| 20080228742 | METHOD AND APPARATUS OF AUTOMATIC METHOD SIGNATURE ADAPTATION FOR DYNAMIC WEB SERVICE INVOCATION - A method (and apparatus) for adapting an input parameter, for dynamically invoke the target Web services, and for adapting output results, the method including: receiving an invocation request including an input parameter in a first format; retrieving MetaWSDL (Meta Web Service Description Language) wherein said MetaWSDL includes a universal XML (eXtended Markup Language) representation which includes semantic information of a Web service method signature; invoking a MetaWSDL processor to adapt the input parameter to a second format using the retrieved MetaWSDL; dynamically invoking the target Web services using the adapted parameter in the second format; and adapting the output result in a first format to a second format using the MetaWSDL. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080288792 | METHOD AND APPARATUS OF ADAPTIVE INTEGRATION ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT FOR BUSINESS APPLICATION INTEGRATION - An adaptive integration activity management framework for on demand business process integration provides a mechanism to enable easy integration of legacy and new applications. The framework minimizes the effort need to integrate a new application into an existing business process environment such that the new activity is a “plug-in” into an action manager by implementing a standard adaptation layer. Activity integration is implemented in the principle of “on-demand” because it is invoked as required, so the communication and collaboration between partners become much more flexible. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090006146 | System and Method for Modeling Slow Changing Dimension and Auto Management Using Model Driven Business Performance Management - A system for generating a model for tracking a changing dimension feature of data in a business model includes a memory for storing the business model and a computer readable code for modeling the changes in the changing dimension feature and a processor for executing the computer readable code to perform method steps including capturing the changing dimension feature of the business model, transforming the changing dimension feature into a data warehouse model corresponding the business model, identifying changing dimensions and attributes in the changing dimension feature according to the data warehouse model, and generating a run-time deployable component for tracking the changing dimension feature based on the identified changing dimensions and attributes. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090024426 | Method and Apparatus for Dynamic Evolution in Business Performance Management - A policy-driven approach to Business Performance Management (BPM) evolution is to capture the mechanism of BPM solution evolutions. These policies are executed by the runtime infrastructure which transforms and interprets evolution policies and allows fine granularity controls on solution evolution. At transformation time, the relationship among the event processing progress and the runtime state is derived based on the observation model. Such relationship information allows verification of freshness of migrating data and parallelization of runtime state validation and event processing. Consistent and efficient evolution of BPM solutions transit while event processing is operational. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090234758 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING PROFIT LEAKAGE - A method, information processing system, and computer readable storage medium manage and predict profit leakage. A dynamic deduction space is created that includes a plurality of dimensions associated with historical deduction data and profit leakage information associated with a combination of two or more of the dimensions. Information associated with an open deduction is received. A dimension set in the deduction space is identified that corresponds to the open deduction. A profit leakage classification is assigned to the open deduction based on profit leakage information associated with the dimension set. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20100002864 | Method and System for Discerning Learning Characteristics of Individual Knowledge Worker and Associated Team In Service Delivery - A method and system for measuring the learning ability and productivity of knowledge workers related to the delivery of services in service industry sectors, such as information technology (IT), healthcare and accounting. The method and system applies broadly to service domains that have a strong correlation between the learning ability and skill level of workers wherein the correlation affects the quality of service delivery. Utilizing data mining techniques, the method and system captures, analyzes and benchmarks individual knowledge worker's skill(s) in order to normalize individual service agent proficiencies. The normalized service agent proficiencies allows the relative learning and skill indices of the individual service agents to be determined such that the skills and learning abilities of individual service agents to be determined. The method and system allows best practices and training thresholds to be determined. | 01-07-2010 |
