According to one embodiment, a method comprises providing a machine-readable meta-model that defines the structure of how information is represented in at least one data model. The method further comprises using, by a data accessor, the meta-model for interpreting the at least one data model. According to another embodiment, a method comprises providing a machine-readable metric meta-model that defines a syntax for defining metric models, and defining a metric model in the syntax defined by the metric meta-model. The method further comprises associating the metric model with a monitoring source in a monitoring environment, wherein the metric model defines monitoring data available at the monitoring source, and interpreting, by a monitoring tool, the metric model based on the metric meta-model.

摘要:
A modelling system to provide a computer based business process for an enterprise, allows the enterprise to input values for a plurality of non functional requirements (760) for the deployment, and allows at least some of the values to be varied independently of others of the values, and creates a design of software application components (770) and a design of computing infrastructure (780), for running the software application components, so that the business process operates according to the values input for the non functional requirements of the business process. By modelling the underlying computing infrastructure, it becomes feasible to create models with greater certainty that they will deploy successfully, and with greater predictability of how well they will meet given non functional requirements. This enables more freedom to be allowed to vary the values of these non functional requirements and get greater customisation to suit the needs of the enterprise.
摘要:
Modelling a computer based business process having a number of functional steps, involves providing software candidate models (740) of the business process, each specifying the functional steps (750), an arrangement of software application components (770) for carrying out the functional steps, and a design of computing infrastructure (780), for running the software application components, to meet given non functional requirements, and suitable for automated deployment. For each of the candidate models, operation of the business process is simulated (730) according to the respective candidate model and their simulated operation is evaluated against the non-functional requirements. The simulation can help the search for a suitable or optimum deployment to be more efficient and can lead to more efficient usage of shared resources.
摘要:
A method of setting up a development environment for development work on a computer based business process, involves providing a software model (827) of the business process, and providing in the model a representation (870) of tools for developing part of the process, incorporated with the corresponding part of the modelled business process. The selected parts of the model incorporating the tools are deployed, and the given tools installed, to set up the development environment. By modelling the development tools incorporated in the business process, setting up the development environment can be made easier. Choice and arrangement of tools needs less manual input, so risks of errors, and time spent in setting up can be reduced.
