Abstract: Computer implemented methods, apparatuses, and compute program products for modeling an enterprise are provided. Embodiments include providing to a user, by an enterprise modeling controller, a user interface comprising an icon carousel and a drop area interface for moving selected icons from the icon carousel. The icon carousel contains a plurality of icons, where each icon of the plurality of icons represents a particular solution component configuration. Embodiments also include for each icon within the drop area interface, identifying a corresponding solution component configuration and configuration data associated with the solution component configuration. Embodiments also include generating based on the configuration data associated with the identified solution component configurations one or more integration patterns indicating data processing relationships of the identified solution component configurations.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide a solution for responding to a change in an environment of a computer system. In an embodiment, a set of triggered controlled event listener learners (T-CELLs) are deployed in the computer system. Each T-CELL of the set of T-CELLs is a self-contained, persistent software construct. Further, each T-CELL has the ability to communicate with the other T-CELLs in the computer system. These T-CELLs can, in response to detecting a change in the computer system, automatically create a new T-CELL to respond to the change.

Abstract: A data storage method and system. The method includes defining, by a computing system, a meta-object, a schema based structured definition for the meta-object, and a taxonomy with configuration data. The computing system creates content associated with the taxonomy and associates topics of the content with a logical storage room representations. Reference coordinates associated with the logical storage room representations are associated with the taxonomy. The computing system generates updated configuration data that includes the reference coordinates and a uniform resource identifier associated with the content is generated. The computing system generates an account associated with the meta-object for a user. Metering charges for usage of the account and a report associated with the account and usage are generated.

Abstract: Animating speech of an avatar representing a participant in a mobile communication including selecting one or more images; selecting a generic animation template; fitting the one or more images with the generic animation template; texture wrapping the one more images over the generic animation template; and displaying the one or more images texture wrapped over the generic animation template. Receiving an audio speech signal; identifying a series of phonemes; and for each phoneme: identifying a new mouth position for the mouth of the generic animation template; altering the mouth position to the new mouth position; texture wrapping a portion of the one or more images corresponding to the altered mouth position; displaying the texture wrapped portion of the one or more images corresponding to the altered mouth position of the mouth of the generic animation template; and playing the portion of the audio speech signal represented by the phoneme.

Abstract: Augmenting reality for a user including creating a model of a region of the user's environment in a direction of the user's field of vision; determining, in dependence upon the model of the region of the user's environment, that an object located within the user's environment is invisible to the user; determining, in dependence upon the direction of the user's field of vision, the object's location, and the model of the region of the user's environment, a location to display a representation of the object on a transparent display in front of the user's field of vision; and displaying the representation of the object at the determined location on the transparent display in front of the user's field of vision.

Abstract: The present invention provides a solution that determines the readiness of a target organization to utilize an IT asset. Specifically, under the present invention, baseline criteria for determining the readiness of the target organization to utilize the IT asset are first identified. The baseline criteria are then refined (e.g., via personnel interviews, market research, etc.) to yield readiness criteria. A score is assigned to each of the readiness criteria for the target organization, and then optionally weighted. Using the scores (weighted or un-weighted), a readiness value for the target organization is computed and compared to a threshold value to determine the readiness of the target organization. Based on the results, at least one graphical depiction showing the readiness of the target organization can be generated.
