Abstract: A method for managing a storage system comprises ejecting a first drive in the storage system having a plurality of drives, in response to determining a fault associated with the first drive, wherein the ejecting takes place in response to a command issued by a management tool utilized for determining the fault associated with the plurality of drives in the storage system.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and a data processing system for representing service relationships of a business process. A plurality of services are read, and first and second services of the plurality of services are selected. An output and effect of the first service is compared with an input and precondition of the second service. Responsive to the comparison, an evaluation is made to determine if the first service is related to the second service. Related services may then be linked by directed edges in a graph.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and a data processing system that facilitates navigation through a directed graph for selection-of sub-processes of a modified business process derived from a business process is provided. A bounding box is used for evaluating and selecting sequences of nodes representative of business sub-processes or services. The bounding box has a predefined depth for limiting the scope of the evaluation. The bounding box is shifted during the evaluation as sequences of nodes are selected. Additionally, state data is maintained such that a sense response model may be employed to detect and account for changes to the environment in previously evaluated services.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and a data processing system for selecting services of a business process for execution is provided. Ontological data is read from a data store, and an ontological model representative of the ontological data is then generated. The ontological model is mapped to a business process that comprises a plurality of sub-processes. The ontological model is used to select a subset of the plurality of sub-processes comprising the original business process resulting in a modified business process.
