摘要:
A third-party service relationship may be established between a service consumer, a service provider, and a third-party service using a service relationship management server. The service consumer and service provider can have a primary service relationship. The primary service relationship may be managed using the service relationship management server. Service relationship information related to the primary service relationship can be received in a database in communication with the service relationship management server. The primary service relationship can be modified using the third-party service and based on the service relationship information.
摘要:
A template-based technique for making a best practices framework actionable includes creating a formal representation of a best practices framework, where the representation includes a machine-readable template. A portion of the template is interpreted to link the portion of the template with logic that corresponds to an action. Execution of the logic is triggered to perform the action in response to occurrence of a trigger condition.
摘要:
Candidate service providers for a desired service are ranked. Terms describing service requirements for a desired service are determined. Service capability documents describing the services of the candidate service providers are determined using the terms describing the service requirements. Using singular value decomposition (SVD) and a metric, similarities between the terms describing the service requirements and the service capability documents are determined. The candidate service providers are ranked based on the similarities.
摘要:
Information from control plug-ins organized in a hierarchy is received. The control plug-ins control an allocation of resources for an application. Relationships between the control plug-ins are determined based on the received information, and a topology of the control plug-ins is generated.

Method and apparatus for representing capacities and demands in a layered computing environment using normalized values for identifying optimal allocations of computing resources. A plurality of server models are established, with each server model including one or more server nodes and each server node having an associated set of capacity attributes. Similarly, a plurality of service models are established, each service model including one or more service nodes and each service node having an associated set of demand attributes. The server models are defined with a layered relationship as are the service models. A node that is part of a model in one layer corresponds to a model in the next-lower layer. The invention normalizes the demand and capacity attributes of the server nodes and service nodes in the different model layer in order to generate optimized mappings of service nodes to server nodes.
摘要:
A resource manager computer system allocates computer resources from a pool of computer resources for executing an application. A data monitoring system monitors metrics for the allocated computer resources, and a resource assessment computer system executes a control plug-in specifying a policy for determining whether to adjust the allocated computer resources based on the metrics.
摘要:
A customized process template is generated for an organization by customizing an abstract process template of a process for the organization. A discovered process model is generated based on enactment traces of the process. A suggestion for refining the process is generated based at least in part on the discovered process model.

摘要:
A collaborative work environment is provided that supports collaboration among users for performance of a people service that is associated with ad-hoc activities. An information base is provided that includes information relating to responsibilities of the users and work items for the ad-hoc activities. An interactive guidance structure is presented in the collaborative environment to guide actions of the users with respect to the work items. Materials produced as a result of the actions to update the information base are collected.
摘要:
Dynamic adaptation of a business activity involves creation and updating of the business activity in an ad-hoc and collaborative manner as the business activity executes. User input relating to creation of a business activity is received through a user portal, where the business activity involves interactions among people. A business activity orchestrator orchestrates execution of work in the business activity. The business activity is updated using a business activity adapter, where updating the business activity occurs during execution of the business activity, and the updating is further responsive to collaborative input of the people involved in the business activity.
