    Abstract: A computer hardware-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product prevents a cascading failure in a complex stream computer system causing an untrustworthy output from the complex stream computer system. Multiple upstream subcomponents in a complex stream computer system generate multiple outputs, which are used as inputs to a downstream subcomponent. An accuracy value is assigned to each of the multiple outputs from the upstream subcomponents, and weighting values are assigned to each of the inputs to the downstream subcomponent. The accuracy values and weighting values are utilized to dynamically adjust inputs to the downstream subcomponent until an output from the downstream subcomponent meets a predefined trustworthiness level.

    Abstract: A method, computer product, and computer system of reducing an amount of data representing a genetic sequence of an organism, comprising: a computer dividing a reference genome and a sequence of the organism into parts and assigning the parts to one of a plurality of computer processing elements. Within each computer processing element, comparing nucleotides of the genetic sequence of the organism to nucleotides from a part of the reference genome, to find differences where nucleotides of the genetic sequence of the organism which are different from the nucleotides of the reference genome; and storing the surprisal data in a repository. Combining the parts of the surprisal data from the repository to form a complete set of surprisal data representing the differences between the genetic sequence of the organism and the reference genome; and storing the complete set of surprisal data in the repository.

    Abstract: Ein prozessorgestütztes Verfahren, System und/oder Computerprogrammprodukt schützt vertrauliche Daten in einer empfangenen Übertragung. Eine Netzwerkschnittstelle empfängt eine Datenübertragung, zu der mehrerer Dateneinheiten gehören. Alle vertraulichen Daten in der empfangenen Datenübertragung werden von dem Empfänger gemäß einer vorbestimmten Regel identifiziert. Die identifizierten vertraulichen Daten aus der Datenübertragung werden danach verschlüsselt.

    Abstract: A method, computer product, and computer system of minimizing surprisal data comprising: at a source, reading and identifying characteristics of a genetic sequence of an organism; receiving an input of rank of at least two identified characteristics of the genetic sequence of the organism; generating a hierarchy of ranked, identified characteristics based on the rank of the at least two identified characteristics of the genetic sequence of the organism; comparing the hierarchy of ranked, identified characteristics to a repository of reference genomes; and if at least one reference genome from the repository matches the hierarchy of ranked, identified characteristics, comparing nucleotides of the genetic sequence of the organism to nucleotides from the at least one matched reference genome, to obtain differences and create surprisal data.
