20120131181 | WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT IN HETEROGENEOUS ENVIRONMENTS - A system for managing a workload in a heterogeneous environment comprising at least one application, an interoperability layer for inter-application communication, and at least one adapter for connecting the at least one application to the interoperability layer, is disclosed. Such a system includes a self-adapting application connector management component which includes the following: a monitoring component for monitoring the performance and workload characteristics of one or more applications and/or one or more adapters; a computing component for computing a configuration change based on the monitored performance and workload characteristics; a change component for changing the configuration of the one or more adapters in accordance with the computed configuration change; and a change component for changing the configuration of the one or more applications in accordance with the computed configuration change. | 05-24-2012 |
20120331340 | Method and Arrangement for Fault Handling in a Distributed IT Environment - An improved method for fault handling in a distributed IT environment. The distributed IT environment executes at least one workflow application interacting with at least one application by using interface information about the at least one application. The method comprises: storing at least one fault handling description in a implementation-independent meta language associated with the at least one application; associating the interface information with the at least one fault handling description based on at least one defined fault handling policy, created based on at least one service definition; and the workflow application if a fault response from the at least one application is received: retrieving at least one associated fault handling description based on at least one fault handling policy, and interpreting and executing a particular meta language code of the at least one associated fault handling description in order to continue the defined workflow application. | 12-27-2012 |

The method comprises: storing at least one fault handling description in a implementation-independent meta language associated with the at least one application; associating the interface information with the at least one fault handling description based on at least one defined fault handling policy, created based on at least one service definition; and the workflow application if a fault response from the at least one application is received: retrieving at least one associated fault handling description based on at least one fault handling policy, and interpreting and executing a particular meta language code of the at least one associated fault handling description in order to continue the defined workflow application. | 10-24-2013 |
20140089926 | BUSINESS PROCESS MODEL ANALYZER AND RUNTIME SELECTOR - In a method for determining appropriate runtime environments for execution of a process model, a computer receives a process model. The process model includes a plurality of activities, wherein two activities are linked by a relationship. The computer determines that the two activities linked by a relationship match a process pattern. The computer determines one or more runtime environments for execution of the process model, wherein each of the one or more runtime environments is capable of executing the process pattern. | 03-27-2014 |
