Providing inter-virtual agent communication between communication devices owned by different users is provided. A first communication channel and a second communication channel are established with a remote data processing system. A virtual agent-to-virtual agent handshake is performed during establishment of the first communication channel. Virtual agent commands are exchanged with a remote virtual agent located on the remote data processing system via the first communication channel. An action corresponding to a virtual agent command received from the remote virtual agent located on the remote data processing system is performed while a human conversation is conducted via the second communication channel.

In an approach location allocation planning, one or more computing units determine at least one location matching model for a first current participating entity of a plurality of current participating entities of a current event, wherein an output of the location matching model indicates a matching degree between the first current participating entity and a current event location. The one or more computing units create at least one initial location allocation plan for the plurality of current participating entities of the event based, at least in part, on the at least one location matching model. The one or more computing units receive feedback from at least one of the plurality of current participating entities. Responsive to the feedback indicating acceptance of the initial location allocation plan, the one or more computing units determine a final location allocation plan based on the initial location allocation plan.

A masking system and method for automatically masking sensitive user information on a webpage is provided. The method includes the steps of identifying a location of the first user data of the first type of sensitive user information on the webpage, updating an initial path to the first user data to account for changes to the initial path detected in response to repeated visits to the webpage, wherein the updated initial path to the first user data is stored as a stable path, locating a second user data associated with a second type of sensitive user information on the webpage, by accessing a central database containing path information to a location of the second user data on the webpage, and masking the first user data and the second user data on the webpage, using the stable path and the path information obtained from the central database.
