METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HARMONIZING THE GATHERING OF DATA AND ISSUING OF COMMANDS IN AN AUTONOMIC COMPUTING SYSTEM USING MODEL-BASED TRANSLATION
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- accepting at least a first input and a second input from a plurality of sensors, the first input corresponding to a first language, and the second input corresponding to a second language, wherein the first language is different from the second language;
performing at least one computational function on the at least the first input and the second input according to at least one of installed policies and an input from an autonomic manager; and
harmonizing the at least the first input and the second input into an output corresponding to a common language for use by the autonomic manager.

Abstract
A system includes vendor specific converters [210, 215, 220, 225] to gather vendor-specific data from sensors [235, 240] and convert to normalized data. The vendor-specific data comprises at least a first input and a second input. The first input corresponds to a first language and the second input corresponds to a second language, where the first language is different from the second language. The vendor specific converters [210, 215, 220, 225] receive normalized commands and issue vendor-specific commands to a managed resource [165]. A converter module [230] receives the normalized data and converts to an output corresponding to a common language. The converter module [230] also receives and outputs normalized commands corresponding to the common language. Semantic processing logic [255] receives the normalized data and matches the normalized data against a predetermined set of knowledge bases and generates a new object to send to an autonomic manager [160].
