An approach includes a system implemented in a computer infrastructure including a processor. The approach further includes the processor configured to receive dimensionally aware linkages. The approach further includes the processor configured to retrieve aggregated data from a data set. The approach further includes the processor configured to identify at least one affinity cluster related to the dimensionally aware linkages in at least two dimensions and the retrieved aggregated data by performing at least one lookup linkage which matches at least one dimension of the at least two dimensions of the dimensionally aware linkages with the retrieved aggregated data. The approach further includes the processor configured to provide personalized content to a user having same or similar user preferences as the received dimensionally aware linkages based on the identified at least one affinity cluster.

Personalized content and services based on profile information

Prepending a name object or setting a type of a software object to a name and prepending a value object to the software object provides inheritance of a name value pattern by the software object to establish particular types or classes of attributes of the software object without modification of the software object itself that is thus strongly typed and accessible by type.

Method and apparatus for enabling agile development of services in cloud computing and traditional environments

A method and associated systems for a multidimensional information repository for managing dynamic time-sensitive and space-sensitive user profiles. A profile-management system receives an incoming event that identifies a user profile and is associated with a location, a time period, and a subject. The system searches the repository for records that identify the profile, location, time period, and subject and creates any such records that do not already exist. The system then creates time-sensitive and space-sensitive linkages that link the user profile record to the location, time-period, and subject records. The system dynamically updates these linkages in response to changes to the user profile and uses the linkages to assign context to queries submitted to a main database. In another embodiment, the system recommends additional linkages based on patterns identified in the newly created linkages.

Representation of time-sensitive and space-sensitive profile information

A parallel track/sector switching device and associated method is provided. The method includes identifying data replication sources and locating data replication targets associated with the data replication sources. Data replication instances associated with moving data from the data replication sources to the data replication targets are determined. A first data replication instance for moving first data from a first data replication source to a first data replication target is determined and an antenna capacity associated with the first data replication source and the first data replication target is identified. A memory to track ID map associated with a storage device of the first data replication target is identified and it is determined if a last replication slot has been allotted to the first data replication target based on the memory to track ID map.

Data transfer between multiple databases

In developing custom programming, particularly for clients or tenants of a cloud computing environment, following pointers from a candidate, existing object of interest vertically to obtain inherited attributes and horizontally to obtain encapsulated properties and presenting such attributes and properties to a software developer for editing and inclusion in custom object-oriented programming facilitates and expedites accommodation of requirements of model based design for potential or existing tenants or clients of a cloud computing environment.
