Systems and methods for handling multiple aspects of the acquisition of products and/or services, such as vehicles, are provided in a unified and streamlined fashion. Through an integrated credit application and tax refund estimation service application/systems, credit application-related data and non-overlapping tax-related data is captured. A tax refund is estimated based upon the tax-related data and at least a portion of the credit application-related data. Upon a determination to utilize at least a portion of the estimated tax refund as at least a portion of a down payment on a loan, at least a portion of the estimated tax refund is incorporated into a deal structure of the loan, and a credit application including the deal structure and at least the credit application-related data is submitted for a decision.

System and method for integrated credit application and tax refund estimation

A method is disclosed for assessing uncertainty comprising: creating a catalog for uncertainty areas; capturing quantitative and qualitative uncertainty data; establishing dependencies between uncertainties; associating risks to uncertainties; associating action plans and tasks to risks; creating a realization tree from uncertainty ranges; and tracking changes to uncertainties and realizations over time.

Method for assessment of uncertainty and risk

A method for managing semantic and syntactic metadata. The method begins with receiving heterogeneous data from either a machine or a human. Next, the method captures the semantic metadata corresponding to the received heterogeneous data by means of a semantic template. Next, the method captures the syntactic metadata corresponding to the received heterogeneous data by means of a syntactic template. After capturing the semantic and syntactic metadata, the method logically links the received heterogeneous data with the captured semantic and syntactic metadata. Finally, the method stores the received heterogeneous data in a repository.

System and method for managing semantic and syntactic metadata

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for optimizing applications, such as applications included in a business process In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method The method may include receiving information representative of one or more interfaces and aspects of each of the interfaces The interfaces may be adjustable by a business process supervisor The business process supervisor may adjust one or more aspects of the one or more interfaces The results of the adjustment may be received and used to determine optimum settings to the one or more interfaces Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described

Performance optimization of business processes by stochastic environmental changes

A distributed computing system provides a data management system in communication with a software management system and enables the software applications to move to the data to be processed in a distributed computing environment. The software management system stores a plurality of computer-executable software applications thereon and is in communication with a user system for receiving a selection of one of the plurality of software applications. The software management system generates an identifier for the selected software application which is provided to the data management system, which then obtains the selected software application from the software management system based on the identifier. The obtained software application is then executed with data from a data storage system using resources from a resource system. The resource system includes a plurality of resources and a manage mechanism for managing assignment of the plurality of resources to support execution of the software application.

Data-centric distributed computing

A system and a method for integrating design/engineering-to-procurement business process supply chain are provided. A buyer/user can access the technologies to perform design calculations using dynamic, real-time market data, and proceed to procure the selected equipment. A seller/user can list equipment and services on the system, and provide necessary data for design and engineering and transactions. A seller can also access and use technologies. A database consisting of technical and financial data specific to this fully integrated system is provided. The system is web-centric and can be accessed via the Internet or on local intranets. The system provides links to back offices systems, external catalogs, external marketplaces, and other services such as financial and fulfillment. A design methodology that integrates the engineering calculations with optimization of equipment selection based on dynamic market data is presented using a gas pipeline example. A new reliability based method for equipment design, which uses specific probabilistic material data from the marketplace is provided. This method also provides optimization methodology, which combine technical and financial data to obtain risk weighted optimal results.
