Self-Adaptive SLA-Driven Capacity Management for Internet ServicesBruno Abrahao
- The document presents a self-adaptive capacity management scheme for internet data centers (IDCs) that aims to maximize a service provider's revenue while satisfying customers' service level agreements (SLAs).
- It uses a control interval framework to dynamically adjust VM capacity based on performance models and a cost model. Performance is estimated using queueing theory, and costs account for per-use pricing and penalties/rewards for meeting/missing SLAs.
- Experimental analysis shows the self-adaptive approach increases provider payoff and maintains application stability compared to static configurations, while different performance approximations provide similar accuracy.
This document discusses mapping business process models created in BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) to UML (Unified Modeling Language) models. It introduces key elements of BPMN and UML, including activity diagrams, then examines different approaches to mapping between the notations, such as one-to-one, single source to composed target, and handling overloaded BPMN elements. The team demonstrates their ATL (Atlas Transformation Language) based approach to automating the mapping and assesses limitations and alternatives to mapping BPMN to UML.
Software development lifecycle (SDLC) has traditionally been used for in-house systems
or custom-developed software. Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) has been
used specifically in software engineering to demonstrate the maturity of an organization's
software development process. Implementations of packaged enterprise software bring a
unique set of challenges that need to be viewed from the different perspectives of SDLC
and CMMI. This presentation demonstrates how ERP managers can articulate their
development and support process within the context of SDLC and CMMI.

Overall, the document advocates for using computer-aided facilities management systems to collect and analyze relevant operational data.
Simplify Estimating & Pricing of Application ManagementFrank Vogelezang
Estimating Application Management is not simple because the scope of Application Management is more diffuse than the scope of a project. (Application Management is software that manages and monitors the availability and components of network-centered applications within an organization, such as e-mail, intranets and client/server).
When Application Management is outsourced to an IT service provider, both parties need to have a clear understanding what activities will be outsourced and what activities will remain with the outsourcing organization.
To make that easier, Ordina has developed Dynamic Delivery, which selects the best IT service model for Application Management.
When you have defined what activities are in scope for an Application Management service offering, you are able to use this model as a basis to estimate the related effort and cost. In this webinar, you will learn how Ordina was able to do this in a transparent way, based on experience data by:
- Combining the vision of their Service Component Model with the estimating power and references of SEER-IT.
- Translating the Service Component Model to WBS elements that are predominantly based on the knowledge bases within SEER-IT.
- Configuring the WBS elements to be able to estimate Application Management for Oracle EBS.
It shows how we converted our model for estimating application management into a working model using SEER for IT and SEER for Software knowledge bases.

Cloud Migration: Azure acceleration with CAST HighlightCAST
Learn how to accelerate your cloud migration: https://www.castsoftware.com/use-cases/cloud-readiness-and-migration
Cloud migration is table stakes for digital transformation initiatives. The driving factors to get to the cloud vary from organization to organization...for some, it's about cost savings and for others, it's about creating smarter apps that support continuous innovation.
IaaS – For organizations looking to reduce costs, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a great option. IaaS is sometimes described as "Lift and Shift" – when applications are moved from an existing infrastructure to a cloud infrastructure. This helps save money by reducing the hardware needed to run those applications and providing flexibility to adjust infrastructure requirements on-demand.
PaaS – For organizations looking for smarter deployments that facilitate digital transformation, streamline the delivery of new feature and support emerging technologies like IoT and Machine Learning, Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a more suitable option. While a considerable percentage of new application development is done with a cloud-first mentality, most legacy software is not optimized for a cloud environment.
So now the question becomes, how do I get my existing application portfolios ready for cloud migration so I can take full advantage of new technologies and processes
Software Intelligence-Based Cloud Readiness
So you’re ready for PaaS, but before you begin to assess the technical and structural requirements of the migration, you must also determine the business drivers for cloud and the desired outcomes. Setting a cloud migration roadmap that is based on comprehensive Software Intelligence that considers both business drivers and technical features of your applications is a critical first step.

8. HPCM Product Overview
What is HPCM?
Cost and revenue allocation tool
Flexible in allocation method - TBC / ABC / custom
User driven process
Single point of maintenance
Traceability and audit trail
Essbase or Relational back-end
Integrated into the EPM suite
10. HPCM Product Overview
Stages
A stage provides the definition of a slice of data in the HPCM Model. The Stages are key
building blocks in an HPCM model since the allocations occur from stage to stage (inter stage)
or within a stage itself (intra stage). A Stage in HPCM is made up of up to three (3) dimensions.
An application may contain up to nine (9) stages.
Drivers
Drivers provide the allocation method or formula by which data is allocated from a Source to
a Destination. The HPCM software provides default drivers such as Simple, Even, or
Percentage, while also allowing the user to create unlimited custom drivers to fit their needs.
Assignments
Assignments in HPCM represent the relationships in the data between stages (mappings).
Assignments must be represented by all dimensions in the source stage and all dimensions in
the destination stage. Assignments can be within a stage (intra stage), from stage to stage, or
skip stages, but must always flow downstream.
11. HPCM Product Overview
Assignment Rules
When creating assignments, destinations can be selected one-by-one or by applying
assignments rules. That is to say that for a single source, there may exist multiple
destinations. This method of assigning destinations by using Assignment Rules is usually more
efficient for calculations scripts to generate, calculate, and maintain.
Direct Allocations vs. Genealogy Allocations
Direct allocations occur downstream from stage to stage. They represent data that has a
direct relationship from the source to the destination of the assignment.
Genealogy allocations occur up and down stream. The results of the genealogy allocation
represent data that has an indirect relationship. (i.e. Stage 3 back to Stage 1)
13. Functional Requirements
For our discussion, the business requires that the solution provide:
Ability to allocate revenue and expense actuals by Account, Department ,
Activity and Client
Ability to drive allocations using metrics such as Headcount and Billed hours
Allocation of “When-reported” rather than “When-worked” revenue data
Ability to report on and analyze revenue and expense allocation detail by
Account, Department, Activity and Client
Ability to provide client-level profitability detail
15. Design Objectives
Design a solution that will:
Accept data imported from source systems (i.e. GL or HR systems)
Allow for business-specific driver definition
Allow for system or user entry of driver values
Process cost and revenue allocations on a monthly basis
Process cost and revenue allocations by Account, Department, Activity and
Client
Allocate cost and revenue data using Drivers such as Headcount and Billed
hours
Provide end-user reporting for cost and profitability by Account, Department ,
Activity and Client

19. Technical Design - Stages
Stage 1 – General Ledger (Department, Account)
This stage represents the data loaded from the General Ledger
Stage 2 – Activity (Activity, Department)
This stage represents data through an Activity “lens”. In our example, Stage 2 receives data
that results from the Stage 1 allocations.
Stage 3 – Client (Client)
This stage represents the end state of the allocations. Once the data reaches this stage, it
should be fully allocated and visible through the client “lens”.
20. Technical Design - Drivers
The profitability solution can use a combination of standard HPCM drivers along
with User Defined Drivers.
HPCM Drivers:
Simple
Even
Percentage
User Defined Drivers
Custom Driver 1
Custom Driver 2
21. Technical Design – Driver Selection
The Driver selection is made at the members of the driving dimension of each Stage.
Exceptions can be defined with members from each dimension of the Source Stage to
define the Driver Selection. Exceptions are less efficiency and more maintenance
intensive and so they should be used sparingly.
• In our application, Department is the driving dimension for Stage 1. A sample Driver
Selection would be at the member “Sales_Marketing”. That Driver would be Even and so the
costs associated with the “Sales_Marketing” Department would be allocated to each
assignment in Stage 2 evenly.
Source Stage Dimension/Member Driver
Stage 1 - General Ledger Sales_Marketing Even
• In our application, Activity is the driving dimension for Stage 2. A sample Driver Selection
would be at the member “EPMConsulting”. That Driver Selection would be Billable Hours
and so the costs associated with the Activity “Consulting” would be allocated to each
assignment in Stage 3 using the Billable Hours Driver.
Source Stage Dimension/Member Driver
Stage 2 - Activity EPMConsulting Billable Hours
22. Technical Design - Assignments
The profitability solution can use a combination of standard Assignments and
Assignment Rules.
• A Standard Assignment is specifically defined by selecting a member from each
dimension in the Source Stage and each dimension in the Destination Stage.
Stage 2 -> Stage 3

PlanningPractice Consulting Client100
HFMPractice Consulting Client300
• An Assignment Rule is defined at the Source dimensions and creates assignments
to the Destination Stage based on a set of criteria. That criteria can include
member name, outline relationship, attribute, or a UDA. Assignment Rules are
typically more efficient to process. Their use also reduces maintenance.
