1. A computer-implemented method for assigning a given computer to a computer group of a set of computer groups, the method comprising:

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

    for each computer group;

    obtaining, by the computer, a first list of software components most frequently installed on computers of the computer group; 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 computer group; and

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