Patent number: 8957912Abstract: A method of displaying a series of items in an application window on a display device, the method comprising the steps of rendering a subset of the series of items in the application window, calculating the vertical size of each rendered item, calculating the vertical size of the minimal rendered item, calculating the difference of the application window height minus the vertical size of the element containing all rendered items, determining candidate items for addition to the subset if the difference is positive, or determining candidate items for removal from the subset if the difference is negative, iterating through the candidate items, rendering a new subset of the series of items in the application window by adding or removing the iterated candidate items, and repeating steps of the process until the maximum number of items that can be displayed is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2011Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Evan G.

Patent number: 8880997Abstract: A method of operating a service registry and repository based on a triplestore comprises: receiving a request to aggregate a service document; shredding elements of the service document to create logical objects within the triplestore; for each logical object, searching for all policy attachments logical objects that have a relationship with the logical object; for each located policy attachment, retrieving details of the policy and building a list of policies and associated logical objects in the repository; and returning an indication of the list of polices and associated logical objects. The list of logical objects and associated polices is used to compile a service document containing details of policies that have relationships with the selected service document logical objects. Objects that have associated polices are rendered with a hypertext policy icon next to the object and selection of the hypertext policy icon opens a new window with the policy details.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2012Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Evan G. Jardine-Skinner, James R. Orchard, Philip D. Rowley, Samuel J. Smith

Patent number: 8682843Abstract: A method and system for profile typing in batch loading document files into a service registry module in a computing environment, is provided. One implementation involves loading document files into a service registry by profile typing document files for loading into a service registry of a service oriented architecture (SOA) computing environment, including automatically identifying a profile of each document file; and batch loading the document files into the service registry based on their corresponding profile type.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2012Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert J.

Patent number: 8650479Abstract: A computer program product and an apparatus for policy attachment are described. A reference to a selected description document for policy attachment is received, wherein the selected description document includes at least one definition to describe a Web Service. A logical object of the selected description document that permit policy attachment is located. A reference to the logical object that is located for policy attachment is received. At least one policy that is operable to be associated with the logical object that is referenced is located, wherein the at least one policy defines a rule for the Web Service. A reference for a selected policy from among the at least one policy is received. The selected policy is attached to the selected description document.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2010Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Evan G.

Patent number: 8595621Abstract: A method and system for truncating character strings in a computing environment. One implementation involves receiving a list including plural character strings, truncating one or more of the character strings to generate a display list of unique character strings based on determining a truncation location within each string by: for each character string, comparing the string and corresponding Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), if the string is different from the URI, then truncating the beginning of the string, otherwise if the string matches the URI, then truncating the end of the string.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2012Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Evan G. Jardine-Skinner, David J. Seager
