摘要:
A mechanism provides a model-driven solution template-based approach for managed business services. Key assets of the business services are templatized and made configurable. The mechanism implements a metamodel describing standard service offerings that can be configured to meet specific business and operational requirements at a level of business process and system components. A cost and pricing model of service offerings helps assess the service costs and resource requirements based on a client's selection of standard and customized processes and system components. A supporting system solution is developed based upon underlying solution templates and solution artifacts as well as client-specific requirements.

摘要:
A computer implemented method for improving project risk management based on (a) a quantitative analysis of risks affecting activities, i.e., the root factors leading to cost and time overruns on an activity by activity basis, and (b) an optimization of the resources allocation to each activity in the project plan, is employed to maximize the probability of completing projects on time and within-budget. The method can be employed prior to proceeding with one or more projects, but is also advantageous in that it is adaptive in the sense that more information can be learned during the course of a project about the risk factors present in the project, and this information is used to enable dynamically re-allocating resources to ensure a better outcome given an updated risk profile. Preferably, a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) is used to capture how risk factors identified by project managers influence individual activity durations.

Method and system for estimating performance of resource-based service delivery operation by simulating interactions of multiple events are provided. Method and system, in one aspect, simulate a plurality of events associated with a resource-based service delivery operation and allow the plurality of events to interact through a resource availability outlook. The plurality of events may include events of execution of service engagement and at least one or more of demand planning of service engagement, supply planning of resources, attrition of resources, termination of resource, or combinations of thereof.

A decision-support system for problem solving comprises software modules embodied on a computer readable medium, and the software modules comprise an input/output module and a question-answering module. The method receives problem case information using the input/output module, generates a query based on the problem case information, and generates a plurality of answers for the query using the question-answering module. The method also calculates numerical values for multiple evidence dimensions from evidence sources for each of the answers using the question-answering module and calculates a corresponding confidence value for each of the answers based on the numerical value of each evidence dimension using the question-answering module. Further, the method outputs the answers, the corresponding confidence values, and the numerical values of each evidence dimension for one or more selected answers using the input/output module.

Analyzing one or more physical infrastructure elements of a data center by generating a plurality of outputs from a stochastic process for a set of inputs to the stochastic process. The inputs comprise one or more inputs of certainty and one or more inputs of uncertainty. A statistical output analysis of the outputs is utilized to generate one or more threshold reaching projections for each of the physical infrastructure elements of the data center.
摘要:
A business process modeling framework is used for data quality analysis. The modeling framework represents the sources of transactions entering the information processing system, the various tasks within the process that manipulate or transform these transactions, and the data repositories in which the transactions are stored or aggregated. A subset of these tasks is associated as the potential error introduction sources, and the rate and magnitude of various error classes at each such task are probabilistically modeled. This model can be used to predict how changes in transactions volumes and business processes impact data quality at the aggregate level in the data repositories. The model can also account for the presence of error correcting controls and assess how the placement and effectiveness of these controls alter the propagation and aggregation of errors. Optimization techniques are used for the placement of error correcting controls that meet target quality requirements while minimizing the cost of operating these controls. This analysis also contributes to the development of business “dashboards” that allow decision-makers to monitor and react to key performance indicators (KPIs) based on aggregation of the transactions being processed. Data quality estimation in real time provides the accuracy of these KPIs (in terms of the probability that a KPI is above or below a given value), which may condition the action undertaken by the decision-maker.
摘要:
System and methods provide decision support by receiving suggested actions from a decision support system and automatically determining parameters of the suggested actions to serve as input to a question-answering system. System and methods also automatically generate questions based on the parameters, automatically search a corpus of unstructured data to retrieve answers to the questions, and automatically provide impact confidence values for each answer indicating the degree of impact the answers have on the suggested actions. The systems and methods can then output the questions, answers, and impact confidence values.
摘要:
A first linear combination of a local moving aggregated quantity derived from a WIP distribution and a global aggregated quantity derived from the WIP distribution is calculated for each range for a given product type in a manufacturing line. The first linear combination serves as a first throughput target for the range and product. A second linear combination of a standard deviation of the non-zero portion of the WIP distribution and the global aggregated quantity is calculated for the product type in the manufacturing line. The coefficients of this second linear combination are predetermined. This second linear combination serves as a second throughput target. A throughput target for each range is determined by determining the minimum of the first throughput target, which can be different for each range, and the second throughput target, which is common across all ranges.
