Patent number: 9785899Abstract: A computer-implemented process for managing configurable resource policies executes a resource expression associated with a received user selection to extract information from an executing simulation. Responsive to a determination that there are no more user selections to process, a set of rules is selected using the user selections and resource expression to populate a resource template using extracted information and selected rules. A resource policy is generated using the populated template. The generated resource policy is applied to the executing simulation, wherein behavior of the executing simulation is modified.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2013Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jay W. Benayon, Vincent Szaloky

Patent number: 8788248Abstract: The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for managing a flow model simulation. In an illustrative embodiment, annotated simulation settings are associated with a source model in response to receiving the source model. The annotated simulation settings are derived from at least one of a set of user-defined simulation settings and default simulation settings. The annotated source model is transformed into an internal domain model using a set of links that are generated using a set of link rules. The set of links maps a set of source model elements to a set of internal domain model elements of the internal domain model. Results from a simulation of the internal domain model are mapped back to the source model to identify a context for the results. Thereafter, a target view model is generated from the internal domain model. The target view model includes the results presented in the context of the source model.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2009Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jay William Benayon, Pablo Daniel Irassar, Kui Yan Lau, Humie Leung, William Gerald O'Farrell, Vincent Szaloky

Patent number: 8326588Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product to simulate a business process model wherein a decision node may be modeled using a fair selection process or a random selection process, as selected by an end user. The fair selection process may provide a distribution of invocations among the outgoing paths of a decision node that substantially matches the probabilities assigned to those paths. A fair selection process may do this independent of the number of invocations of the decision node. A random selection process may provide random invocations among the outgoing paths of a decision node according the probabilities assigned to those paths.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2008Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jay William Benayon, Pablo Daniel Irassar, Vincent Szaloky
