Filed:

Mar 26, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/691028

Inventors:

John Ainsworth - Mount Sinai NY, US
Ronald J. Cass - Cleveland Heights OH, US
Allan T. Andersen - Northport NY, US

Assignee:

Computer Associates Think, Inc. - Islandia NY

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 28

Abstract:

A computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a computer arrangement, configures the computer arrangement to perform a new plurality of steps. Those steps include retrieving data from a database. The data is associated with a plurality of assets, and the data for each asset includes information associated with the plurality features of the asset. The computer arrangement also groups the plurality of assets into at least one cluster based on the data and determines an associated hypothetical standard metric. A hypothetical standard metric comprises at least one of a Z-score corresponding to a deviation to a norm of the grouping and a curved line fitting. The computer arrangement also determines a degree of difference between each of a plurality of assets in the hypothetical standard metric and removes at least one asset of the plurality of assets to decrease the degree of difference.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

Abstract:

A portlet communication arrangement includes a first portlet associated with a first application, and a second portlet associated with a second application which is different than the first application. The portlet communication arrangement also includes a mapping system for allowing the first portlet to communicate with the second portlet and for allowing the second portlet to communicate with the first portlet. For example, the first portlet may include a first parameter associated with a particular type of data, the second portlet may include a second parameter associated with the particular type of data, and the mapping system may include a database that includes the first parameter, the second parameter, and a shared parameter namespace associated with the particular type of data. Moreover, the mapping system may be configured to map the first parameter and the second parameter to the shared parameter namespace to allow the first portlet to communicate with the second portlet and to allow the second portlet to communicate with the first portlet.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

718102

Abstract:

A system and method for diagnosing and managing resources in an information technology (IT) infrastructure is provided. The system and method may include storing information relating to a plurality of IT resources, business processes that use the IT resources, and services that support the business processes. Associations may be generated among the IT resource information, the business process information, and the service information.

Abstract:

Various methods, apparatus, computer program products embodied on computer-readable storage mediums, and systems of providing alertness-based authorization include determining the alertness of a user and authorizing access permissions for that user based on the determined alertness. Although the user is associated with access permissions that are predefined, the access permissions actually authorized for that user are distinct from the predefined access permissions with which the user is associated.
