20100235844	DISCOVERING AND IDENTIFYING MANAGEABLE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES - Allocating resource discovery and identification processes among a plurality of management tools and resources in a distributed and heterogeneous information technology (IT) management system by providing at least one authoritative manageable resource having minimal or no responsibility for reporting its identity, minimal or no responsibility for advertising any lifecycle-related creation event for the resource, and minimal or no responsibility for advertising any lifecycle-related destruction event for the resource. A services oriented architecture (SOA) defines one or more services needed to manage the resource within the management system. A component model defines one or more interfaces and one or more interactions to be implemented by the manageable resource within the management system.	09-16-2010

20080250146	METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLICATION OR PROTOCOL VERSION NEGOTIATION - A method for version negotiation between two entities is provided. Described in the context of communication protocol negotiation, an initiating entity proposes an initial communication protocol version to a receiving entity. In response, the receiving entity accepts the protocol version if it is within the range of its supported versions or proposes an alternative protocol version selecting to be either the highest or lowest protocol version supported by the receiving entity. This allows the receiving entity to successfully limit the number of protocol versions it supports and to communicate this restriction in any protocol setting to the initiating entity. The initiating entity then accepts the proposed alternative protocol version. If version negotiation is successful, either the accepted initial version or the accepted alternative version of the communication protocol is used for the duration of the communication session between the initiating entity and the receiving entity.	10-09-2008

20080320120	APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR VISUALIZATION OF WEB SERVICES DISTRIBUTED MANAGEMENT (WSDM) RESOURCES - An apparatus and method provides visualization of IT resources that are exposed as WSDM resources. A management system with a console provides visibility and functionality for WSDM resources by employing a visualization mechanism that processes standardized visualization metadata that is sent from a WSDM resource. The visualization mechanism uses standardized information to enable the management system console to display a robust presentation of the resource without needing to update the management system and console code when new types of resources are added.	12-25-2008
