Hospital Reduces PC Imaging Time by More Than 75 Percent, Increases Level of Service 2008-05-01 Microsoft

Central DuPage Hospital needed to decrease the time for reimaging computers when users faced issues. The hospital now uses Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 and a custom-developed Web interface for remote reimaging of PCs. The hospital estimates a savings of U.S.$150,000 in IT efficiencies and has reduced the time to reimage a PC by 75 percent. It also gets users back to work more quickly for better patient care.

Put New Capabilities of Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) to Work, Part 8: Enabling WebSphere Business Monitor V6.1 to Receive Events Via WebSphere MQ 2008-04-29 IBM

In the mortgage lending business scenario used throughout this series of papers, the implementation of the business process application has not yet been defined. WebSphere Business Monitor can monitor business process applications running in virtually any environment, as long as CBEs can be generated from their activity and transmitted to the monitor model. If the business process applications are running in IBM WebSphere Application Server, IBM WebSphere Process Server, or IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, they can use a Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) event emitter factory to get the CBEs emitted to the monitor model. WebSphere Process Server applications are able to automatically emit CBEs if configured to do so in the IBM WebSphere Integration Developer tooling.

Model-Based Validation of QoS Properties of Biomedical Sensor Networks 2008-04-18 Uppsala University

A Biomedical Sensor Network (BSN) is a small-size sensor network for medical applications, that may contain tens of sensor nodes. This paper presents a formal model for BSNs using timed automata, where the sensor nodes communicate using the Chipcon CC2420 transceiver (developed by Texas Instruments) according to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. Based on the model, the paper has used UPPAAL to validate and tune the temporal configuration parameters of a BSN in order to meet desired QoS requirements on network connectivity, packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay. The network studied allows dynamic reconfigurations of the network topology due to the temporally switching of sensor nodes to power-down mode for energy-saving or their physical movements.

Put New Capabilities of Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) to Work, Part 7: Creating User-Defined XPath Functions for IBM WebSphere Business Monitor V6.1 2008-04-15 IBM

The monitor programming model receives data coming from external events, extracts these data, and maps them to metrics that may trigger other operations to occur. Expressions play an important role; they produce the values used in the monitor model and dictate the overall flow of the monitor model logic. One can define what values are eventually stored, how and when certain operations or events can take place, what events to process, and what monitor context instances to operate on - all by using XPath expressions. Previously, expressions were built mainly from event data, previously computed expressions, and built-in XPath functions. WebSphere Business Monitor V6.1 has introduced the notion of a User-Defined XPath Function (UDXF).
