Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for managing geographic locations of resources utilized to operate and support a workload. The method includes one or more processors identifying a request. Processing resources of a first network accessible computing system, located at a first geographic location, are allocated to execute the request. The method further includes determining an originating geographic location of the request and determining parameters for executing the request. The method further includes identifying a second network accessible computing system based on the parameters. The second network accessible computing system is located at a second geographic location associated with the originating geographic location of the request. The method further includes determining whether to relocate at least a portion of processing resources allocated to execute the request from the first network accessible computing system to the second network accessible computing system.

Distributing computing resources based on location

A method is proposed for operating a mobile computing device. A potentially dangerous condition for a user of the mobile computing device is detected according to its position. A responsiveness level of the user (to recognize the potentially dangerous condition) is determined according to one or more operative parameters of the mobile computing device. One or more interactive functionalities of the mobile computing device are controlled in response to the potentially dangerous condition according to the responsiveness level. A computer program and a computer program product for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, a mobile computing device for implementing the method is proposed.
