  • Transparent distribution and decoupling of modules using asynchronous communication and scopes
    Patent number: 9513980
    Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the invention may include using asynchronous communication and scopes to transparently decouple modules and distribute load. Asynchronous communication may be achieved by using message queues or by using message topics. Scopes are introduced as a means to provide structure to resources associated with the decoupled modules and to improve the ability to distribute such resources necessary to process messages between modules. Furthermore, the use of asynchronous communication and scopes may be done automatically and transparently to the user and/or application developers.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: SAP SE
    Inventors: Rainer Kerth, Wolfgang Degenhardt
  • Method and system for autonomic security configuration
    Patent number: 8904486
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for autonomic security configuration may include controlling a security configuration of at least one resource forming a solution based on a plurality of security requirements. The method may further include applying the plurality of security requirements across a plurality of resources independent of a resource type.

  • Cost based dynamic pricing of goods
    Patent number: 7885855
    Abstract: Methods and systems (200) for reducing losses related to perishables are disclosed. The perishables are grouped based on the use-by-date (UBD) and a quantity of at risk perishables are determined (210). A financial impact of the at risk perishables is calculated for each group (220). Pricing is dynamically determined for the perishables based on the financial impact and the UBD (230) and a price display is updated to indicate the pricing of the perishables (240).
