Abstract: An attribute having influence on a business flow is automatically extracted among one or more attributes associated with the business flow when the business flow is restored based on history data of business performed on a business system. An event sequence variation indicating an order of an attribute name is calculated based on a chronological relation of an attribute value of a date and time from history data of the business configured with an attribute name and an attribute value of business, the number of appearances of each attribute value of each attribute other than a date and time is counted for each event sequence variation, event sequences that are similar in a distribution of the number of appearances are grouped, and business flows generated for respective groups are integrated.

Abstract: Mismatches between software specifications are detected by dependence relation verification.

Abstract: An information control system capable of precisely defining and executing a condition for stipulating a state of an apparatus to be controlled. A storage unit stores an object definition table storing data items of a structure and a state of an object constituting a controlled system, and an actor definition table storing a monitor condition of an object state, an object monitor item and a setting value, as an actor as a control element for monitoring and controlling the object. A processing unit receives an object state from the controlled system, and when the state changes, transmits changed state value to the actor. The actor then refers to the actor definition table to judge whether the monitor condition is satisfied, and if satisfied, changes the setting value of the monitor condition and transmits a control command for setting value change to the object corresponding to the monitor item.
