  • Automata-theoretic approach compiler for adaptive software
    Patent number: 5946490
    Abstract: A compiler which generates object-oriented code from high level models is disclosed. The compiler uses a class graph to construct a finite intermediate automaton which is used in conjunction with an adaptive program to generate an object-oriented program in a target language. The intermediate automaton enables general case compilation of most combinations of adaptive programs and class graphs. The automaton also enables use of standard minimization techniques which reduce the size of the generated object-oriented code.
