Patent number: 11301439Abstract: A system and method for information technology (IT) migration includes determining a relationship among objects to be migrated such that the relationship includes a set of objects having at least one of a common feature or dependency between the objects in the set. The objects are grouped into a plurality of migration waves such that cross-wave relationships are minimized among the plurality of migration waves. The objects are migrated wave by wave.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Richard K. Athey, John K.

Patent number: 11150880Abstract: An approach is provided for automating an adoption of cloud services. A machine learning model is devAppliceloped to learn application source code accessed from a source code repository. The machine learning model is trained by building training data that includes the application source code and technical labels. Services are extracted from the application source code and a context of the application source code is derived. Using a decision tree model, a mapping of the extracted services to respective cloud services is determined. Based on the mapping, portions of the application source code are identified that are recommended to be replaced by the respective cloud services.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Venkata Vinay Kumar Parisa, Bruce G. Taylor, Debasis Roy Choudhuri, Laurence Swift, Corey Allen, Biswajit Mohapatra
