Publication number: 20200159591Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to finding a service in a service infrastructure. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a service lookup request, where the service lookup request includes an application program interface (API) specification for a service to be invoked, where the API specification defines at least one target input parameter and at least one target output parameter. The method further includes searching for at least one service that has an API specification that corresponds to the API specification included in the service lookup request. The method further includes determining a sequence of services if no service is found that has an API specification that corresponds to the API specification included in the service lookup request, where services of the sequence of services include API specifications that, in combination, correspond to the API specification included in the service lookup request; and invoking the services of the sequence of services.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2018Publication date: May 21, 2020Inventors: Oliver RUDOLPH, Hendrik HADDORP, Timo KUSSMAUL, Uwe HANSMANN, David WINTER, Udo SCHOENE, Anke LÜDDE, Andreas PROKOPH

Publication number: 20190080269Abstract: A method, system, and/or a computer program product is provided for assigning a content item to a data center and for storing the content item in the data center. The method comprises reading a workflow definition. The workflow definition comprises a plurality of states for a content item. A state is determined of the content items in its related workflow, and probabilities are determined for future workflow states using author profiles performing future workflow steps resulting in the future workflow states. Furthermore, a data center performance indicator is determined for each of a plurality of data centers enabled for storing the content item, and a content item storage indicator is determined using the determined probabilities and the determined data center performance indicator for each of the plurality of data centers. The content item is stored in that data center which related content item storage indicator exceeds a predefined threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2017Publication date: March 14, 2019Inventors: Uwe Hansmann, Daniel Kaulen, Timo Kußmaul, Klaus Rindtorff
