  • Patent number: 8271407
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for the rule-based monitoring of a component (C1) added to a service-oriented architecture (SOA), the SOA comprising a plurality of components (C2, . . . , Cn) being monitored by a plurality of monitoring components (M2, . . . , Mn), the method comprising the following steps: a. selecting a component (C2) from the plurality of components (C2, . . . , Cn) of the SOA which is similar to the added component (C1) based on a similarity-metric; b. selecting at least one rule (R2) from the monitoring component (M2) of the selected component (C2), wherein the at least one rule (R2) has already been validated during the operation of the SOA; and c. adding the at least one rule (R2) to a new monitoring component (M1) of the added component (C1).

  • Patent number: 7979379
    Abstract: Monitoring a service oriented architecture (SOA) comprising a plurality of components. The method may include providing at least one monitoring unit for at least one of the plurality of components. The method may further include providing data concerning an operation of the at least one component as input data to the at least one monitoring unit. Finally, the method may include applying fuzzy logic in the monitoring unit to analyze the input data for generating at least one output value. The at least one output value may then be provided.

  • Publication number: 20100082586
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a database system (2) for providing access to contents (100) of a database (10), the database system (2) comprising: a. a control logic (25) being adapted for extracting a subset (100?) of the contents (100) and/or corresponding reference information (120) from the database (10) and for applying a time-stamp to the extracted contents (100?); b. a read-only database (20) being adapted for storing the extracted contents (100?) and/or the corresponding reference information (120); wherein c. the control logic (25) is adapted for providing access to the extracted contents (100?) and/or the corresponding reference information (120) only through an access application (30).

  • Patent number: 5842157
    Abstract: In a process for monitoring a machine or installation, signals from sensors positioned on components of the machine or installation are transmitted to a signal-conditioning unit. Conditioned sensor signals from the signal-conditioning unit are further processed. The machine or installation components to be monitored are mapped in machine or installation objects, and the machine or installation objects are combined. Ultimately, rule-based monitoring statements are obtained utilizing the combined objects.
