Publication number: 20230185620Abstract: A management server calculates a required amount of computational resource required to execute the application based on a processing speed of each application and a computational resource model. When a usage rate of the computational resource within an execution time limit of the workflow exceeds an upper limit, the management server calculates, using the computational resource model, a first executable time during which the application is executable on an available capacity of the computational resource. The management server sets a target execution time of the application in executing the workflow as a first executable time, and adjusts to add an extension time of the target execution time according to the first executable time to a target execution time of another application that does not exceed the computational resource upper limit so as to postpone an end time-of-day of the application and advance a start time-of-day of the other application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Hideki NAGASAKI, Yasuyuki KAMBARA, Kiminori SUGAUCHI, Akira NIKAIDO

Patent number: 9021078Abstract: The management system identifies a first event regarding a first node apparatus estimated to occur when a first maintenance work is performed on a first node apparatus based on maintenance work information that indicates a correspondence relationship between each maintenance work of one or more maintenance works for any of the plurality of node apparatuses and an event regarding a node apparatus to be the target of each maintenance work, which is estimated to occur when the maintenance work is performed. The management system identifies the range of effect and phenomenon of the case where the first maintenance work is performed on the first node apparatus, by performing simulation based on one or more rules indicating a correspondence relationship between one or more conditional events and a causal event and displays the identified range of effect and phenomenon.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Akira Nikaido, Hideo Takahashi, Takeshi Arisaka, Takumi Tomita
