Abstract: Disclosed is a time-series management device capable of filtering time-series data having a possibility of matching a specified search pattern and reading in the data from a storage device when performing a time-series analysis. A data accumulation unit (120) creates a time-series index having a feature value of a data series calculated at a specific regular time interval. In addition, a data search unit (130) makes a decision as to the feature value for each regular time interval included in the time-series index using an evaluation formula of a specified search condition, identifies a time period of a complying data series group, and performs a time-series analysis for only the data series of the identified time period.

Abstract: An operation management program collects a query status table of a migration-source agent processing program and creates a server status table. The operation management program, based on the server status table, computes a migration cost for each query, and selects the query with the smallest migration cost as a migration query. Then, the operation management program migrates the selected query, using the optimum migration method.

Abstract: A business system on the Web base having a plurality of system apparatuses and software components aims at reducing a load on configuration works and employment works of the business system. In an employment management system for the business system having a plurality of system apparatuses, a storage device stores unit configuration information, a plurality of methods constituting a common interface, and a program for each method. The common interface has at least a partial halt method for making the unit halt an operation of the business system and a partial restart method for making the unit restart the operation of the business system. When an arithmetic processing part performs employment operations by making a predetermined system apparatus halt the operation of the business system, the unit including the predetermined system is subjected to partial halt, employment operations and then partial restart.
