A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product to optimize sleep quality by inducing sleep stages. The method includes: determining a total sleep time; calculating, using the total sleep time, a cycle duration for a sleep cycle, where the sleep cycle includes a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth sleep stage; calculating a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth stage time for the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth sleep stages respectively; generating a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth external parameter for the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth sleep stages respectively, where the external parameters are parameters to facilitate a transition between sleep stages; and executing the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth external parameters upon reaching the calculated stage time for the corresponding sleep stages.

Cognitively inducing sleep cycles by leveraging wearables

A method, computer system, and computer program product for cognitively adjusting a notification alert delivery time are provided. The embodiment may include receiving a message notification from a sender. The embodiment may also include determining an importance of the received message notification based on a plurality of notification attributes and a plurality of person attributes that are each associated with the received message notification. The embodiment may further include, in response to determining to alert a user of the received message notification based on the determined importance, identifying a current user sleep stage. The embodiment may also include, in response to determining the current user sleep stage will minimally impact the user, transmitting the received message notification to a user device.

Enabling wearables to cognitively alter notifications and improve sleep cycles

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for generating a schedule for promotions using promotional windows. A set of product data associated with a plurality of products is received. Promotion data is received, and a plurality of intensity scores are calculated for the associated promotional data. A set of target product data associated with a target product is determined. A set of target promotional attributes is determined and a plurality of promotion windows are generated for display. A confidence value is determined for each generated promotion window of the plurality of promotion windows. An order list is generated for display. In response to receiving a second set of promotion data, the determined confidence value is modified for each generated promotion window of the plurality of promotion windows.

Mitigation of perishable product waste through promotion recommendation

A query is received that includes two or more facets of a multidimensional inverted index for a collection of documents. Each document is associated with at least one facet. Generation of the multidimensional inverted index includes creating one or more entries. Each entry includes a combination of two or more facets and a posting list of indications for the documents associated with respective facets of each entry. Each indication identifies a document. Generation of the index also includes determining documents associated with respective facets of the combination of each entry. The multidimensional inverted index is searched for an entry having the combination of two or more facets included in the query and a search result is returned. An indication for a document may be included in a posting list if it is determined that the document is associated with each facet of the combination of facets of the entry.

Multifaceted search

Embodiments herein are directed to a method for installing a program across multiple memories. The method includes calculating a memory space requirement of the program. It may be determined that a first available memory space in a first memory of the first computer system is smaller than the memory space requirement. The first memory is a default memory for installing the program. Upon determining that the first available memory space in the first memory is smaller than the memory space requirement, the method may perform the step of identifying a second memory in communication with the first computer system that has a second available memory space. The first and second available memory spaces, when combined, are sufficient for the memory space requirement to install files of the program. The files of the program may be installed in the first and second memories.
