摘要:
The present invention provides a method, system and computer program product for implementing an automated inventory replenishment process between a manufacturer and a business partner. In one embodiment of the invention, a method is provided comprising the business partner purchasing and maintaining an inventory of goods from the manufacturer, and the manufacturer providing price protection to the business partner for the purchasing of the goods. This embodiment further comprises managing said inventory by using an automated process that takes into account said price protection for the purchasing of the goods.

The adaptive product conditioning is a computer-implemented method for identifying product configurations that can be provided to customers in reaction to supply imbalances. The methodology uses data mining techniques to collect and analyze business level meta data to coordinate supply and sales goals in terms of optimizing profits or managing product and technology transitions.
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 control methodology and component in Business Performance Management (BPM) Systems. This enables firms to exploit control theoretic techniques for Business Performance Management. Information from BPM systems is used to calibrate models of the business process. This model is then used to assess and optimize control actions to manage business performance, on the basis of which a control action is selected for business process execution.

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.

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.
摘要:
Estimating monthly heating oil consumption of a building that uses heating oil and non-oil source of energy, may include separating by applying statistical models, yearly consumption of oil data associated with the building into base load oil consumption and space heating oil consumption. The separating may also include determining monthly base load oil consumption associated with the building. Monthly space heating consumption of oil may be estimated by applying a heating degree day density function to the space heating oil consumption. The monthly space heating consumption may be aggregated with the monthly base load oil consumption to estimate the monthly heating oil consumption.
