| 20090133042 | EFFICIENT LINKING AND LOADING FOR LATE BINDING AND PLATFORM RETARGETING - The present invention is directed to a loadable virtual memory manager, and generally to a computer operating system capable of supporting application programs running in a computer having a working memory, the computer operating system including a kernel resident in the working memory at run time, and a loadable virtual memory manager resident at link time outside of the working memory and dynamically loadable into the working memory at run time upon demand of one of the application programs. The kernel includes a loader for loading the virtual memory manager into the working memory in response to a demand from one of the application programs. The computer is able to access a storage memory separate from the working memory, the loadable virtual memory manager residing at link time in the storage memory. The loader loads the virtual memory manager from the storage memory to the working memory. The loadable virtual memory manager is removable from the working memory upon lack of demand therefor by the application programs. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20080243580 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SERVICES PARTNER LABOR RATE OPTIMIZATION - Effective and efficient multi-vendor labor rate negotiations are supported by using a minimization algorithm to provide an optimized total cost of staffing allocation. Critical impact factors are also provided to identify specific labor categories or other vendor attributes that have the greatest impact on the total staffing allocation cost. By varying the elements identified by the critical impact factors and using the computer-implemented optimization algorithm, real-time changes are available to the vendors to assist in the negotiations of services contract agreements. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080288587 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCORING AND RANKING A PLURALITY OF RELATIONSHIPS IN COMPONENTS OF SOCIO-TECHNICAL SYSTEM - A method and system for scoring and ranking a plurality of component links in a social technical system having a plurality of components representing people and objects are provided. In one aspect, a degree of consistency relative to two or more people working on one or more objects and dependencies between the objects is determined to derive scores for the component links. The method and system identifies gaps in the link and determines the impact of filling the gaps. In another aspect, component links may be ranked and scores aggregated to provide system level quantifications. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080288632 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR UNDERSTANDING SOCIAL ORGANIZATION IN A DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS - A method and system constructs a socio-technical network representing design and development processes. In one aspect, a network of inter-personal interactions comprising at least a plurality of nodes representing actors in design and development process is established; an artifacts network comprising at least a plurality of nodes representing a plurality of heterogeneous artifact types is established; one or more relationships between the nodes in the network of inter-personal interactions are determined; one or more relationships between the nodes of the artifacts network are determined; and one or more relationships between the nodes in the network of inter-personal interactions and the nodes of the artifacts network are determined. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080313101 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CAPACITY- AND VALUE-BASED PRICING MODEL FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES - A method and structure for pricing a good or service to a customer includes a calculator that executes a pricing model that includes a dimension of a utility of the good or service to the customer. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20100131316 | CARBON MANAGEMENT FOR SOURCING AND LOGISTICS - Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for carbon management for sourcing and logistics. In one embodiment, the method comprises using a computer for quantifying both a cost and a carbon impact of one or more logistics policies relating to a manufacturing process; and minimizing the cost and carbon impact using a defined equation including a first component representing a transportation cost, and a second component representing a carbon cost. In an embodiment of the invention, the quantifying includes using an analytics engine to quantify the cost and carbon impact. The analytics engine may include a shipment analysis module to calculate an optimal transportation policy, a sourcing analysis module for testing alternate sourcing options, a scenario analysis module to find an optimal order frequency, and a sensitivity analysis module to test the impact of various changes. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20110178948 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BUSINESS PROCESS ORIENTED RISK IDENTIFICATION AND QUALIFICATION - A method and system for identifying and quantifying a risk is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises forming a two-dimensional risk matrix, wherein a first dimension of the matrix comprises risk variable categories and a second dimension comprises standard business processes, placing a risk variable onto the two-dimensional risk matrix, wherein the risk variable is categorized by one of the risk variable categories and one of the standard business processes, connecting the variable node with another risk variable in the two-dimensional risk matrix, and applying a learning method to the two-dimensional risk matrix to compose a risk model to use for quantifying the risk. The system comprises a processor operable to perform the steps embodied by the method. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20080208671 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MATCHING PEOPLE AND JOBS USING SOCIAL NETWORK METRICS - A computer-implement method and the associated system of computing resources provides an automated work force management capability that optimizes work assignments for individual workers using work force management techniques in combination with social networking analysis (SNA). The work force management attributes are enhanced using SNA. Bipartite graphing processes are used to match the socially enhance worker attributes with the work requirements. By combining the social networking information with the work force management attributes, work assignments are optimized. This optimization exploits historical social interactions between workers and combines their influence with the skills and other work force attributes of each worker required for job performance. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090292578 | Articulation Workload Metrics - A method for determining an allocation of a workload includes identifying an employee in an organization having the workload, associating the employee with an articulation workload metric, and determining the allocation of the workload to the employee according to the articulation workload metric. | 11-26-2009 |
