generate a set of updated predictor variables. These updated predictor variables are used by the cognitive system to return a determination of the veracity of the reported event.

Abstract: A computer system processes a query to retrieve credible search results. One or more data sources are searched to retrieve search results pertaining to the query. Analytics are performed on the search results to produce a score for the search results, wherein the score indicates credible information within the search results and the analytics include one or more from a group of natural language processing and emotion analytics. In response to the score indicating a lack of credible information within the search results, the search results are analyzed to determine a consensus within the search results, wherein the consensus indicates credible information within the search results. The credible information of the search results is presented. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for processing a query to retrieve credible search results in substantially the same manner described above.

Abstract: A software license and a software installation process are managed. A status of the license can be one of at least a third party reserved status, a requester reserved status, a requester allocated status, and an available status. A first module can be operative to change the status of the license from the third party reserved status to the requester allocated status in response to receiving a mode selection. The mode selection can correspond to one of one or more modes. The modes can comprise a reserve license mode, a remove reserve mode, a request license allocation mode, a return excess license to inventory mode, an ordering mode, and an add license to inventory mode. The first module can be operative in at least one of the modes.

Abstract: From a sequence of answers, a last remaining answer is selected. A set of answers in the sequence of answers are responsive to a set of questions resolved during an analysis of a reported problem in a data processing environment. An answer pair is formed using the last remaining answer and another answer which immediately precedes the last remaining answer in the sequence of answers. A probability is determined of the last remaining answer being caused by the other answer in the answer pair. When the probability is below a threshold value, a review workflow is triggered corresponding to a portion of the analysis. The portion includes a question corresponding to an answer in the answer pair.
