Embodiments relate to a computer system, computer program product, and method to prevent unauthorized file dissemination and replication. A file parameter is defined, with the defined file parameter including a file dissemination characteristic. The file is encoded with the defined file parameter as file metadata. Dissemination and replication of the file is managed responsive to the encoded file parameter. The defined parameter is assessed along with a physical replication destination. The file is selectively replicated or transmitted responsive to the file parameter and the destination assessment.

Geography aware file dissemination

According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining a sensory profile, identifying an occurrence of a sensory aspect event affecting a user, comparing the sensory aspect event to the sensory profile, determining from comparing the sensory profile, whether the sensory aspect event is a positive sensory aspect, and countering and/or adjusting the sensory aspect event in response to determining the sensory aspect event is not a positive sensory aspect.

Method for sensory orchestration

At least some embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method that comprises receiving original input text that includes a term, comparing a definition of the term to definitions of multiple candidate replacement terms to generate a set of candidate replacement terms, and substituting each of the candidate replacement terms in the set for the term in the original input text to produce a plurality of modified input texts. The method also comprises determining the grammatical accuracy of each of the plurality of modified input texts, comparing meanings of the modified input texts to a meaning of the original input text, and modifying the set of candidate replacement terms based on the determinations of grammatical accuracy and the comparisons of the meanings. The method still further comprises ranking the modified set of candidate replacement terms using one or more criteria, and displaying the ranking on a display.

Identifying linguistic replacements to improve textual message effectiveness

A search continuation device and its operations include, for example, performing a first electronic search based on first search criteria. The first electronic search generates first search results. The operations can further include electronically storing search data associated with the first electronic search (e.g., in a user account). The operations can further include performing a second electronic search with second search criteria substantially similar to the first search criteria. The second electronic search generates second search results. The operations can further include, retrieving the search data (e.g., from the user account), and providing, based on the search data, one or more indicators for presentation with the second search results. The one or more indicators specify continued search information, such as a degree to which content contained within an item of the first search results was previously accessed or a difference between the first search results and the second search results.

Providing continued searching and associated indicators

Disclosed aspects relate to analytics engine selection management. A set of reference data may be ingested by a first analytics engine to compile a first set of characteristic data. The set of reference data may be ingested by a second analytics engine to compile a second set of characteristic data. The first set of characteristic data may be compiled for the first analytics engine. The second set of characteristic data may be compiled for the second analytics engine. A set of distinct attributes related to the first and second analytics engines may be determined based on the first and second sets of characteristic data. An analytics engine selection operation may be executed.

Analytics engine selection management

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes receiving a first set of inputs from a first plurality of users. A history of interactions and/or collaborations of a first group of users of the first plurality of users is accessed. A latent class model of the first plurality of users is generated using information obtained from the accessing. It is determined from the latent class model whether any of the first plurality of users exceed a predetermined threshold of relatability. Users of the first plurality of users that are determined to exceed the predetermined threshold are allowed access to a generated first state of a forum. Users of the first plurality of users that are determined to not exceed the predetermined threshold and the users of the first plurality of users that are determined to exceed the predetermined threshold are allowed access to a generated second state of the forum.

Selective collaboration of users within a forum based on prior activity of the users within one or more forums

A method, system and computer program product for disambiguating meaning of terms. A natural language processing system obtains a first corpora of words used in a first sense and a second corpora of the same words that are used in a second sense. Each of these corpora of words may be associated with different linguistic domains. The natural language processing system generates a first and a second set of patterns using both the first and second corpora of words, respectively. A question passage is then received by the natural language processing system. The natural language processing system examines a word of interest in the question passage. The user is then notified that the word of interest is being used in the first sense or the second sense in response to identifying the word of interest in only the first set of patterns or the second set of patterns, respectively.

Disambiguation of the meaning of terms based on context pattern detection

A Voice-over-IP (VOIP) system includes a plurality of multi control units (MCUs), in which a first MCU hosts a VOIP session. A method for recommending an MCU to host the VOIP session includes receiving MCU status associated with performance of each of the first MCU and a second MCU included in the VOIP system. The method further includes determining, based on the first and the second MCU status, that hosting the VOIP session on the second MCU can improve a VOIP system metric. According to the method, a recommendation is communicated to transfer hosting the VOIP session to the second MCU.

Performance regression between a first version of an application and a second version of the application are detected using a comparison between transaction response times measured at a plurality of resource levels of a computer system. A first set of transaction response times (for the first version) are used to determine lower and upper limit line graphs. A new line graph determined from second set of transaction response times (for the second version) can be compared with the lower and upper limit line graphs to detect a performance regression.

System and method for detecting system's performance regression

A method for following asynchronous and synchronous productivity application communications includes providing, by an update processor, a targeted medium with a notification for changes associated with the productivity application communication based on a promotion of the productivity application communication to the targeted medium. The update processor further receives subscriptions for receiving update notifications through the targeted medium for the changes associated with the productivity application communication.

Following/subscribing for productivity applications

A Voice-over-IP (VOIP) system includes a plurality of multi-control units (MCUs). A first MCU in the VOIP system hosts a first VOIP session that joins a plurality of conference devices. Based on an impact metric being acceptable, and an alternate MCU accepting to host the VOIP session, the system joins the plurality of conference devices to a replacement VOIP session hosted on the alternate MCU.

Analytics and visualization for logical dependency mapping of computer servers may be provided. Data collected from computer servers is received and analyzed to discover logical dependencies among the computer servers, for example, to discover communications between one or more of operating systems, middleware and applications associated with the computer servers. The computer servers may be grouped into one or more dependency groups based at least on a user-defined grouping criterion. The one or more dependency groups and their logical dependencies may be output.
