  • Scalable synchronous and asynchronous processing of monitoring rules
    Patent number: 7539974
    Abstract: A rules runtime engine for scheduling and concurrently processing of rules. The engine efficiently runs a large number of rules in a parallel fashion. This is accomplished by authoring rules in a rule definition language, passing these rules through the translator for communication to the runtime engine and, scheduling and concurrently processing the translated instructions using the runtime engine. The engine also receives configuration data that instantiates the instructions thus, giving form to a living set of rules.

  • Rules definition language
    Patent number: 7506307
    Abstract: A rules definition language the authoring rules for concurrent processing. The RDL includes statements that facilitate efficient use of computer resources by allowing a rule to be broken down into one or more instructions, and processing these instructions asynchronously to provide more efficient use of the computer resources. Once processed into the instructions, results thereof can be passed among the instructions to facilitate process completion of the rule.

  • Model-based management of computer systems and distributed applications
    Patent number: 7103874
    Abstract: Model-based application management architecture. A developer can describe an application or service in terms of its constituent components. Desired states can be described in terms of functionality, configuration, security, and performance. The description is employed at application installation to configure management services, which services help to ensure availability of the application through automatic management actions, such as configuration management, problem detection, diagnosis, and recovery.
