In this paper, we introduce a Business Driven Framework for the Management of Utility Computing Environments (BDMF). The framework couples two main subsystems on top of an IETF-like policy-based resource control layer. They are MBO (Management by Business Objectives) where the decision ability supported by analysis of business objectives resides, and GSLA (Generalized SLA), an advanced framewor...

This paper presents an industrial validation of a semantic-mediation architecture that enables business-to-business (B2B), standards-based interoperability between heterogeneous legacy applications. The architecture was implemented using a state-of-the-art semantic-mediation toolset for design-time and run-time integration tasks. The design-time tools supported a domain ontology definition, mes...

Using graph data models for business intelligence applications is a novel and promising approach. In contrast to traditional data warehouse models, graph models enable the mining of relationship patterns.
