摘要:
The present invention provides a method and system making it possible to reduce a description of the impact of a disaster on the world at large to measurable, firm-specific operational and financial implications. This makes it possible to bridge the divide between disaster prediction and business planning by facilitating the translation of physical and other effects of a disaster on a business into a dollars-and-cents impact. The present invention also allows a user to evaluate the costs and benefits of various disaster mitigation plans and/or policies and to understand the combined effects of multiple mitigation plans.
摘要:
A method and system for managing state data of a service in a service-oriented architecture by establishing a gateway for service-oriented state comprising: configuring an extensible, pluggable interface to support for extensible processor interfaces; data query support on service state data, automated notification capability on service state to a client; and automated data transform on service state data to a client format; defining an interface framework for interaction between a service and the gateway. The method also includes establishing an extensible meta-data definition comprising an extensible set of service state data attributes including state data qualifiers, constraints, and access mechanisms; and utilizing one or more pluggable processors configured to utilize the extensible meta-data definition for interfaces and decision making based on the meta-data.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for generating service state data and extensible meta-data information with a service oriented state data generator (SSDG) comprising: establishing a platform independent, extensible meta-data model for the meta-data information; obtaining state data schema based on a service state data description; defining an extensible set of meta-data attributes and templates corresponding to the meta data based on requirements of a service; and utilizing the meta-data model and based on the state data schema and the attributes, generating service state data based on the service state data schema; and The service state data including at least one of: state data, state data logical mapping, state data physical mapping, meta-data associated with the service state data and meta-data model correlations associated with the meta-data.
摘要:
A static heat transfer model is derived from a system of dynamic equations by integrating the dynamic equations over different time periods. That static heat transfer model links periodic (e.g., monthly) energy usage with cooling and heating degree hours, humidifying and dehumidifying hours. Its coefficients of measuring correlations correspond to the thermal parameters of buildings. Temporal data from a building may be used to estimate the overall heat transfer parameters. A clustering scheme may be developed to decompose all the buildings into different clusters based on one or more similarity criteria. The overall heat transfer parameters are separated into values for the wall, roof and window using multiple buildings' data in the same cluster or group.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method and system estimating the likelihood of employees not being available for work as a result of pandemic occurrence and effectiveness of related mitigation actions. The invention allows users to assess the impact of pandemic on availability of corporate workforce and to estimate the effectiveness of various corporate mitigation actions in terms of how such actions may reduce the adverse effects of a pandemic on employee availability by incorporating information on infection rate, perception, needs for family care and infrastructure availability into a system of algebraic and differential equations.

A method and system for workforce planning in one aspect provide an optimization model that produce, based on the availability profile and the demand profile of skill types, a workforce plan recommending a combination of actions. The combination of actions may include hiring, contracting and cross-training. The optimization model considers constraints such as minimum residence time that a resource unit needs to spend in a skill-type that it gets cross-trained into or hired into, minimum acceptable contracting duration for a contracted skill type, first order and higher orders of cross-training for a skill type, with lead-time for training, one or more system rules associated with transfer sequences, or targets on service levels and resource utilization, or combinations thereof in determining the workforce plan.
摘要:
A managed policy driven virtual data space for managing artifacts relationships and sharing artifacts among services. A policy model is used to represent business artifacts, sharing of the artifacts, and subscription of other artifacts that is of interest to current artifact and, to represent the various state of the artifact. An active shared space provides support functionality for the policy model, such as artifact lifecycle management. The active shared space also provides the support of sharing of such artifact with external/internal services and other artifacts. The active shared space also controls the artifacts storage in the relational database for archiving purposes. Active shared space also provides the mechanism of subscribing to various artifacts and publishing the availability of artifact for services and other artifacts itself. Active shared space also makes the artifact aware of the context within which the said artifact operates and allows subscribing to appropriate artifacts to support the context needs. Active shared space also provides the mechanism to trace through the various states of an artifact and facility to query the artifact data content.
