Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for automatically creating a funding event in response to identifying an issue. The method includes one or more processors identifying an issue and an individual associated with the issue. The method further includes one or more processors determining whether the individual meets eligibility criteria of a crowdfunding platform. In response to determining that the identified individual does meet eligibility criteria of the crowdfunding platform, the method further includes one or more processors creating a funding event for receiving donations to resolve the identified issue.

Automatic generation of a funding event

Dynamic data discovery can identify variables or changes in a business environment which can impact existing business rules and can match identified triggers. A business rule associated with a business rule management system can be identified. The business rule management system can be a component of an enterprise organization. The rule can be an operation, a definition, and a constraint associated with the organization. The organization can be a person, a process, a product, a service, or a computing device. Relevant information can be determined from a dynamic data associated with a data source. The determination can be made through the use of semantic analysis. A business pattern associated with the rule can be semantically matched with a dynamic pattern associated with the information. The pattern can be a semantic pattern of the information. A new business rule can be automatically generated from the dynamic data analysis.

Utilizing a dynamic data source to affect business rule management

A computer utilizes a matrix code to securely communicate information. To utilize the matrix code, the computer receives a scan of the matrix code, and identifies a first mask within a data region of the matrix code, wherein the first mask includes public user data, and identifies a second mask within the data region of the matrix code, wherein the second mask include private user data. The computer decodes the public user data and the private user data from the matrix code, and decrypts one or both of the public user data and the private user data. The computer also removes a distortion operation from the second mask, wherein removing the distortion operation includes reversing a transformation, rotation, skew, shear, reflection, or projection operation.

Matrix code for encryption, storage, and transmission of data

A computing device utilizes matrix codes to securely communicate information with a variety of servers. The computing device receives public user data, and generates a display of a base matrix code for reading by a scanner associated with a first server, wherein the base matrix code includes the public user data in a first mask. Responsive to the display of the base matrix code to the scanner associated with the first server, the computing device receives first private user data from the first server. The computing device generates a display of a first combined matrix code for reading by a scanner associated with a second server, wherein the first combined matrix code includes the public user data in the first mask and includes the first private user data in a second mask. The computing device can receive the public and first private user data in a matrix code.

A middleware system, method and program product for managing workflows among computer applications. The middleware system includes: a common construct unit and a workflow export unit. The common construct unit (i) retrieves a mapping between a component of a macro workflow of the middleware system and a micro workflow component of a first computer application and (ii) executes the macro workflow which orchestrates micro workflows of the first computer application and a second computer application. The workflow export unit generates an output that enables the second computer application to execute a workflow that corresponds to the workflow of the first computer application.

Managing and optimizing workflows among computer applications

A system for providing emergency-related information. The system can include a processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions. The system can also include one or more communications devices utilized by a user, wherein the one or more communications devices is communicatively linked with a provider. Additionally, the system can include a personalized notification route engine (PNRE) configured to execute on the processor and communicatively linked with the provider. The PNRE can be configured to receive geospatial information associated with the one or more communications devices via the provider. Also, the PNRE can be configured to obtain data comprising one or more among evacuation routes, evacuation rules, demographic data, environmental conditions, external alerts, real-time traffic data, and traffic control data. The PNRE can further be configured to determine the emergency-related information based on the geospatial information and the obtained data and transmit the determined emergency-related information to the user via the provider.

System and method for calculating and disseminating intelligent evacuation routes based on location awareness and integrated analytics

Video analysis capabilities can be integrated into an emergency response system and/or a video operations center (VOC) monitoring for emergency incidents. At least one computer program driven response action involving detecting patterns in video streams that comprise video of an incident can be performed. This response action can be directed to VOC personnel and/or to emergency response system personnel. Further, the response action can result in an automated responses to an emergency incident and/or to an alerting of humans monitoring video to focus on a particular video stream/incident. One such response action, which increases video capture activity at a geographic location of the incident, can occur responsive to a receipt of an emergency call by the emergency response system. Another response action can analyze at least one video stream of the geographic location and can automatically dispatch (in approximately real time) an emergency responder to the geographic location. Still another action can analyze the video stream of a geographic location, can determine a high likelihood of an emergency incident, and can provide an alert in a user interface of the emergency response system or a VOC. Video of the incident can also be provided in the user interface.
