Patent number: 10684931Abstract: An approach for providing guidance and management of a data processing system. A processor stores at least one design pattern corresponding to a plurality of components of the data processing system. A processor generates a behavioral model of the data processing system based, at least in part, on the stored at least one design pattern. A processor monitors actual behavior of the data processing system. A processor compares the actual behavior of the data processing system to the behavioral model of the data processing system. A processor recommends a solution, based, at least in part, on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2015Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Amanda E. Chessell, Harald C. Smith, Dougal A. Watt

Patent number: 9558215Abstract: A method and system for governing information is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processor, data defining a scope and context of an information governance project and information requirements data associated with the data. The processor classifies the information requirements data into concepts in accordance with a meta-model profile. The processor generates conceptual models and realization models in accordance with the meta-model profile. Governance roles are defined and assigned to informational assets within the conceptual models The processor selects a final architecture option and generates policy models in accordance with the governance roles, the informational assets, the meta-model profile and user input. A final architecture option is deployed and monitored, and governance events triggered and reports generated in response to changes in this deployed architecture option.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2016Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Dougal A.
