  • Patent number: 8261287
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, apparatus, and program product that allows for monitoring of the progress of process without alterations to the existing application. There are provided a mapping logic generating unit 14 that refers to a mapping definition stored in a mapping definition storage unit 11 for mapping an object flow event to a control flow event, generates a mapping logic for identifying a control flow event mapped to an object flow event, and stores the mapping logic in a mapping logic storage unit 16; a log logic generator unit 15 that refers to a process definition stored in a process definition storage unit 12 for mapping a control flow event to monitoring log information, generates a log logic for providing a monitoring log of control flow events, and stores the log logic in a log logic storage unit 17; and a logic skeleton composer unit 18 that embeds a mapping logic and a log logic into a skeleton stored in a skeleton storage unit 13.

  • Patent number: 7613799
    Abstract: In order to provide information for making a decision when using composite services, there are provided means for calculating evaluation of combinations of services and means for visualizing the evaluations are provided. For this purpose, a method applied to a system having storage means includes receiving a selection of a plurality of service groups from one user; and computing an evaluation of combinations of services composed by selecting one service from among respective service groups of the plurality of service groups selected, based on evaluation information stored in the storage means.
