Abstract
Assigning a given computer to a computer group of a set of computer groups. Software components installed on the given computer are scanned, resulting in a list of discovered software components of the given computer. In addition, for each computer group of the set of computer groups, a list of software components most frequently installed on the computers of the computer group is obtained. For each computer group, the list is compared with the list of discovered software components and, based on the comparison, a likelihood that the given computer belongs to the computer group is computed. In case only one of the likelihoods exceeds a threshold, the given computer is assigned to the respective computer group for which the likelihood exceeds the threshold.
