• NetIQ Delivers Automated Cross-Platform Event Correlation and Resolution – The NetIQ Aegis adapter for EMC Smarts delivers the following functionality:

  * Automated investigation and recovery for EMC Smarts notifications and events
  * Correlation of EMC Smarts events from NetIQ AppManager®, BMC Remedy, HP OpenView and other platforms
  * Bi-directional integration of EMC Smarts data and events with ticketing systems, CMDBs and other data management tools

• One brand new product and two major enhancements to the BSM stack – Vienna HP Software Universe 2008 – Making Business Service Management a Reality – HP Operations Manager has a break through!
  - You can take events from anywhere into OMi because it sits directly on top of our CMDB
  - OMi gives you more than simply an "event stream" view of the world

  sounds like RapidInsight, no ?

• alphaWorks : Multi-Thread Run-time Analysis Tool for Java : Overview – Multi-Thread Run-time Analysis Tool for Java™ is an accurate and efficient run-time analysis tool for finding data races and deadlock conditions in multi-threaded code. This tool instruments applications to collect run-time information for detection of data race or deadlock conditions. Code is instrumented dynamically at run time by using byte code rewriting techniques. Execution of the instrumented code generates events that are analyzed "on the fly" using sophisticated data race and deadlock detection algorithms. The output from the detection algorithms is both precise and accurate. In experiments with both small and large example applications, it has been found that the tool puts out few spurious race and deadlock conditions.
