Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method are provided to automate management of a computer architecture as represented in a codified infrastructure with one or more embedded dynamically labeled resources. The codified infrastructure is subject to interpretation within the context of the dynamically labeled resources. The dynamic labels are converted to static labels, after which the corresponding architecture is deployed. The deployment architecture continues to be updated when the meaning of the dynamic labels change.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for narrowing a user's web search based on the user's web browsing history, where a log of webpages downloaded by the user is generated. A search query is received in an interface; and, a processor connected to the interface filters results of the search query based on the log. The filtering of the results includes restricting results of the search query to only webpages that were downloaded by a user when the user was in a select emotional state, only webpages that were downloaded by the user when the user was located in a select geographic location, only webpages that were downloaded by the user from a select device, and/or only webpages that were downloaded by the user when at least one select application was running on a device that downloaded the webpages. The filtered results are displayed on a display connected to the processor.
