Filed:

Aug 29, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/846640

Inventors:

Pamela K. Isom - Highlands Ranch CO, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717103, 717102, 717107, 717108, 717109, 717111

Abstract:

A reusable framework is utilized for creating a software architecture in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). After a general framework is created, that general framework is divided into a governance domain and an architecture domain. The architecture domain is further divided into architecture sub-domains within the architecture domain. Activities that are required for the governance domain and each of the architecture sub-domains and identified and described in detail, and owners and progress status markers for these activities are identified. The detailed descriptors of the activities, identified owners and progress status markers are then mapped onto a client-specific System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) work product to create an SOA-based software architecture. Deployment timelines for the governance domain and the architecture domain are determined, and a project plan for deploying the SOA-based software architecture is created.

Appl. No.:

12/169749

Inventors:

Pamela K. Isom - Highlands Ranch CO, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 11/00
G06F 9/445

US Classification:

717168, 717171, 703 21, 714 25

Abstract:

A computer-based analysis of an enterprise computer system is utilized to identify pain points that cause the enterprise computer system to operate in a non-optimal or risky manner. Upon identifying the pain points, the enterprise computer system is simulated, and simulations of replacement components that the computer-based analysis has deemed appropriate for curing the pain points are installed in the simulated system. If the computer simulation with the replacement components cures the pain points and causes no new problems for the enterprise computer system, then corresponding actual replacement components are installed in the enterprise computer system.

Pamela K. Isom - Denver CO, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00
G06Q 99/00
G06F 21/00

US Classification:

705 711, 705300, 705301, 705317, 705348, 705 52

Abstract:

An intelligent enterprise architecture (LEA) for an enterprise is defined. One or more IEA entry points are selected. IEA entry points represent a starting point for defining the IEA, which is an architectural development process for defining an enterprise computing architecture within a smart computing system. One or more business drivers for pain points in the enterprise are associated with a selected IEA entry point. A business value model is generated and utilized to focus a scope of the business drivers for the selected IEA entry point. An optimal IEA that satisfies the business drivers to ameliorate the pain points in the enterprise is then defined.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00
G06F 17/40
G06F 19/00

US Classification:

705 7

Abstract:

A graphical representation of activities of an enterprise is created to aid in the implementation of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The graphical representation has a vertical axis and a horizontal axis. Descriptive job titles of actors associated with the enterprise are documented along the horizontal axis. Functional domains are documented along the vertical axis. Existing business functions and existing key processes of the enterprise are then documented along the horizontal axis for each functional domain, and the functional domains are prioritized to determine an order in which the SOA is implemented.

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 2

Abstract:

A method, system and computer program product for facilitating ergonomics-based health in a user of a computer workstation is presented. The method includes the steps of detecting an ergonomics problem for a user of a computer workstation, wherein the ergonomics problem is directly related to a current real-time body position of the user, and wherein the ergonomics problem would likely cause an injury to the user if left uncorrected. A user health protection algorithm is then executed to generate an ergonomic recommendation. The user health protection algorithm utilizes user work parameters as inputs. The ergonomic recommendation, which will correct the ergonomics problem, is then presented to the user.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715764

Abstract:

A method, system and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for providing automatic navigation of a service registry and repository in a service-oriented architecture. The method includes receiving a request from a user to discover a service listed in a service registry and repository of a service-oriented architecture; automatically displaying to the user a description of a service listed in the service registry and repository; and in response to displaying the description of the service, automatically displaying to the user a description of a second service listed in the service registry and repository after a predetermined period of time expires.
