Patent number: 11222323Abstract: Systems and methods provide at least one software application to users from a software monitor computer server. The software application requires a license grant for use. The software monitor computer server tracks usage of the software application to develop historical use patterns. The software monitor computer server also receives calendar input from electronic calendars of the users and analyzing the calendar input to identify future calendared uses of the software application. This allows the software monitor computer server to predict the future license grant needs of the software application based on the historical use patterns and the future calendared uses of the software application. The software monitor computer server also provides substitute software applications to the users when an insufficient number of license grants are available to meet the future calendared uses of the software application.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vijay K. Aggarwal, Lorraine M. Herger, Matthew A. McCarthy, Clifford A. Pickover

Patent number: 9921901Abstract: An approach is provided in a service desk detects a current computer resource outage and identifies applications corresponding to the computer resource outage. The service desk uses historical service request entries to match the identified applications to users previously inquiring about the applications and, in turn, sends notifications to the users regarding the computer resource outage.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2015Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vijay K. Aggarwal, Scott S. Dickerson, Edward D. Whitehead

Patent number: 8635618Abstract: An information technology services management product is provided with a change management component that identifies conflicts based on a wide range of information. When a change on a configuration item is scheduled, the change management component identifies, for example, affected business applications, affected service level agreements, resource availability, change schedule, workflow, resource dependencies, and the like. The change management component warns the user if a conflict is found. The user does not have to consult multiple sources of information and make a manual determination concerning conflicts. The change management component may also suggest a best time to schedule a change request based on the information available. The change management component provides a constrained interface such that the user cannot schedule a change request that violates any of the above requirements. The change management component also applies these requirements when changing an already scheduled change request.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2007Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vijay K. Aggarwal, Adam R. Holley, Arnaud A. Mathieu, Chakkalamattam J. Paul, Puthukode G. Ramachandran, Edward Whitehead

Patent number: 8219998Abstract: A load balancing method incorporates temporarily inactive machines as part of the resources capable of executing tasks during heavy process requests periods to alleviate some of the processing load on other computing resources. This method determines which computing resources are available and prioritizes these resources for access by the load balancing process. A snap shot of the resource configuration and made secured along with all data on this system such that no contamination occurs between resident data on that machine and any data placed on that machine as put of the load balancing activities. After a predetermined period of time or a predetermined event, the availability of the temporary resources for load balancing activities ends. At this point, the original configuration and data is restored to the computing resource such that no trace of use of the resource in load balancing activities is detected to the user.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2008Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Neil Allen Taylor, Adam R. Holley, Vijay K. Aggarwal, David Bruce Kumhyr

Patent number: 8095641Abstract: A method and system for monitoring computational resources within a data processing system is presented. A monitoring service receives a non-application-specific request to perform a monitoring operation in order to gather information about the usage of a computational resource within a data processing system. The monitoring service automatically selects a monitoring application from a set of monitoring applications in which the selected monitoring application is able to perform the monitoring operation on the computational resource. The monitoring service then sends to the selected monitoring application an application-specific request that identifies the computational resource and indicates the monitoring operation to be performed on the computational resource.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2005Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vijay K. Aggarwal, Chakkalamattam J. Paul, Puthukode G. Ramachandran, Andrew N. Trossman
