A method for guiding an emergency vehicle to an emergency site includes receiving an emergency dispatch message including a location of an emergency. Present location information is received for an emergency vehicle. A route between the received present location and the received location of the emergency is calculated using area map data. Navigation guidance is provided to the emergency vehicle based on the calculated route. The calculated route and the present location information for the emergency vehicle are transmitted to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV is automatically piloted ahead of the emergency vehicle, along the calculated route, using the calculated route and present location transmitted thereto. A traffic alert is transmitted from the UAV to influence traffic flow ahead of the emergency vehicle.

A computing problem management method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include detecting an impending problem of the computing system, spawning a plurality of replicas when detecting the impending problem, introducing a plurality of new impending problems on the plurality of replicas for the launching to launch versions of an action to resolve, and learning a version that resolves each of the plurality of new impending problems.

System, method and recording medium for antifragile computing problem management

A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product improves operation of a computer. One or more processors receive a question from a user of a computer, which requests a solution to improve operations of the computer. Based on an interpretation derived from the context of the request, the processor(s) retrieve multiple child solution instances to the question, where the multiple child solution instances are derived from a parent solution instance. The processor(s) direct the computer to simultaneously display the multiple child solution instances on the computer, and then receive a selected child solution instance from the user. In response to receiving the selected child solution instance, the processor(s): discard other solution instances from the multiple child solution instances; designate the selected child solution instance as a primary solution instance; and store the primary solution instance. The processor(s) then direct execution of the primary solution instance.

A method, computer program product, and/or computer system controls icon movement behavior on a graphical user interface. A file hosting icon and a data file icon are displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI). The file hosting icon represents a file hosting service, and the data file icon, which is capable of being moved towards the file hosting icon on the GUI to initiate storage by the file hosting service, represents data. The behavior of movement of the data file icon is adjusted according to a position of the data file icon relative to a position of the file hosting icon on the GUI, and based on predefined features of the data relative to predefined features of the file hosting service.

To provide a client with access to an API available from a provider, a request is received from a marketplace to subscribe to the API, responsive to the client selecting the API from a catalog of the marketplace. A subscriber identifier, which is uniquely associated with the request by the client to subscribe to the selected API, is generated. An authorization record is created within a proxy; it indicates that a request by the client to invoke the API received by the proxy should be forwarded to the provider from which the API is available if the request to invoke the API includes the subscriber identifier. The generated subscriber identifier and an address of the proxy are provided to the marketplace. Thus, the client is configured to invoke the API by sending a request including the subscriber identifier to the address of the proxy.

A computing problem management method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include detecting an impending problem of a computing system, spawning a plurality of replicas when the detecting detects the impending problem, and launching a plurality of versions of an action, each version being launched and performed on a different replica of the plurality of replicas.

Recommending a recipe and monitoring the preparation of the recipe according to a calendar by a computer that receives calendar data that includes one or more of: a date, scheduled appointment times for the date and appointment durations, any special events on the date, and proximity of the date to a holiday. The computer identifies one or more recipes that can be prepared in an available time slot in the calendar, the one or more recipes includes a list of food from a food ingredient list and monitors data, including length of time to complete a preparation step of the selected recipe. Responsive to the length of time increasing by more than a threshold value, the computer adjusts one or more subsequent preparation steps of the selected recipe to compensate for the increase to the length of time and/or the calendar to provide a longer available time for recipe preparation.

A method, system, and/or computer program product controls operations of a mobile audio input device. One or more processors detect a first location of a mobile audio input device. The processor(s) detect a second location of the user. The processor(s) then direct the mobile audio input device to autonomously move from the first location to the second location and, in response to the mobile audio input device reaching the second location, to activate the microphone on the mobile audio input device.

A mechanism for declarative service domain federation uses a declarative approach to both the visibility aspect and the management aspect of service domain federation. Instead of manually exporting services, that is, selecting individual services from source domains to be visible in the target domain, using the present system, a federation architect uses a federation console to specify federation intent. The federation intent may include federation rule, query-based service group, and quality-of-service (QoS) policy. Based on the declared federation intent, a planning engine resolves the individual services based on the group query, generates the service visibility configuration, and creates the necessary service proxies and/or mediation objects to satisfy the goal. At runtime, a service monitor collects the performance metrics of federated services and dynamically adjusts the mediation/proxy configurations to maintain the QoS objectives specified by the federation architect.
