| 20080270543 | E-MAIL SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS SENDER TO ATTACH RECIPIENT SPECIFIC METADATA - A method detects a request from a user to append metadata to an e-mail message being addressed to a number of recipients. In response to the request, the method prompts the user to supply recipient specific information. The method generates the recipient specific metadata from the recipient specific information. The recipient specific information is different for different recipients and includes information regarding the action that is expected from the recipient, the relevance level of the e-mail, the description of the e-mail, and/or associated comments. Similarly, the recipient specific metadata is different for different recipients and the recipient specific metadata comprises fields for expected action, relevance level, description, and/or comments. The method adds the recipient specific metadata to the e-mail message and sends the e-mail message. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20080281650 | METHOD FOR COMPUTING THE RESILIENCY SCORE OF AN ORGANIZATION OR ANY PART THEREOF - A method computes a resiliency score of an entity by representing the entity as a set of components. The method determines interactions and relationships and can, in one embodiment, determine two types of relationships between the components to produce resiliency scores for the components. These two types of relationships comprise a dependency relationship (whether a first component depends on one or more additional components to function) and a substitution relationship (whether two or more components share some functionality, and whether the first component can be at least partially substituted for one or more additional components). The method computes and outputs an overall score representing a resiliency of the entity based on the scores of the components of the entity and relationships between the components. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20090106068 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESILIENCY PLANNING - A method and a system for efficiently planning resiliency in a work environment based on resiliency parameters for a given definition of service, determining a best allocation plan with resources allocated, and allocating a resource request in a best allocation plan to the requesting source to perform the definition of service. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090271383 | METHOD FOR DERIVING CONTEXT FOR DATA DISCLOSURE ENFORCEMENT - Techniques for deriving a context for enforcing a data disclosure policy while accessing a database are provided. The techniques include receiving a request for database access with met a information, parsing the meta information to identify a context, receiving a user query, formulating a query equivalent to-the user query, wherein the equivalent query implements the identified context to enforce a data disclosure policy, and accessing the database with the equivalent query. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090276256 | METHOD FOR COMPUTING AN ENTERPRISE PROCESS COMPLIANCE INDEX - Techniques for computing an enterprise process compliance index are provided. The techniques include obtaining an enterprise process, obtaining a compliance policy, segmenting the enterprise process into at least one process step and the compliance policy in at least one policy clause, and computing an enterprise process compliance index, wherein computing the enterprise process compliance index comprises determining an applicability of the at least one process step to the at least one policy clause. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100122238 | GENERATING FUNCTIONAL ARTIFACTS FROM LOW LEVEL DESIGN DIAGRAMS - At least one design diagram is obtained from at least one previous software project. At least one service abstraction is extracted from the at least one design diagram. The at least one service abstraction is reused in a new software project. In another aspect, requirements are obtained for a current software project; at least one class diagram is obtained from at least one previous software project; a dependency graph is generated from the at least one design diagram, using link analysis; relationships between classes in the dependency graph are analyzed to obtain functional artifacts for the requirements; and the functional artifacts are reused in the new software project. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100180014 | PROVIDING NETWORK IDENTITY FOR VIRTUAL MACHINES - Techniques for assigning an internet protocol (IP) address to a virtual machine are provided. The techniques include tunneling a request for an IP address to an initialization protocol server, using the server to mask an identity of one or more guest virtual machines and obtain an IP address for the virtual machine based on a media access control (MAC) address of the virtual machine, and tunneling the IP address to the virtual machine. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20110082716 | System for Discovering Business Processes from Noisy Activities Logs - A system for discovering business processes from noisy activities logs from various activities performed during the execution of the process. Activities are observed from the noisy activity logs that may include text from manually entered activity logs, chat scripts, emails, voice transcripts, desktop captures, and tool logs, wherein the noisy activity logs are received from multiple person/tool actors with each of the actors performing one or more activities related to one/more business tasks. Extracting information from the noisy activity logs to capture activity based information, and then analyzing similar activities and finding possible paths in the similar activities. The results are used to build a process graph based on the similar activities and the possible paths in the similar activities. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110106515 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESOURCE IDENTIFICATION - Systems and methods for resource identification. Preferably, this can be undertaken via modeling in which primary constraints include requirements and availability and building a resource map that includes alternatives which can help in the realization of the function. | 05-05-2011 |
