Abstract: A method and an apparatus for easily and efficiently setting an evaluation index suitable for an evaluation purpose when a business or a business portfolio is evaluated. In the method and apparatus, investment distribution is easily and visually confirmed during computation of the evaluation index when an object to be computed is the business portfolio. A table for defining a computation expression model for the evaluation index and a correspondence relationship between the evaluation index and the evaluation purpose is managed by a database to extract and provide an evaluation index model conforming to the evaluation purpose specified by a user. When the business portfolio is evaluated, business investment distributions are represented by a pie chart. The investment distribution information is updated and the evaluation index is computed, by adjusting a distribution surface of the represented pie chart.

Abstract: An electronic circuit device has a high-density mount board (2), on which are disposed a microcomputer (3) and random access memory (7) which are connected to each other through an exclusive memory bus (12) for high-speed data transfer, a programmable device (8) which is a variable logic circuit represented by FPGA, and an electrically-rewritable nonvolatile memory (16) which can store the operation program of the microcomputer. The high-density mount board has external mounting pins on the bottom surface so that it can be mounted on a mother board in the same manner as a system on-chip multi-chip module. With an intended logic function being set on the programmable device, a hardware-based function to be realized by the electronic circuit device can be simulated. With an operation program being written to the nonvolatile memory, a software-based function to be realized can be simulated.

Abstract: A method for calculating a loss in business that can exactly calculate losses, which will occur in the future in business, and their variance in particular is provided. For a plurality of business processes constituting business, an error occurrence rate 0113 in each business process, and probability distribution of losses 0114 produced when an error has occurred in the business processes, are used as inputs. In addition to them, for a transaction handled in the business, a business process transition probability 0112 which denotes a probability that a transaction executed in a preceding business process will be executed in a subsequent business process is used as an input. Losses which will occur in the future in the business are thereby calculated.
