Patent number: 11049048Abstract: A method for managing reusable BPM assets can be provided. The method can include selecting a process in a process model in a process modeling tool, retrieving a list of BPM assets in a repository of reusable BPM assets dependent upon the selected process and selecting individual ones of the BPM assets for importation into the process modeling tool in association with the selected process. Finally, the method can include importing into the process modeling tool the selected individual ones of the BPM assets from the repository of reusable BPM assets over a computer communications network.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2008Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Murray J. Beaton, Christina P. Lau, Scott P. Peddle

Patent number: 8769493Abstract: Lifecycles of virtual image assets are managed as follows. A set of assets including a set virtual image assets and a set of software bundle assets are analyzed. At least a portion of relationship data between one or more of the virtual image assets and one or more of the software bundle assets is determined. The at least a portion of relationship data is stored in a memory. At least one of one or more virtual image assets and one or more software bundle assets are determined to be associated with a set of changes. At least one virtual image asset that is related to the one or more virtual image assets and/or one or more software bundle assets associated with the set of changes is identified. The at least one virtual image asset that has been identified is updated based on the set of changes.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William C. Arnold, Murray J. Beaton, Daniel C. Berg, Tamar Eilam, Michael H. Kalantar, Alexander V. Konstantinou, Gili Mendel, Tova Roth, Harm Sluiman, Edward C. Snible

Patent number: 8291371Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to pattern design and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for self-service creation and deployment of a pattern. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for creating a self-service reusable pattern can be provided. The method can include implementing an arrangement of re-usable assets into a set of self-service application components, extending at least one of self-service application components, and packaging the components for deployment in a target environment. The method further can include determining a target deployment environment and modeling the target environment to receive the deployment of the components. Thereafter, the packaged components can be deployed to a portal server or to a portal test environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2006Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Murray J.
