In one embodiment, only one solution from the plurality of extensible solutions is used to interpret the multiple component descriptors, wherein the one solution is selected according to a user role of a user who is utilizing the IDE.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, data processing system and computer program product in which a plurality of software executable libraries (sub-libraries) are combined into a single software executable library. The single library comprises a plurality of register functions, each associated with a particular sub-library and each sub-library comprises one or more functions. When the library receives a request to register from a library manager it calls each of the register functions, each of which register the one or more functions of its associated sub-library with the library manager. Advantageously the library manager can subsequently interface with each sub-library as if the sub-library was a standalone library. Further a register function can be used for a library whether the library is sub-library or a standalone library, thereby reducing the effort to switch from one to the other.

Abstract: A computer-implementable method, system and computer-readable medium for providing in-context total document views for manipulating data are presented. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of: displaying an active context of a software program on a User Interface (UI); receiving a copy command for a copied element from the active context; in response to a control signal, displaying an access view of one or more secondary contexts of the software program; temporarily activating a selected context from the secondary contexts shown in the access view while continuing to display the active context on the UI; and pasting the copied element into the selected context. Preferably, in response to the copied element being pasted into the selected secondary context, the access view is automatically removed from the UI.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for arbitrarily aligning vector operands, which are transmitted in inter-thread communication buffer packets within a highly threaded Network On a Chip (NOC) processor, are presented. A set of multiplexers in a node in the NOC realigns and extracts data word aggregations from an incoming compressed inter-thread communication buffer packet. The extracted data word aggregations are used as operands by an execution unit within the node.

Abstract: Computer implemented method, system and computer program product for searching for a class in a data processing system having classloaders organized in both a classloader hierarchy and a classloader network. A computer implemented method for searching for a class in a data processing system having classloaders organized in both a classloader hierarchy and a classloader network includes receiving a request to load a class at a request receiving classloader in the classloader hierarchy. The request to load a class is forwarded to a gateway classloader in the classloader network, wherein the gateway classloader is also in the classloader hierarchy. The requested class is then searched for in the classloader network.

Abstract: An abstraction layer associates a party-focused object, a security-focused object, or both, with an abstraction object. The party-focused or security focused object has one or more properties. The properties are presented in the abstraction object defined by the mapping schema. The abstraction layer converts a set of repository objects to at least one abstraction object.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for communicating pattern data is presented. A graphical event pattern is sent to an interconnected array of intelligent sensors. When intelligent sensors in the interconnected array determine that an event has occurred, the graphical event pattern is sent to a user. Thereafter, any data that supports the graphical event pattern is sent to the user. Thus, this supporting data is transmitted according to the graphical event pattern, rather than a header address.

Abstract: Method, system, and program product for configuring and using a federated database and data structure management system with error prone data. The design of the metadata and queries includes the steps of first determining schema and metadata configurations of the data source servers. The next step is enumerating available resources, and enumerating security and confidentiality requirements. These are used for calculating an optimal federated database management system design based on the schema and metadata, the enumerated available resources, and the enumerated security and confidentiality requirements; and designing an optimal federated database management system with provision for exception detection and error handling.

Abstract: A solution for emulating a hardware device is provided. In particular, a communication device that includes a standard mode of operation and a mapping mode of operation is used together with a control program to emulate communication with the hardware device. The mapping mode of operation is used to implement communication functionality that requires hardware, while the control program emulates other communication functionality previously provided by the hardware device. As a result, a protocol, such as a channel protocol, that requires hardware functionality can be successfully emulated using both the control program and the communication device.

Abstract: A method, system and program product for audio tonal monitoring of an alarm generated by a device in a network. The method includes mapping a severity level for an alert to be generated for a device in a network to at least one audio tone having a plurality of audible characteristics, generating an alert for the device when an error associated with the device is learned and sending to a monitoring system the alert generated, the alert containing data or information. The method further includes decrypting the alert received and formatting the alert received to add additional information and forwarding the formatted alert to an alert-to-audio cue manager. Further, the method includes mapping the alert forwarded to the audio tone having the plurality of audible characteristics, and playing the audio tone, such that the audio tone played audibly alerts a client of the alert generated by the device.

Abstract: A technique for rewarding a user's interaction behavior in a computer network environment, such as the Internet. A reward is provided for following a hyperlink in a first document to a second document and then returning to the original document again. The reward can be provided in terms of (positively priced) information or payment in the form of bonus points or cash payment or access to computerized services and the like. The required information to effect the reward is stored in databases. The invention provides motivation for the user to definitely and intentionally return to the original document, rather than being lost to the owner of the original document as the user visits other web sites after visiting the second document.
