Patent number: 8626569Abstract: Performance prediction techniques are provided that utilize business-process information such as transaction history and log information. For example, in one aspect of the invention, a computer-based technique for providing a performance prediction service comprises the following steps/operations. First, business-process information associated with a business is obtained. Then, a performance estimation function is generated based at least in part on the business-process information, the performance estimation function being usable in responding to a query obtained from a potential customer of the business.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2008Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David M. Chess, Sophia Krasikov, Alla Segal, Senthilnathan Velayudham

Publication number: 20130262166Abstract: A method includes defining a first component set of one or more first components; defining a second component set of one or more second components; and defining an original set of relationships, each relationship being between one component of the first component set and one component of the second component set. The method further includes decomposing the original set of relationships into a collection of view sets, each view set having at least one subset of the original set of relationships where the first and second components are associated with the respective relationships of the subset, and each view set satisfies a set of constraints. The components may be elements of a business model.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2013Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Steven R. Abrams, Sophia Krasikov, Ian D. Simmonds, Emmanuel Yashchin

Publication number: 20130069967Abstract: Improved systems and techniques for representation of information. As a user creates a graphic design, properties represented by graphical elements of the design, are associated with visual characteristics of the elements, and a palette of elements is made available for use in development of the design or creation of new designs. As generalized elements are added to a design, the generalized elements may take on visual characteristics associated with properties identified by the positioning of the generalized elements in the design. Ongoing or existing designs may be surveyed to identify elements, properties represented by the elements, and visual characteristics associated with the properties, and new elements added to the palette or existing elements modified as a result of one or more surveys.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2011Publication date: March 21, 2013Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ateret Anaby-Tavor, David Amid, Matthew J. Callery, Michael Desmond, Sophia Krasikov, Harold L. Ossher, Ian D. Simmonds

Patent number: 8346911Abstract: A system, computer program and method for inspection of a system under inspection. The system may include an inspection program configured to access information available at the system under inspection and generate inspection data for the system under inspection. A runtime platform independent from the inspection program at the system under inspection is configured to limit the limit the contents of the inspection data to a maximum information content. A trusted third-party computer system may assist in selecting the inspection program and transferring the resulting inspection data.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2006Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David M. Chess, Sophia Krasikov, David W. Levine, John F. Morar, Edward J. Pring, Alla Segal, Ian N. Whalley

Publication number: 20110302494Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method to create a presentation having at least one sheet, where each sheet contains one or more visual elements, as well as a system and computer program embodied on a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes, in response to input from a user, representing visual elements as depictions in a model, where each depiction depicts a single item in the model, where each item is a unit of information with a unique identifier, where each item can be depicted by at least one depiction and each depiction defines the visual representation of the item's information via the visual element. The method further includes, in response to a change to an item made by altering the visual element associated with the depiction of the item, automatically propagating the change to the item to all other depictions of the item across all sheets of the presentation. The method further includes updating the associated visual elements to reflect the change to the item.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2010Publication date: December 8, 2011Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew J. Callery, Michael Desmond, Sophia Krasikov, Harold L. Ossher, Edith Schonberg, Ian D. Simmonds
