In an approach, a processor indexes system documents of a computer system using a text search engine, resulting in a search index, where the computer system is described by a set of system parameters with values stored in the system documents. A processor provides a set of scheduling rules for allocating computing resources of the computer system, each scheduling rule comprising a search query referencing one or more of the system parameters. A processor executes search queries by the text search engine against the search index, resulting in scored system documents and associated search queries. A processor ranks at least part of the set of scheduling rules using scores of the associated search queries. A processor selects scheduling rules in accordance with the ranking. A processor executes the selected scheduling rules for scheduling a workload on the computer system.

In an approach to improve service routing, embodiments route a service request to an execution environment. Embodiments provide a plurality of execution environments, wherein in each execution environment executable services are deployable, provide a service registry maintaining a plurality of execution environments, and receive, by the service registry, a service routing request. Further, embodiments determine a required trust level for a service relating to the service routing request by using a trained machine-learning system for outputting a trust level class when receiving service context data of the service relating to the service routing request as input, determine, using the service registry, a set of execution environments matching the output trust level class, and select, by the service registry, one execution environment of the determined set of execution environments. Further, embodiments route, by the service registry, the service request to the selected one of the execution environments for execution.

Provided are techniques for mode-specific search query processing. A current search query is received from a user, where the user has a user profile, and where the user profile has a public portion and a private portion. A query mode and a query context for the current search query are determined. In response to determining that the query mode is a guided mode, the current search query is rewritten based on the query context, the private portion of the user profile of the user, and the public portion of each corresponding user profile of each of one or more search influencers to generate a first rewritten search query; the first rewritten search query is executed to generate first search results; and the first search results are returned. In response to determining that the query mode is one of a public mode and a private mode, the current search query is rewritten based on the query context and the private portion of the user profile of the user to generate a second rewritten search query; the second rewritten search query is executed to generate second search results; and the second search results are returned.

An application (App)-BOT, scans a context of a user of an application and obtains current scanned user data. The App BOT determines a set of user information entities from the scanned user data containing current information about the user. In a negotiation phase, the App BOT a data access request offer from a mixed reality data (MRD)-BOT. A privacy leak score is estimated that represents a user value attributed to the permission to access the labelled user information entity based on the data access request offer. Responsive to determining that the privacy leak score exceeds a privacy leak score threshold, an acceptance of the data access request offer is sent to the MRD BOT and providing access requested by the data access request. Otherwise, a counteroffer is sent to the offer to the MRD BOT.
