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

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

Mitigating the risk of sensor data loss can include establishing, with a computing node, a first communication channel with a first proximate device and a second communication channel with a second proximate device. The first proximate device can be operatively coupled to a sensor and can generate data in response to signals received from the sensor. The computing node can receive the data generated by the first proximate device. The data can be received from the second proximate device via the second communication channel in response to detecting a failure to receive a complete uncorrupted transmission of the data from the first proximate device via the first communication channel and determining that the second proximate device is capable of receiving and retransmitting the data to the computing node.

Mitigating sensor data loss

Responsive to each of a plurality recipients of an electronic communication accessing the electronic communication and accessing information that is associated with the electronic communication but not contained in a body of the electronic communication, activity information relating to activities of respective electronic communication recipients accessing information associated with the electronic communication can be received. A request to receive at least one recommendation as to who is able to provide information pertaining to the electronic communication can be received from another electronic communication recipient. Responsive to receiving the request, each of the electronic communication recipients can be rated to generate at least one recommendation as to who is able to provide information pertaining to the electronic communication, the recommendation based, at least in part, on the received activity information and respective weighted attributes. The recommendation can be communicated to other electronic communication recipient.
