Mechanisms are provided for workflow data redistribution in a hybrid computing environment comprising a private portion and a public portion of the hybrid computing environment. A received user request, that is serviced by a workflow executed by one or more computing devices of the hybrid computing environment, is parsed to extract criteria of the workflow for servicing the user request. It is determined whether a catalog data structure exists in a public catalog data store of the public portion that satisfies the criteria of the workflow and if not, the user request is processed in a workflow manager computing system of the private portion to generate a catalog that satisfies the criteria of the workflow and generate a result. A portion of the catalog is redistributed by storing the portion of the catalog in the public catalog data store of the public portion.

Workflow data redistribution in hybrid public/private computing environments

Various embodiments are provided herein for implementing multiple thread scenes in a computing environment virtualized metaverse. A multi-layered thread to be instanced in the virtualized metaverse is developed. A main thread scene, and a virtualized avatar that is projected in the main thread scene, is developed. The creation and merger of the main thread scene with other thread scenes featuring the virtualized avatar throughout the multi-layered thread according to a predetermined methodology or overall theme, is enabled.

A method and system for registering images as non-fungible token images include a non-fungible token verifier verifying that an image has not been registered as a registered non-fungible token. Once the image is verified, an object recognizer recognizes objects of the image that are classified into a object queue. A characteristic extractor then extracts one or more characteristics of the queued objects. A non-fungible token denormalizer then denormalizes the image into one or more denormalized images each having denormalization attributes. A uniqueness purifier then inspects objects of each of the denormalized images for characteristics extracted from objects in the queue, where matching characteristics between the objects of the denormalized images and objects of the image define unique parameters. Non-fungible token register then registers the image as a unique non-fungible token image. A non-fungible token verification method is carried out along with, or independent of, the non-fungible token registration method.

Non-fungible token registration and verification methods

Pre-initialization environments are generated on at least one hardware processor for running incoming applications. Resource usage of resources configured for the pre-initialization environments in running the incoming applications is monitored. Automatic tuning of a pre-initialization environment among the pre-initialization environments is deactivated, responsive to determining based on the resource usage of resources configured for the pre-initialization environment, that the pre-initialization environment is maintaining a threshold level of efficiency. Automatic tuning of the pre-initialization environment among the pre-initialization environments is activated, responsive to determining based on the resource usage of resources configured for the pre-initialization environment, that the pre-initialization environment is overloaded. Automatic tuning of the pre-initialization environment among the pre-initialization environments is activated, responsive to determining, based on the resource usage of resources configured for the pre-initialization environment, that the pre-initialization environment is idle.

A computer implemented method performs a task for a vehicle. A number of processor units detects a presence of the vehicle on a road. The number of processor units divides the task to be performed for the vehicle into subtasks. The number of processor units assigns the subtasks to Internet of Things nodes on possible paths that the vehicle can travel on the road. The number of processor units processes the subtasks using a set of the Internet of Things nodes on a selected path in the possible paths in real time as the vehicle moves on the selected path to form subtask results. The number of processor units combines the subtask results from the processed subtasks to form a task result for the task.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for processing participant input in a virtual meeting to determine effects to render in the virtual meeting. A natural language processor (NLP) processes a sentence to determine a structural representation of the sentence comprising a subject and object, which is processed to determine whether the object of the sentence comprises an object of recognition and the subject of the sentence is a participant in the virtual meeting. The structural representation of the sentence is processed to determine an attention level in response to determining that the structural representation of the sentence includes the object of recognition and the subject comprises a participant in the virtual meeting. In response to the attention level exceeding a threshold, a recognition attention effect is rendered in the virtual meeting associated with the attention level, observable by the participants of the virtual meeting.

A computer-implemented method to automatically adjust a view of a video stream to focus on a relevant item. The method includes monitoring activity in video feed of a video conference. The method further includes identifying, in the video feed, an item that a user is interacting with during the video conference. The method also includes determining a relevance score for to the item, where the relevance score represents a likelihood the item is a focus of the video conference. The method includes determining the relevance score is above a relevance threshold for the item. The method also includes adjusting, in response to the relevance score being above the relevance threshold, a focus the video feed, where the adjusting is configured to focus on the item.

Content based focus adjustment

In an approach to improve the privacy of chat groups within a virtual world, in response to identifying a private chat group has been created between two or more users, embodiments collect, by an internet of things (IoT) sensor set, a voice for each user in the private chat group. Further, embodiments analyze, by an analysis module, the collected voice, an intonation associated with the collected voice and an original pronunciation associated with the collected voice, and generate a de-content pronunciation based on the analysis of the collected voice, the intonation, and the original pronunciation. Additionally, embodiments output, by the IoT sensor set, the intonation and the original pronunciation to the two or more users in the private chat group and output, by the IoT sensor set and a client computer, the intonation and the de-content pronunciation to one or more users outside the private chat group.

A method for transmitting web-conference content over a network connection is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method conducts a web conference over a network connection. The method monitors characteristics of the network connection in order to determine bandwidth of the network connection during the web conference. The method implements, on the network connection, a 'raw' mode wherein audio data of the web conference is transmitted over the network connection in an original format. Upon detecting a low bandwidth condition on the network connection, the method toggles from the “raw” mode to a “saving” mode where audio data of the web conference is converted to text at a first end of the network connection, transmitted over the network connection as text, and converted from text back to audio data at a second end of the network connection. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
