  • Time-based element management in a computer system using temporal node trees
    Patent number: 11487586
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for managing time-based elements. A computer system identifies the time-based elements, wherein the time-based elements have time units. The computer system arranges the nodes, representing the time-based elements, in a temporal node tree, wherein the nodes have the time units from corresponding time-based elements and a policy that defines scaling of the nodes based on the time units allocated to the nodes.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for using a component business model to organize an enterprise
    Patent number: 8326665
    Abstract: A system and method is described for using a component business model to partition a business into non-overlapping components, and then allocating different components to appropriate organizing strategies, based on attribute values assigned to each component. In the best mode of implementation there are two attributes: whether or not the component differentiates the business within the market place; and whether the component is industry standard or is tailored by the organization. These attributes and their values map the components of the business to a matrix. Based on the combination of attribute values in each cell of the matrix, available organizing strategies are also mapped to the matrix, thereby identifying for each component an appropriate organizing strategy.
