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.

Programmable device processors are configured by aspects of the present invention to automatically generate item offers in response to behavior attributes determined for a person receiving the offer. Said configured processor determines current personality traits for the person from analysis of activity data, identifies geographically proximate transactional channels available for presentment of an offer to the person, and generates an item offer to include attribute values that match a determined personality trait and satisfy a need indicated by demographic data applicable to the person. The configured processor select one of the available transactional channels for presentment of the item offer to the person, in response to determining an indication in the transactional behavior of a higher likelihood of acceptance by the person of the presented offer when presented via the selected transactional channel, relative to presentment via another, unselected one of the currently available transactional channels.

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.

A message based contextual dialog may be conducted by establishing, using a processor, a collaborative session between a first client device and a second client device, receiving, using the processor, a message from the first client device, and detecting, using the processor, a request for a service within the message. Responsive to the request, a service correlated with the request may be invoked using the processor. A result from execution of the service may be provided, using the processor, to the first client device and the second client device as part of the collaborative session.

Message-based contextual dialog

Contextualizing vehicle data and predicting real-time driver actions. By unsiloing collected data relating to a driver, the actions of the driver can be predicted and the reasons for variations from the predicted actions can be determined based on the contextualized data.

Dynamic data discovery can identify variables or changes in a business environment which can impact existing business rules and can match identified triggers. A business rule associated with a business rule management system can be identified. The business rule management system can be a component of an enterprise organization. The rule can be an operation, a definition, and a constraint associated with the organization. The organization can be a person, a process, a product, a service, or a computing device. Relevant information can be determined from a dynamic data associated with a data source. The determination can be made through the use of semantic analysis. A business pattern associated with the rule can be semantically matched with a dynamic pattern associated with the information. The pattern can be a semantic pattern of the information. A new business rule can be automatically generated from the dynamic data analysis.

Utilizing a dynamic data source to affect business rule management

Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for real-time analytics driven decisioning of edge devices in a WSN.

A multi-level business process interface associated with an incomplete Web service can be identified. The interface can be created within a user interface (UI) modeling tooling. The Web service can be associated with a business process. An interface specific metadata associated with the process interface can be determined. Service definitions for one or more existing Web service matching a portion of the interface specific metadata can be searched for semantically based on search depth parameters set by a user. A search result responsive to the searching can be returned. The search result can identify one or more existing Web services from a service registry.
