Abstract: Techniques, a system and an article of manufacture for translation decomposition and execution. A method includes decomposing a document associated with a document translation request into two or more document parts based on meta-data of the document and content of the document, estimating translation complexity between a source language and a target language for each of the two or more document parts, classifying the two or more document parts based on the estimated translation complexity of each part and meta-data corresponding to each part, assigning each of the two or more document parts to a particular individual amongst a set of translators for translation based on the classification of each part and one or more variables associated with the set of translators, assembling each translation output for the two or more document parts to form a final output, and formatting the final output.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an approach for reusing information/knowledge. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for retrieving previously stored data to satisfy queries (e.g., jobs/tickets) for solutions to problems while maintaining privacy/security of the data as well as ensuring the quality of the results. In a typical embodiment, a query for a solution to a problem is received and details are extracted therefrom. Using the details, a search is performed on a set of data stored in at least one computer storage device. Based on the search, a set of results will be generated and classified into a set of categories. In any event, the quality of each of the set of results will be assessed based on the usefulness of the set of results.

Abstract: A method and system for transforming a first computer program having program statements to a second computer program. A parsed first computer program is translated to the second computer program. The first computer program includes a first program statement that includes a first error. The translating includes: (i) identifying a second program statement in the parsed first computer program that includes a second error and has thrown a translation exception with respect to the second error, (ii) rolling back the translating to a predefined check point prior to the second program statement in the parsed first computer program such that the predefined check point is associated with a statement in the parsed first computer program that was successfully translated, and (iii) generating an executable equivalent translation for the second statement. After the translating, a mapping of one or more statements is generated.

Abstract: A method and system to transform a plurality of programs associated with a plurality of programming languages is provided. In the method, a request is received by a computer to transform a first program in a first programming language to a second program in a second programming language. The first program is then transformed, wherein the transformation includes eliminating errors using predefined criteria. Further, the method maps a statement of the first program with a corresponding statement of the second program.

Abstract: A method and system of managing a relationship between a provider and a client. A project model, organization model and stakeholder model are generated. Based on the project, organization and stakeholder models, factors that influence the relationship between the provider and the client are defined. The factors are evaluated by receiving results of data mining artifact(s) of the project, surveying the provider and/or client with a role-based survey, and capturing experiences provided by the provider and/or client. A status of the relationship is proactively monitored based on the evaluated factors. Based on historical information about the relationship and based on the evaluated factors, the status of the relationship between the provider and the client is assessed.

The instant invention also provides a configured computer program product for carrying out the above method.

Abstract: A technique for orchestrating composite web services in a constrained data flow environment. Data flow constraints represent the restrictions which the domains involved in composition might want to impose on access to the data they provide or the source from which they can accept data. The data flow constraints are overcome by breaking down an input composite web service specification into topologies (a topology is a set of partitions communicatively connected with one another at runtime). The system applies a rule-based filtering mechanism to choose a topology that does not violate any data flow constraints. Each of the partitions belonging to the chosen topology is executed within the same domain as the corresponding web service it invokes, thus having the same access rights as the corresponding web service. The composite web service is orchestrated in a decentralized fashion using these partitions, thereby ensuring that no data flow constraints are violated.

Abstract: Provided are methods, apparatus arid computer programs for scheduling storage input and/or output (I/O) requests. A method for scheduling storage access requests determines a request processing sequence calculated to maximize SLA-based revenues achievable from processing a number of requests. A storage controller includes a scheduler which implements a revenue-based scheduling function to determine a revenue-maximizing processing sequence, and then assigns storage access requests to locations in a queue corresponding to the determined sequence. In an on-line mode, the scheduler can adapt to additional received requests, evaluating the revenue function for the additional requests and modifying the schedule if required. The method may include analyzing a request stream to predict requests that are likely to be received in the near future, and taking account of the predicted requests when determining a processing schedule.
