AUTONOMIC DISCRETE BUSINESS ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT METHOD

Discrete Business Activity Management is a method whereby continuous streams of data formatted in one or more taxonomies, originating from two or more networked entity domain nodes within a Grid Framework or equivalent, are extracted at two or more independent times and synchronized to an assigned time index, then translated into each other's taxonomy or harmonized, securely filtered and, routed thereby creating a universal or federated view of business activity over time, which may be viewed in the context of any single domain. An apparatus which performs DBAM consists of processing, storage and network hardware and software, along with software which integrates the function of the DBAM within a Grid Framework or equivalent. The apparatus is further configured as a service for sale to subscribers through the addition of administrative software architecture to manage subscriber access, proprietary information, data element integrity and quality of service in connection with distributed applications.
