Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable servicing a location request for a user device by providing anonymized location data. Specifically, a location request for a user device is received from an application server associated with a location-based/location-tracking application. Based on an application setting option associated with the location-based/location-tracking application, a geographic cell is defined. A set of available participating devices within the geographic cell is identified. A participating device is selected from the set of available participating devices. The location request is routed to the selected participating device, wherein the selected participating device forwards a location of the selected participating device to the application server.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach to repair vulnerabilities (e.g., security vulnerabilities) in images (e.g., application images) in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). Specifically, an image is checked for vulnerabilities using a database of known images and/or vulnerabilities. If a vulnerability is found, a flexible/elastic firewall is established around the image so as to isolate the vulnerability. Once the firewall has been put in place, the vulnerability can be repaired by a variety of means such as upgrading the image, quarantining the image, discarding the image, and/or generating a new image. Once the image has been repaired, the firewall can be removed.

Abstract: Utilizing a crowd source viewing behavior by context to recommend a viewing order to a user. A set of users accessing content for viewing is monitored to capture an ordered history of viewing for each user. The ordered history of viewing is analyzed to determine a context for each user and stores the context and ordered history of viewing in a repository. The ordered history of viewing from the users being monitored is then aggregated based on the determined context. A context for a new user is identified and the new user is provided with aggregated content in a viewing order defined by the identified context based on aggregated order history of monitored users.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed to provide a degrees of separation network builder. In the approach, an action is taken by a first mobile device user that communicates with a second mobile device of second user. The two devices are proximate to each other. Affinity data pertaining to the first user is accessible from the first mobile device, and affinity data of the second user is received at the first device. An affinity score is computed based on comparing the first user's affinity data with the second user's affinity data. The affinity score reflects an estimated affinity of the first user and second user. This affinity score is displayed on the first device for viewing to the first user.

Abstract: A computer receives an application and system configuration detailing program applications, operating systems, and when and/or on which system an application may hibernate and/or operate. The computer determines a baseline power consumption of each of the applications on each of the applicable systems and operates the applications on the most energy efficient system. The computer monitors and displays the energy consumption of each application and determines whether the applications capable of hibernation have been idle for a period of time. If so, the computer hibernates the application until the application is awoken. If the application is incapable of hibernation nor idle, the computer compares the consumption to the determined baseline consumption of an alternative system and, if the consumption is greater than the baseline consumption of an alternative system and the application is capable of operation on the alternative system, moves operation of the application to the more efficient system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for providing a severity of a notification for a communication. A computing device determines a topic and associated information of a current activity, operating on the computing device. The computing device receives a communication and determines the topic and associated information of the communication. The computing device determines a level of relevance between the topic and associated information of the received communication and the topic and associated information of the current activity. The computing device determines whether the level of relevance exceeds a predefined threshold, and in response to determining that the level of relevance exceeds the predefined threshold, the computing device provides a notification, wherein the severity of the notification for the communication is proportional to the level of relevance.

Abstract: An aspect includes receiving a request to assign a task to a user based on biometric data. Correlated data that correlates characteristics of tasks previously performed by the user with observed productivity and stress levels of the user while performing the tasks is accessed. An optimization model is applied to select a task that maximizes a predicted productivity of the user in performing the task while at the same time minimizes a predicted negative stress level of the user while performing the task. Input to the optimization model includes the correlated data and characteristics of a plurality of potential tasks. The selected task is assigned to the user. The correlated data for the user is updated based on the observed productivity of the user in performing the selected task, the observed stress level of the user while performing the selected tax, and at least one characteristic of the selected task.
