Abstract: A system infrastructure structure formulation supporting method in which based on quality requirements, formulated examples of system infrastructure structures up to the present are grouped into a database for storing the system infrastructure structures, then being stored into a group management area in advance. At the time of a new formulation, demands presented with an expression which user uses are accepted from an input/output terminal. Then, the demands are converted into quality requirements of the system by making reference to a demand-contents management table, a quality-requirement management table, and a demand-quality-requirement correspondence table stored in a reference information storage area. Next, using the quality requirements acquired, a group stored in the group management area is selected. Moreover, elements within the group are selected from a grouping table, then sequentially presenting the formulated examples having high degrees of similarity.

Abstract: A notice board business system database stores therein collectively the contents of all the data heads relating to a series of business processes, and is held in common in the form of a notice board through clients by all the related persons in charge of the tasks. A status change rule sets the data head in which the data input should be completed with respect to each of the task processes. A status watcher refers to both the notice board business system database and the status change rule to make the task process change from the current task process to the next task process when the predetermined data input has been completed in the process in task so as to inform the related client of that the status change has occurred. In addition, the status watcher refers to a status change limit rule for setting the data input completion due date for each of the task processes so as to inform, when the processing due date is drawing near, the related client of that the processing due date is drawing near.

Abstract: The man-months definition table 106 defines man-months for each combination of a function, data, and an infrastructure for both As_Is and To_Be of EA. The content retrieval patterns database 109 sets a development example for each combination of the function, data and the infrastructure. The EA result analysis unit 113 creates a retrieval pattern used for retrieving man-months from EA planning results of the EA planning results database 108, and the man-months calculation unit 114 searches the man-months definition table 106 to calculate development man-months. The example retrieval unit 115 creates a retrieval pattern used for retrieving content and searches the content retrieval patterns database 109 for a suitable development example.
