Abstract: A system and associated method for searching a web service registry system by use of a search module. A first embodiment of the search module has a search controller, a name parser, a dictionary, and a name composer. The first embodiment of the search module automatically searches a service registry program product with a service name through a first application programming interface (API). If a service description matching the service name does not exist within the service registry program product, then the first embodiment of the search module generates a candidate service name within the search module. A second embodiment of the search module consists of the search controller, the name parser, and the name composer. The second embodiment utilizes a separate dictionary program product through a second API in generating the candidate service name for a second search of the service registry program product.

Abstract: A system for discovering business processes from noisy activities logs from various activities performed during the execution of the process. Activities are observed from the noisy activity logs that may include text from manually entered activity logs, chat scripts, emails, voice transcripts, desktop captures, and tool logs, wherein the noisy activity logs are received from multiple person/tool actors with each of the actors performing one or more activities related to one/more business tasks. Extracting information from the noisy activity logs to capture activity based information, and then analyzing similar activities and finding possible paths in the similar activities. The results are used to build a process graph based on the similar activities and the possible paths in the similar activities.

Abstract: A file management method includes creating a rotation group by grouping a file group in which the generations of the files are managed by changes in the file names, and storing information of the rotation group in a rotation group management unit; acquiring file identification information of the files belonging to the rotation group from the file group according to the information of the rotation group, and storing the file identification information in a file identification information management unit; and acquiring file identification information of the rotation group from the file identification information management unit, further acquiring file identification information of the files belonging to the rotation group from the file group according to the information of the rotation group, and comparing the acquired pieces of file identification information.

Abstract: In a structure where a table is partitioned into multiple databases according to a certain partitioning method, a coordinator server changes allocation information that is used to determine a database into which each of data records should be registered when an allocation change command is issued. The coordinator server stores therein allocation history information, which is the allocation information used before the change. When an entry request to make an entry of a new data record from a client, a database to enter the new data record is determined based on the stored allocation history information and the changed allocation information, and an entry request is sent to a database server having the determined database.

Abstract: Methods and products for storing data for synchronizing one or more files between two or more nodes. One embodiment of the method includes commencing to create a metadata object associated with a file to be synchronized: determining a file location on the or each node; adding the file location of the or each node to the metadata object such that the metadata object includes details relating to the file and the location thereof in one or more of the two or more nodes; and making the metadata object available to predetermined users via a central server.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for inserting a PDF shared resource back into a PDF statement is provided. The method includes storing a set of statements, wherein each statement has been extracted from a document and each statement contains indirect objects. A set of resources is then stored, wherein the resources have been extracted from the document, and the resources include a set of indirect objects. All of the indirect objects in a selected one of the stored statements are then enumerated and a determination is made of which of the indirect objects contain keys. A key value for the enumerated indirect objects containing keys is then read, and the indirect objects in the stored set of resources associated with each key are identified. Stream data is then copied from the indirect objects in the stored set of resources into the selected ones of the stored statements.

Abstract: Resources are provisioned in an automated manner for shared services in a resource-on-demand system. A model representing an observed state of resources in the resource-on-demand system allocated to the shared services and a model representing a desired state of the shared services are stored. At least one policy applicable to provisioning the resources for the shared services is determined. The policy and information from the models are applied to automatically provision the resources for satisfying the desired state of the shared services.
