Publication number: 20070192706Abstract: The present invention utilizes a service gateway as a communication intermediary between clients and service providers. The gateway can include a dynamic runtime cache. Clients can communicate with the service gateway using a polling methodology. When polled information is already in the cache, the information can be immediately provided to the clients. Otherwise, the information can be obtained by querying a service provider. Service providers can communicate with the gateway using a subscription methodology. Information updates relating to subscriptions can be pushed to the cache. Hence, the cache always contains current information. Thus, clients are able to remain loosely-coupled in a service oriented architecture (SOA) without the SOA suffering from scalability or latency issues, which occur in conventional SOA implementations as the number of clients increase.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2006Publication date: August 16, 2007Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Edwin Bruce, Romelia Flores, Jason Salcido

Patent number: 7225435Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for eliminating redundant execution sequences that appear in workloads during workload simulation on an e-business application server. The invention eliminates redundancy by creating command patterns for commands that recur. This use of the command patterns permit execution of commands without having to rewrite the software code necessary for implementing the command every time there is a necessity to use the command in a workload. By building a reference workload and cloning the command patterns for each workload, redundancy can be eliminated among the workloads.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2001Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Romelia Flores, Philip E.

Patent number: 7090749Abstract: A method and system for simulating application workloads on an e-business application sewer hosting e-business application programs. A test driver can simulate different workloads and enable monitoring of e business applications. A work request for a placebo transaction can be forwarded to the application server for processing. The placebo transaction can be a workload used to test the application server by placing a load on the application server. The placebo transaction can emulate realtime tasks and activities within the application server. The workloads for the placebo transactions can require varying levels of processing resources. The placebo transaction can include hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) traffic. A work request can include HTTP requests for accomplishing e-business related calculations, and retrieving and/or storing information in a database.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2001Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Romelia Flores, Leonard S.
