  • scanning, by a computer, software components installed on the given computer, resulting in a list of discovered software components of the given computer;

    for at least one computer group of the set of computer groups;

    obtaining, by the computer, a first list of software components most frequently installed on computers of the at least one computer group, wherein the first list is unique for all computer groups of the set of computer groups; and

    comparing, by the computer, the first list with the list of discovered software components and, based on the comparison, computing a first likelihood that the given computer belongs to the at least one computer group; and

    in case only one of the first likelihoods exceeds a first threshold, assigning, by the computer, the given computer to the at least one computer group for which the first likelihood exceeds the first threshold.
