Orvalle T. Kirby, III has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10977207
    Abstract: Components are dynamically associated in a multi-tier application to different layers of a corresponding multi-tier application infrastructure. This includes defining, in a memory of a host computing system, a pattern that has an inventory of components of a multi-tier application. Each of the components are associated with a corresponding tier label for an n-tier architecture and the pattern is loaded into a pattern engine. The pattern engine deploys each component of the pattern to a layer of the n-tier architecture corresponding to a tier label associated with the component.

  • Patent number: 10747710
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for the dynamic association of components in a multi-tier application to different layers of a corresponding multi-tier application infrastructure. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for dynamically associating components in a multi-tier application to different layers of a corresponding multi-tier application infrastructure includes defining in memory of a host computing system a pattern that has an inventory of components of a multi-tier application. The method also includes associating each of the components with a corresponding tier label for an n-tier architecture. The method yet further includes loading the pattern into a pattern engine. Finally, the method includes deploying by the pattern engine each component of the pattern to a layer of the n-tier architecture corresponding to a tier label associated with the component.

  • Publication number: 20150186129
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to deploying a program module. The deploying includes obtaining a data dependency relationship between the program module and multiple to-be-deployed program modules, and a specific start order. In response to a request to install and configure the program module, data on which the program module depends are identified according to the data dependency relationship. In addition, the program module is installed and configured responsive to the identified data. The program module is started in response to completion of a startup of program modules required to be started before the program module as specified by the specific start order.
