  • Sizer for interactive computer system configuration
    Patent number: 6263382
    Abstract: A computer system is implemented according to the invention when an computer process interactively allows a user to configure a computer system. The device according to the present invention abstracts functionality common to all application specific computer configuration problems and locates it in a single framework. In this way, multiple application specific configuration processes can be developed easily without duplicating the work of creating common features.

    Assignee: Compaq Computer Corporation
    Inventors: Charles A. Bartlett, Manoj J. Varghese, Christoph Schmitz, Keith L. Kelley
  • Method of developing physical requirements for computer configuration
    Patent number: 6253318
    Abstract: A method implemented according to the invention relates to a method including the conversion between of logical requirements and physical requirements, including such devices as computer drive arrays, controller/storage box combinations, and conversion of virtual disk drive heights to physical disk drive heights. The methods of the invention can be applied to the configuration of most hierarchical system.
