摘要： System, apparatus and methods for allocation of storage resources, performance monitoring, and reallocation of resources to eliminate hot spots, by specifying high-level goals, rather than by means of low-level manual steps. Policies are specified as administrator specified constraints under which the resources are managed. Goals are specified in terms of performance, availability, and security requirements of the desired storage. As a part of the automation, this invention provides for analyzing capabilities of the computer storage system and forming analysis results, which are later used for determining an allocation of resources that will meet the high-level goals specified. This invention also provides automatic monitoring of performance, availability, and security goals for allocated resources. If goals are not met, resources are reallocated so that the goals can be met with the allocation. The invention reduces human involvement, allows policy control, minimizes error, and provides efficient service delivery specified by policies.

摘要： A method is disclosed for automatically exercising a target application process having a Graphical User Interface (GUI), as is a system for implementing a method and a computer program, stored on a computer readable medium, that embodies the method. The method includes the computer executed steps of starting the target application process; detecting a presence of a first window opened by the target application process; processing the first window by determining a content of the first window, including a list of user controls; exercising the user controls until all of the user controls have been exercised, with user controls likely to cause termination being identified and exercised after user controls that are less likely to cause termination; and closing the first window. The step of exercising includes steps of estimating a best order of execution of user controls and text to be input to user input fields. If exercising a particular user control causes the first window to close before all of the user controls have been exercised for the first window, the method further includes steps of reopening the first window; and exercising user controls other than the particular user control unless the particular user control is required to close the first window when all of the window's user controls have been exercised. If exercising a particular user control causes the second window to open, the method includes steps of determining a content of the second window, including a list of user controls; exercising the user controls until all of the user controls of the second window have been exercised; closing the second window; and continuing the processing of the first window.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and data processing system for recognizing, tracing, diagnosing, and repairing problems in an autonomic computing system is disclosed. Rules and courses of actions to follow in logging data, in diagnosing faults (or threats of faults), and in treating faults (or threats of faults) are formulated using an adaptive inference and action system. The adaptive inference and action system includes techniques for conflict resolution that generate, prioritize, modify, and remove rules based on environment-specific information, accumulated time-sensitive data, actions taken, and the effectiveness of those actions. Thus, the present invention enables a dynamic, autonomic computing system to formulate its own strategy for self-administration, even in the face of changes in the configuration of the system.

摘要： A method and system for the automatic determination of the behavioral profile of a program suspected of having worm-like characteristics includes analyzing data processing system resources required by the program and, if the required resources are not indicative of the program having worm-like characteristics, running the program in a controlled non-network environment while monitoring and logging accesses to system resources to determine the behavior of the program in the non-network environment. A logged record of the observed behavior is analyzed to determine if the behavior is indicative of the program having worm-like characteristics. The non-network environment may simulate the appearance of a network to the program, without emulating the operation of the network.
