METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR COMPOSING AN OPTIMALLY-GRAINED SET OF SERVICE FUNCTIONS
First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program for managing granularity of a computing service infrastructure, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
- identify at least one set of service functions suited to characterization by one or more sets of metrics;
create a representation of at least one supplied functionality for the set of service functions for input to a formal process;
characterize at least one rule and at least one constraint for input to the formal process;
determine at least one set of metrics for evaluating the service functions;
quantify benefits associated with at least one of the sets of service functions using the set of metrics; and
provide one or more of the sets of service functions as output, wherein the output is based on the metrics determining the output by use of the formal process.

Abstract
Disclosed is a computer program product for managing granularity of a computing infrastructure, wherein the program, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to: identify at least one set of service functions suited to characterization by one or more sets of metrics; create a representation of at least one supplied functionality for the set of service functions for input to a formal process; characterize at least one rule and at least one constraint for input to the formal process; determine at least one set of metrics for evaluating the service functions; quantify benefits associated with at least one of the sets of service functions using the set of metrics; and provide one or more of the sets of service functions as output, wherein the output is based on the metrics determining the output by use of the formal process. Systems and infrastructure are also disclosed.
