  • Request scheduler for automated software configuration
    Patent number: 7051092
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of adapting software to requirements setup at the user site. It is suited for heterogeneous system management environment to configure software automatically. In particular, it relates to automated management of resources and even more particularly to automated configuration of software programs. Basically, the invention proposes a sequence of the following steps: accessing a repository comprising the requests, reorganizing said requests in a sense that they are ordered, bundled, etc., and invoking resource managing programs, e.g., supporters for handling the service of said requests.
    Type: Grant

  • Generation of a user interface code from a corresponding declarative language program
    Patent number: 5448740
    Abstract: A method for automatically generating a computer code of a procedural language program from a corresponding program in a declarative language. The declarative language program is analyzed to obtain information about variables to be described in the procedural language program and information about the data flow to be used in the procedural language program. The information extracted from the declarative language program in this analysis is combined with code blocks from a code block file to form the procedural language program that is compiled to form the computer code. This method finds particular application in a computer system with an input/output device, a processor and a memory for developing applications programs that comprise an interface declaration and a business logic. When resident in the computer system, the code generator performs the method to produce interface specific code to produce a user interface between a user and the applications program.
