Publication number: 20160070540Abstract: A method and system defines a mechanism to architect and define extensible methods and processes to build hybrid solutions. Solution templates provide a mechanism to architect and define the software development method in an extensible way and it enables the method architecture to be flexible to assemble method content and process elements only for those solution types that are necessary for a given solution. Solution templates keep the common base method lightweight and reusable and control the proliferation of software development processes necessary to build hybrid solutions by defining the solution templates for each of the solution types as pluggable extensions or add-ons to the base method that can be assembled on demand based on project needs.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2015Publication date: March 10, 2016Inventors: Ali P.

Patent number: 8786438Abstract: A location based service and method configured to provide recovery assistance for a misplaced or stolen mobile device. The location based system and method is configured to locate (recover) high value mobile devices using location, presence and other IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) based telecommunications network assets. The method includes leveraging location dips performed for other services to drive a recovery process for a mobile device to thereby reduce resource overhead on a location platform; locating the mobile device using the location dips performed for other services; and sending a notification to a subscriber of the location of the mobile device for recovery of the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2013Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kerrie L.

Patent number: 8739111Abstract: The method of the present invention to re-factor, rationalize, and prioritize a service model and to assess service exposure in the service model is illustrated. The service model is reviewed and re-factored and the service portfolio and service hierarchy are refined, exposure decisions are made, and finally the service model and its constituent parts are rationalized based on the re-factoring and exposure decisions. Another technique called Service Litmus Tests (SLTs) is leveraged during service re-factoring and rationalization. SLTs are set of gating criteria to select and filter a set of (candidate) services from the service portfolio for exposure. A Service Exposure Assessment Toolkit (SEAT) is also presented in the present invention. SEAT is a mathematical model to facilitate making exposure decisions for services and prioritizing the services in the service model.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2010Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Abdul Allam, Ali P.

Patent number: 8660885Abstract: Defining service ownership for an SOA includes defining, in response to an event requiring a change in service ownership and in dependence upon data describing business functions within a business, a service domain. Embodiments also include reviewing the defined service domain for approval and upon approval of the defined service domain, identifying potential impact upon currently existing service domains caused by implementation of the defined service domain. Embodiments also include identifying a potential owner of the defined service domain in dependence upon a service type of the defined service domain and funding requirements of the service domain and presenting, to relevant stakeholders in the business, the potential owner of the defined service domain for approval. Upon approval of the potential owner of the defined service domain, embodiments include assigning the potential owner of the defined service domain responsibility for managing the defined service domain.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2012Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William A.

Patent number: 8660874Abstract: In general, the present invention provides a technique for IT estimation modeling of any organization. Although this estimation model is applied to SOA herein, it is not limited to solely estimating SOA activities; the maturity-based estimation modeling can be applied to other areas and disciplines, even beyond the IT industry. The maturity-based model of the present invention also offers executives and project managers a very effective estimating tool to analyze the impact of project variances. Resources do not need to be taken off projects and assigned to perform estimations, as this model acquires knowledge over time and delivers ever more precise estimates with each successive project. Executives and project managers may analyze the effects of additional staff, function changes, or other events to an overall project. Additionally, new projects may be estimated without utilizing current personnel with this adaptive learning model.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2009Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Abdul Allam, Kishore Channabasavaiah, Kerrie L.
