20100107135 | System and Method for Transforming a Component Business Model - Seamless transition from a Component Business Model (CBM) to a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) is achieved by converting a tabular representation of a CBM Heat Map to a Unified Modeling Language (UML) representation, and automatically converting the UML representation of a CBM Heat Map to a first iteration of input used during the subsequent SOA solution development using Service Oriented Modeling and Architecture (SOMA). | 04-29-2010 |
20110137622 | ASSESSING THE MATURITY OF AN INDUSTRY ARCHITECTURE MODEL - A system creates and maintains an industry business architecture model over a network. The system defines specific levels of maturity for the model. Associations, relationships, and linkages between content elements are also determined. From these, a specific level of aggregate maturity is defined according to an algorithm. | 06-09-2011 |
20110137714 | SYSTEM FOR MANAGING BUSINESS PERFORMANCE USING INDUSTRY BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE MODELS - A system and dashboard are provided for managing business performance. Key performance indicators developed for a component business model map are computed and displayed along with the map in real time. A user may select a corresponding key performance indicator to display a heat map of components on the dashboard. | 06-09-2011 |
20110137819 | TOOL FOR CREATING AN INDUSTRY BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE MODEL - A system creates and maintains an industry business architecture model (IBAM) over a network. The IBAM has a component business model, process model, service model, and information model. It also may include a reference architecture, demos and other knowledge assets, and collateral. | 06-09-2011 |
20110196719 | SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING BUSINESS PERFORMANCE - A system gathers real-time data about an enterprise over a network. A user device displays a dashboard showing a component business model map, a heat map, key performance indicators for components, key performance indicators for the enterprise, and gradients. The business is enhanced by making investments and changes to those operations having large gradients. | 08-11-2011 |
20110208552 | LEVERAGING BUSINESS SERVICES FOR SOA SOLUTION DEVELOPMENT - The present invention comprises a method for treating business services identified in CBM as service categories, a top-down concept prior to identification of actual services—of SOA. It provides new algorithms to group the services identified from process maps by business services and services categories. It reconciles a granularity gap between business capabilities that are offered as business services at business architecture level and SOA services at the IT level. The present invention provides a tooling enhancement to map business process elements (process, sub-process, task) and business activities to suitable business services, new algorithms to group services identified from process maps by business services, an efficient way of leveraging Business Services for SOA solution development and an elimination of manual effort, time, and inconsistent approaches to group the services identified from process maps. | 08-25-2011 |
20120072366 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE VENDOR (ISV) SOLUTION EVALUATION - A computer assisted method, system and related program product for evaluating and selecting an independent software vendor solution from a plurality of independent software vendor solutions is predicated upon a structured information capture framework and a scoring model based upon the structured information capture framework. The scoring model uses a multilevel weighted scoring algorithm that uses inputted parameter level data to calculate a plurality of subject level scores. The plurality of subject level scores is secondarily weighted to provide a plurality of dimension level scores. The plurality of dimension level scores is further primarily weighted to provide a final score for each of the plurality of independent software vendor solutions. | 03-22-2012 |
20120124104 | PUBLISHING AN INDUSTRY BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE MODEL - A data-driven mechanism of business rules is used to form associations between business sectors, industries, solutions, solution offerings, and industry business architecture models. The system and method includes use of a navigation hierarchy, and entity diagram to facilitate use by business consultants for access, viewing, navigation, publishing, and updating. | 05-17-2012 |
20120192144 | MIGRATING UNIFIED MODELING LANGUAGE MODELS ACROSS UNIFIED MODELING LANGUAGE PROFILES - A method and system for migrating a UML model across UML profiles. After retrieving a UML model, a source UML element, a source UML profile, a source stereotype, and a source meta-class, the target UML profile, stereotype and meta-class are looked up in a mapping table based on the source UML profile, stereotype, and meta-class. The target UML profile is applied on the UML model. Based on the source meta-class being different from the target meta-class, relationships of the source UML element are retrieved, a target UML element is created, the relationships are copied to the target UML element, and the source UML element is removed from the UML model. The target stereotype is applied to the target UML element. The source stereotype is removed from the target UML element. The source UML profile is removed from the UML model. | 07-26-2012 |

Definitions of atomic tasks of a request or response operation included in a service are received. Unique identifiers corresponding to the atomic tasks are assigned. A sequence map required to implement the service is received. The sequence map is populated with a sequence of the assigned unique identifiers corresponding to a sequence of the atomic tasks of the operation. At runtime, an interface of the service is automatically and dynamically generated to define the service by reading the sequence of unique identifiers in the populated sequence map and assembling the sequence of the atomic tasks based on the read sequence of unique identifiers. | 01-17-2013 |
20130238781 | SNMP-BASED MANAGEMENT OF SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE ENVIRONMENTS - A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-based apparatus including an SNMP manager to monitor network hardware devices and define object identifiers (OIDs); a Simple SOA Performance Monitor (SSPM) manager to augment the OIDs with service-specific object identifiers to monitor services; and an SSPM agent associated with at least one service to collect details pertaining to the service, the details of the service being provided to the SSPM manager which in turn provides the details of the service to the SNMP manager. The SNMP-based apparatus may be implemented by at least one computing device. Also disclosed is a method of monitoring services and a computer program product. | 09-12-2013 |
