  • Publication number: 20070055972
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product is provided for deploying software in a data processing system. A topology pattern is selected in which the selected topology pattern describes an arrangement of software and hardware devices. Augments to the selected topology pattern are received to form an augmented topology pattern after a selection of a selected topology pattern from a plurality of topology patterns. The augmented topology pattern is transformed into a set of deployable scripts, wherein the set of deployable scripts is used for the software deployment.

  • Publication number: 20060089828
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product is provided for creating and implementing a pattern solution by specifying one or more patterns and creating a pattern solution recipe which documents guidance related to use, organization and interconnection the patterns. The pattern solution recipe permits substitution of one or more specified pattern with a substitute pattern. The pattern solution is transformed (creating a pattern solution implementation) by implementing each pattern as a parameterizable computer accessible object. These parameters provide a point of customization. The pattern solution recipe is implemented as another computer accessible object providing further refined guidance on the use of the implemented pattern solutions. Pattern solutions knit many patterns together using the pattern solution recipe.
