A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for distributing luggage among a plurality of outlet ports of a luggage distribution unit is provided. The method includes associating, using a processor system, a passenger key and a luggage identification (ID) device of a luggage unit, and assigning, using the processor system, the luggage ID device to a dispensing unit based at least in part on a determination of a desired distribution of luggage units among the plurality of outlet ports. The method also includes detecting a location of the passenger key, providing a status of the luggage ID device of the luggage unit, and signaling the presence of the luggage ID device and the luggage unit at the dispensing unit. The method includes receiving the association to access the at least one luggage unit, and releasing the luggage unit responsive to receiving the association.

Luggage retrieval and distribution

In an approach to multi-user authentication, one or more computer processors receive a first user login. The one or more computer processors determine whether at least one additional user login is received. The one or more computer processors receive an access request from the first user. The one or more computer processors receive an access request from the at least one additional user. In response to receiving the access request from the first user and the access request from the at least one additional user, the one or more computer processors determine whether the access request from the first user and the access request from the at least one additional user meet pre-defined criteria. In response to determining the access requests meet pre-defined criteria, the one or more computer processors authorize the access request of the first user and the access request of the at least one additional user.

Multi-user authentication

A method for learning a process behavior model based on a process past instances and on one or more process attributes, and a method for detecting an anomalous process using the corresponding process behavior model.

Detecting anomalous process behavior

A system for allocating incoming events among operational groups to create a multi-treaded computation process includes: incoming events; an event processing system configured to receive the incoming events; an event key generator within the event processing system, the event key generator being configured to generate event keys at run time, the event keys being associated with the incoming events; and a thread dispatcher, the thread dispatcher allocating the incoming events among the operational groups according to the associated incoming event keys.

Determining the processing order of a plurality of events

A method for operating a multi-threading computational system includes: identifying related events; allocating the related events to a first thread; allocating unrelated events to one or more second threads; wherein the events allocated to the first thread are executed in sequence and the events allocated to the one or more second threads are executed in parallel to execution of the first thread.
