Prepending a name object or setting a type of a software object to a name and prepending a value object to the software object provides inheritance of a name value pattern by the software object to establish particular types or classes of attributes of the software object without modification of the software object itself that is thus strongly typed and accessible by type.

Method and apparatus for enabling agile development of services in cloud computing and traditional environments

A method, system, and/or computer program product establishes and utilizes a tenant-specific log for events related to a cloud-based service. A metamodel is created for a cloud-based service provided to a specific tenant of a cloud. The metamodel describes types of resources that are providing the cloud-based service that the specific tenant desires to monitor. In response to the cloud-based service being executed, the metamodel is used to identify a set of resources that are actually providing the cloud-based service for the specific tenant. A tenant-specific log is established to tracks events that occur on each actual resource from the set of resources, and records access to the specific unit of hardware by an authorized user of the specific unit of hardware. Operations related to the cloud-based service are transferred from the specific unit of hardware to a local device that is available only to the specific tenant.

Tenant-specific log for events related to a cloud-based service

A method, system, and/or computer program product establishes and utilizes a tenant-specific log for events related to a cloud-based service. A metamodel is created for a cloud-based service running on a cloud. The cloud-based service is provided to a specific tenant of the cloud, and the metamodel describes types of resources, on the cloud, that are providing the cloud-based service for the specific tenant. The metamodel is appended to the cloud-based service. In response to the cloud-based service being executed for the specific tenant of the cloud, the metamodel is used to identify a set of resources that are actually providing the cloud-based service for the specific tenant. A tenant-specific log for events related to the cloud-based service is established, where the tenant-specific log tracks events that occur on each actual resource on the cloud that provides the cloud-based service to the specific tenant. The tenant-specific log is then retrieved.

A method for archival management of business processes in a cloud environment is provided. In one aspect, the method comprises archiving managed pool including one or more versions of a business process instance or business process execution in a cloud computing environment. The method further comprises a provisioning manager of the cloud computing environment that requests or tasks provisioning, deprovisioning, decommissioning or deleting the one or more versions of a business process instance or business process execution. For each of the requests or tasks, a restore manager of the cloud environment determines, if the managed pools of virtual instances contain a business process management environment or a business process archive manager environment. The restore manager further recreates a previous version of the one or more versions of the business process instance or business process execution based on the determination.

Archival management of business processes in a cloud environment

A method and system for specifying a reusable process model. Sub-processes of a base process are identified as having a potential to be modified. By filling in values in a configurable pattern applied to each identified sub-process, dynamic categories are mapped to the identified sub-processes, thereby allowing the sub-processes to be reusable. A change to business requirements occurs, where the base process is based on the business requirements. Based on the change to the business requirements, a change to the values in the configurable pattern applied to a sub-process is received. The change to the values in the configurable pattern does not require a change to the base process.

Specifying reusable process models

An approach that provides routing a SIP message to a proxy server of a called party in a communication network is provided. In one embodiment, there is a routing tool that assists in routing a session initiation protocol (SIP) message to a called party. The routing tool, including a receiving component, receives a SIP message of a user making a call in the network. The routing tool further includes a parsing component configured to parse the message to determine the domain of the called party and performs a table lookup using the domain of the called party in order to: retrieve a destination code; embed the destination code into the message; and route the message based on the destination code.

Routing a session initiation protocol (SIP) message in a communication system

A data tag descriptor method and system. The method includes generating by a device, a request for media data. The device generates a globally unique data tag specifying hardware and software capabilities of the device and a transmission package comprising the request and the globally unique data tag. The device transmits the transmission package to a service provider. The service provider determines based comparing the globally unique data tag to a media tag associated with metadata describing the media data if the media data is compatible with the capabilities of the device. The device receives executable media data from the service provider. The executable media data comprises a specified form of the media data. The executable media data is generated based on results of determining if the media data is compatible with the capabilities of said device. The device executes the executable media data for a user.
