摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for creating a monitoring template for a business process. A monitoring template for a business process monitoring system is generated by providing a predefined schema definition for the monitoring template, wherein the predefined schema definition comprises a predefined format for describing the business process monitoring system using one or more predefined keywords, wherein the predefined schema definition comprises at least one monitoring model element that allows a user to specify one or more monitoring elements required to generate the business process monitoring system; and receiving a specification of the one or more monitoring elements from the user. The monitoring template can be used, for example, to generate deployable code for an operational runtime version of the business process monitoring system. The monitoring template allows monitoring models and business process monitoring systems to be reused.

A method and apparatus for provisioning customized information technology (IT) service workflows based on selection and concatenation. The method and apparatus matches tasks required to fulfill service requests to existing models and creates alternative service models to perform similar requests. The method and apparatus enables the development of customized run-time workflow and service task artifacts in response to information technology (IT) service requests based on selection and concatenation such that known and alternative workflows are quickly and reliably provisioned. The customized workflows are also compliant with process optimization methods such as Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen and others.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for specifying a monitoring intent of a business process or a monitoring template. A monitoring intent of a business process monitoring system is defined by providing a predefined schema definition for the monitoring intent, wherein the predefined schema definition comprises a predefined format for describing the monitoring intent using one or more predefined keywords, wherein the predefined schema definition comprises a description of the monitoring intent and one or more contextual keywords; and receiving a specification of the description and the one or more contextual keywords from the user. The monitoring intent generally specifies one or more monitoring requirements of the business process monitoring system. The monitoring intent of a business process or a monitoring template may be matched with one or more search keywords. The predefined schema definition for the description comprises a set of expression rules.
摘要:
A method and system for measuring the learning ability and productivity of knowledge workers related to the delivery of services in service industry sectors, such as information technology (IT), healthcare and accounting. The method and system applies broadly to service domains that have a strong correlation between the learning ability and skill level of workers wherein the correlation affects the quality of service delivery. Utilizing data mining techniques, the method and system captures, analyzes and benchmarks individual knowledge worker's skill(s) in order to normalize individual service agent proficiencies. The normalized service agent proficiencies allows the relative learning and skill indices of the individual service agents to be determined such that the skills and learning abilities of individual service agents to be determined. The method and system allows best practices and training thresholds to be determined.

Techniques for generating and executing a performance-aware enterprise component (PAEC) are provided. The techniques include creating a performance-aware enterprise component definition, wherein an enterprise component is a component with defined behavior and data models that represent an enterprise capability and provide a service to a client through a defined interface, and wherein the definition comprises an extensible markup language file comprising process component lifecycle information, one or more data items to be used in the component lifecycle, and one or more performance metrics, and executing the performance-aware enterprise component, wherein executing the performance-aware enterprise component comprises reading the performance-aware enterprise component definition and one or more relationships with the one or more data items, and operating the component lifecycle, wherein operating the component lifecycle comprises using the one or more performance metrics within the component lifecycle to enable one or more localized changes to be made within the enterprise component.
摘要:
Techniques for dispatching one or more services requests to one or more agents are provided. The techniques include obtaining one or more attributes of each service request, obtaining one or more attributes of each agent, obtaining feedback from each of one or more agent queues, and using the one or more attributes of each service request, the one or more attributes of each agent and the feedback from each of the one or more agent queues to determine one or more suitable agents to receive a dispatch for each of the one or more service requests. Techniques are also provided for generating a database of one or more attributes of one or more service requests and one or more attributes of one or more agents.
摘要:
Techniques for providing one or more user-centric wellness decision support services are provided. The techniques include providing an interface that facilitates selection of a risk assessment model of interest for a user and an action plan to trigger one or more follow-up action items, applying the selected model to assess the user's wellness risk level based on one or more user wellness records, and applying the selected action plan to trigger one or more relevant disease management and lifestyle interventions.

摘要:
A method and system for representing one or more families of existing processes in a composite abstraction such that process improvement techniques can be implemented in a more scalable manner. The invention enables abstracting a set of pre-defined process models into a composite model that represents sufficient operational details while being compliant with process improvement techniques such as, but not limited to, Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, and others (collectively “lean” techniques). The invention provides the ability to flexibly represent the operational and lean-related information in varied abstraction levels at different stages of the process as and when necessary. The invention provides the ability to dynamically generate and represent process models based on user-selected defining characteristics (or attributes) used for process “family” formation. This allows users to define process models based on a set of customized attributes deemed critical by that particular user, including the ability to prioritize the selected attributes.
