Patent number: 8788248Abstract: The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for managing a flow model simulation. In an illustrative embodiment, annotated simulation settings are associated with a source model in response to receiving the source model. The annotated simulation settings are derived from at least one of a set of user-defined simulation settings and default simulation settings. The annotated source model is transformed into an internal domain model using a set of links that are generated using a set of link rules. The set of links maps a set of source model elements to a set of internal domain model elements of the internal domain model. Results from a simulation of the internal domain model are mapped back to the source model to identify a context for the results. Thereafter, a target view model is generated from the internal domain model. The target view model includes the results presented in the context of the source model.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2009Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jay William Benayon, Pablo Daniel Irassar, Kui Yan Lau, Humie Leung, William Gerald O'Farrell, Vincent Szaloky

Patent number: 8711142Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art with respect to modeling a process having a visual representation and provide a method, system and computer program product for importing a visual representation of a process for use in an application. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented visual process model importation method can include identifying an arrangement of one or more visual objects in a visual process model, selecting associations between the visual objects and corresponding representative elements for a target process model, mapping the visual objects in the source model into the selected corresponding representative elements for the target process model, and producing the target process model for the visual process model using the mapping. The method subsequently can include providing the target process model as input to an application such as a simulation engine, a workflow engine or a visual collaboration and documentation system.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2005Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jay W. Benayon, Pablo Daniel Irassar, Humie Leung

Patent number: 8326588Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product to simulate a business process model wherein a decision node may be modeled using a fair selection process or a random selection process, as selected by an end user. The fair selection process may provide a distribution of invocations among the outgoing paths of a decision node that substantially matches the probabilities assigned to those paths. A fair selection process may do this independent of the number of invocations of the decision node. A random selection process may provide random invocations among the outgoing paths of a decision node according the probabilities assigned to those paths.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2008Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jay William Benayon, Pablo Daniel Irassar, Vincent Szaloky

Patent number: 7979248Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to event driven simulation and provide a method, data processing system and computer program product for mapping a process model for use in a generic simulation engine. In an embodiment of the invention, a generic model simulation method can include mapping a specifically formatted process representation into a generic process model, and providing the generic process model to a simulation engine. The method further can include executing a simulation on the generic process model in lieu of executing the simulation on the specifically formatted process representation.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2008Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jay W. Benayon, Pablo Daniel Irassar, Bala Ramachandran, Vincent F. Szaloky

Publication number: 20110047216Abstract: A method, system and product is provided for the implementation of business to business event handling mechanisms for use in coarse grain components allowing communication of event information among providers and interested subscribers across a network. Provision of a flexible method for resolution of business event model dependencies allows a business component to define its own business event model independently and further may also allow changes to that model. This provision may be used to allow a client without an event handling server to place a dependency on another business component for the provision of event handling services. Further, using a web services architecture network implementation for communications, provides the capability of a business event handling system as a web service.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2010Publication date: February 24, 2011Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Pablo Daniel Irassar, Raymond Lee-Man Kong, Koi Chong Wong
