The memory is operable to store input data, output data, and a process model, each associated with a digital process management system. The processor is operable to determine the process model based upon user input, wherein the process model comprises a set of rules, determine the input data based upon data received from a data source, and determine whether to initiate the process model based upon the input data. The system is further operable to execute the process model by determining a state of a process, determining an activity based upon the state and the set of rules, executing the activity, determining results data, and determining the output data based upon the results data. The system is further operable to communicate the output data to the memory. | 2016-11-17 |
20160337199 | PERFORMANCE AND SECURITY MANAGEMENT OF APPLICATIONS DEPLOYED IN HOSTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS - Systems and methods for performance and security management of the computing infrastructure that supports an application deployed in a hosted computing environment are described. In one embodiment, for example, a system comprises agents installed on hosts. The agents capture and record system events from operating systems on the hosts that result from application component processes executing on the hosts. The system further includes a collection and analysis engine that obtains captured and recorded system events from the agents, identifies captured and recorded system events that pertain to an application transaction, and produces, from the identified system events, metric data reflecting quantity of computing resources used by the application component processes to process the application transaction. The system also includes a web dashboard that presents the metric data to a user, for example, on a web page. | 2016-11-17 |
20160337200 | Method and Apparatus for Visualized Network Operation and Maintenance - This application discloses a method for visualized network operation and maintenance, including receiving a request for visualized network operation and maintenance, generating a workflow for visualized network operation and maintenance according to the request for visualized network operation and maintenance, and creating a network modeling input, and performing, according to the workflow for visualized network operation and maintenance, the network modeling input, and original information of network modeling, analog simulation on a network determined by the network modeling input. | 2016-11-17 |
20160337201 | SERVER VIRTUALIZATION - A resource requirements method and system is provided. The method includes identifying dependencies and calculating a utilization value for a source server. The source server is mapped to an application and a source infrastructure is compared to a target infrastructure. Deficiencies and differences associated with the target infrastructure are determined and dependency requirements for fulfillment in the target infrastructure are generated. The utilization value is compared to a resource capability of the target server and resource requirements for fulfillment on the target server are generated. | 2016-11-17 |
20160337202 | ADAPTIVE SERVICE CHAIN MANAGEMENT - Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems for fulfilling a service chain request. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to collect network data of a plurality of instances of services and connections between the plurality of instances of services and redefine service chains to direct flow to an alternative instance of a service responsive to determining that an instance of a service in a service chain has become inaccessible. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to fulfill a service chain request and avoid one or more instances of services (and/or connections there between) that could cause a delay between transmitting data packets through the service chain. | 2016-11-17 |
20160337203 | SYSTEM AND APPROACH FOR REMOTE ROOM CONTROLLER AND DEVICE DIAGNOSTICS AND HEALTH MONITORING - The disclosure reveals a system and approach for remote health monitoring and diagnostics of room controllers, networks and devices. A master room controller may be used to open a system health page or a diagnostic page for other controllers. A system health page may provide an overview of virtually all of the other room controllers. A tool of the present system may be used to trouble shoot issues remotely at another room controller in lieu of doing a visit to the respective room controller. A user may navigate from the system health page to virtually any place on the room controller to diagnose issues. The navigation may be done by hyper linking from the system health page. The healthy controllers may be hidden from the page so that the unhealthy systems can be viewed in one shot. | 2016-11-17 |
20160337204 | DIAGNOSTIC NETWORK VISUALIZATION - Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for network visualization. A system analyzes traffic associated with network elements and generates a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI can include graphical segments representing the network elements and contiguously arranged in a first graphical structure. Each of the graphical segments can represent a category of network elements and indicate a number of network elements in the category. The GUI can also include a second set of graphical segments representing the network traffic and contiguously arranged in a second graphical structure. Each of the second set of graphical segments can represent a type of traffic associated with respective network elements and indicate an amount of traffic associated with the type of traffic. Moreover, the GUI can include visual indication(s) representing respective amounts of traffic for each specific type of traffic and/or an amount of bandwidth between the collector engine and a remote destination. | 2016-11-17 |
20160337205 | MONITORING DEVICE AND MEMORY MEDIUM FOR MONITORING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TERMINAL DEVICES IN A GROUP - A plurality of groups each including a plurality of terminal devices are formed, and each of a plurality of base station devices assigns a channel to each group to enable communication from one of the terminal devices included in the group to which the channel is assigned to another terminal device included in the group, and a receiving unit receives information on the number of terminal devices included in the groups registered in each base station device. A display unit displays information indicating the number of terminal devices for each base station device based on the received information. | 2016-11-17 |
