摘要:
System and method for determining piecewise pricing, in one aspect, generate a distribution function of transactions based on a plurality of data records associated with said transactions. One or more correlations between total cost and one or more performance measures are analyzed. Demand model is generated based on the distribution function. Piecewise pricing or level-price pairs are determined for a plurality of levels of performance measure, based on said one or more correlations between total cost and one or more performance measures, said demand model, and desired profit margin.

摘要:
Standardized support for management of contextual relationships, which includes specification of the context hierarchy, association of relationships with a particular context, and derivation of transitive dependencies, is provided with a Context Manager service. The Context Manager provides a programmatic interface for defining contexts and the relationships therein. The Context Manager saves the relationship facts in one or more context stores, which are organized by contexts. The Context Manager interfaces with the Ontology Manager that processes queries on relationships with respect to a given set of contexts. The Context Manager provides a high-level abstraction for relationship management in a context. Developers of business solutions can then focus on the core business logic, without worrying about the details of storing and inferencing relationships.
摘要:
A system and method is provided for the ontological representation of the meta-models of businesses and their processes, activities, and components in one or more semantic web markup languages to enable reasoning and analyzing of instances of enterprise business models to infer relationships of business entities which are previously unknown or not clear from the original business model instance.

A system, method and computer program product for monitoring availability of end user devices needed for performing tasks. The system comprises a first network including one or more devices associated with an end user, at least one device adapted for communicating with a service provider over a second network, the service provider providing network-based services in the system. The system includes a memory storage device for maintaining information of tasks associated with an end user, the information including recommended end-user devices adapted to perform the tasks, the information being accessible to at least one end-user device. At least one end-user device detects non-availability or performance deficiencies of any end-user device required in performing end-user tasks, and communicates with the service provider for invoking network-based services to facilitate correcting non-availability of any end-user device. Such a system, method and computer program product enables students to receive these reminders and alerts, to order the necessary upgrades from suppliers via web services, and to monitor delivery from a single user interface provided on one of their devices.
摘要:
A value model that can be used to value an enterprise function is provided. The value model includes one or more levels of enterprise function nodes that are related to each other and/or a bottom level of driver metric nodes, such as driver metric nodes in a value driver graph. The modification to one or more enterprise function nodes can be received and a value impact of the modification can be determined based on the modification and the relationships in the value model. In this manner, the value model provides an effective manner for determining a value impact on a particular value measurement that a specific enterprise function, such as an information technology solution/service, provides/is expected to provide.
摘要:
A system, method and computer program product that combines techniques in the fields of search, data mining, collaborative filtering, user ratings and referral mappings into a system for intelligent web-based help for task or transaction oriented web based systems. The system makes use of a service oriented architecture based on metadata and web services to locate, categorize and provide relevant context sensitive help, including found help not available when the web based system or application was first developed. As part of the inventive system, there is additionally provided a system for providing an integrated information taxonomy which combines automatically, semi-automatically, and manually generated taxonomies and applies them to help systems. This aspect of the invention is applicable to the fields of online self-help systems for web sites and software applications as well as to customer, supplier and employee help desks.
