  • Publication number: 20090228314
    Abstract: In one illustrative embodiment, a computer implemented method for an accelerated service delivery service is provided. The computer implemented method comprises receiving input data describing a source service model and a target service model, comparing the source service model and the target service model and, identifying differences between the source service model and the target service model to form a first set of identified differences, and responsive to an identification of differences, creating a set of transforms for the first set of identified differences. The computer implemented method further identifying differences between the set of transforms and the described target service model, to form a second set of identified differences. The computer implemented method evaluating the second set of identified differences to determine whether results are acceptable and responsive to a determination that results are acceptable, accepting the target service model.

  • Publication number: 20090228315
    Abstract: Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, a data processing system and a computer program product for project assessment using project yield determination. In one embodiment, the computer implemented method comprises receiving project input to form received project data, and performing a first calculation on the received project data to create a project yield and performing a second calculation on the project yield to create a weighted project yield. The computer implemented method further performing a third calculation on the weighted project yield to create a sum of the weighted project yields, and determining whether the sum of the weighted project yields exceeds a predetermined value. Responsive to a determination that the sum of the weighted project yields exceeds the predetermined value, identifying a project associated with the sum of the weighted project yields to create an identified project, and selecting the identified project for delivery.
