  • Patent number: 10235656
    Abstract: An effective applied policy configuration associated with a selected policy resource is created responsive to a selection of a policy resource within a service policy visualization interface based upon results of programmatic introspection of the selected policy resource. The effective applied policy configuration includes correlated and combined effects of service policies identified by the programmatic introspection as attached to the selected policy resource within a resource hierarchy associated with the selected policy resource. The effective applied policy configuration associated with the selected policy resource, including the correlated and combined effects of the attached service policies, is displayed within the service policy visualization interface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9535564
    Abstract: A service policy visualization interface is provided that is capable of selection and filtering of policy resources associated with a service managed using service policies. In response to detecting a selection of a policy resource within the service policy visualization interface, the selected policy resource is introspected to identify service policies. The service policies are attached to the selected policy resource within a resource hierarchy associated with the selected policy resource. Based upon results of the introspection of the selected policy resource, an effective applied policy configuration associated with the selected policy resource is created, including correlated and combined effects of the attached service policies. The effective applied policy configuration associated with the selected policy resource, including the correlated and combined effects of the attached service policies, is displayed within the service policy visualization interface.

  • Patent number: 8341004
    Abstract: The present invention can include a solution that dynamically manages electronic calendar events based upon the key performance indicators (KPIs) of a business process monitoring (BPM) system. Such a system can include a BPM system, an electronic calendar software application, and a dynamic calendar event manager. The BPM system can be configured to manage data for many user-defined KPIs. The electronic calendar software application can be configured to manage the calendar data of various calendar events for many users. The dynamic calendar event definition can be configured to define a condition for modifying the calendar data of a user-specified calendar event. The dynamic calendar event definition can consist of a KPI threshold value, a calendar action, and an applicable attendee list. The dynamic calendar event manager can be configured to dynamically and automatically handle the modification of the calendar data in accordance with the dynamic calendar event definition.
