In an approach to assessing safety of a vehicle based on usage context, one or more computer processors receive a planned usage of a vehicle from a user. Based on the received planned usage, one or more computer processors determine a set of preferred vehicle characteristics. One or more computer processors retrieve a maintenance record and a usage history of a first vehicle. Based on the maintenance record and the usage history, one or more computer processors determine one or more vehicle characteristics of the first vehicle. Based on the set of preferred characteristics and the one or more vehicle characteristics of the first vehicle, one or more computer processors calculate a usage match score. One or more computer processors generate a risk assessment report.

In an approach to determine performance information of a target item operating under a particular set of context information, a method, in response to receiving a request for performance information of a target item, and operating with a first computing device, identifies context information of the first computing device. The method determines whether a knowledge base includes a response that correlates to the request for performance information of the target item operating within context information similar to the first computing device. The method, in response to determining that the knowledge base includes the response that correlates to the request for performance information of the target item, sends the performance information to the first computing device, and initiates a communication channel between the first computing device and a second computing device operating the target item and having similar context information of the first computing device.

Assisted smart device context performance information retrieval

An example operation may include one or more of an authentication system determining authentication rules, the authentication system determining scan properties, the authentication system operating a scanning device to capture scan data for a physical object based on the scan properties and the authentication rules, the authentication system generating a data block based on the scan data and the scan properties, and the authentication system transmitting the data block to a decentralized database.

Certifying authenticity via dynamic dimensional coordinate scanning and decentralized data storage

A method for monitoring safety conditions within an environment includes monitoring an environment by identifying one or more users accessing the environment based on existing and generic profiles selected based on visual recognition and analysis techniques, and consensually monitoring activity within the environment. A context of a situation of the one or more users accessing the environment is determined, based on a set of predetermined rules tailored to the environment, identified users of the one or more users, and monitoring data from monitoring the activity of the one or more users within the environment. Responsive to determining the context of the situation within the environment is an unsafe, based on the monitoring data and the set of predetermined rules, a mitigating action is selected from a set of mitigating actions corresponding to the determined context of the situation, and the mitigating action that is selected is automatically deployed.

Virtual safety guardian

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for cognitive vetting is provided. The present invention may include determining that an identified person is not expected. The present invention may include retrieving historical information relevant to a past interaction with the identified person. The present invention may then include enabling a present interaction with the identified person. The present invention may lastly include determining a recommendation based on an analysis of the retrieved historical information and the present interaction.

Embodiments of the invention provide for a location aware trust based currency exchange. A method for location aware trust based currency exchange includes receiving in a mobile device on behalf of an end user a request to conduct a peer-to-peer currency exchange transaction. A database is then queried for a listing of partners geographically proximate to a location indicated by the request, the listing including both a trust value for each of the partners indicative of a trustworthiness for a corresponding one of the partners and also an exchange rate offered for each of the partners. The listing is then displayed in the mobile device. Finally, in response to the end user selecting one of the partners in the listing, a message is transmitted to the selected one of the partners indicating a desire by the end user to conduct the peer-to-peer currency exchange transaction.

Embodiments of the invention include a method, system and computer program product for the continuous cognitive discovery and management of cloud services in an aggregated distributed application. One method includes receiving a textual specification of cloud service criteria, searching a registry for cloud services corresponding to the textual specification and presenting locating cloud services corresponding to the textual specification. Thereafter, the located cloud services are ranked and presented and one or more of the presented cloud services are selected for deployment and deployed as part of an aggregated distributed application. Thereafter, the registry is searched to locate and rank new cloud services based upon the textual specification, and in response to determining that one of the new cloud services is ranked higher than an existing one of the cloud services already deployed, the determined one of the new cloud services is deployed into the aggregated distributed application.
