Abstract: A method and a system for automatic generation of application architecture models and tracking of architecture drift are provided. The present solution provides a framework that allows a centralized architecture team to create a base Domain Specific Language (base-DSL) for any software application, where this base-DSL includes basic components that may be required to generate a model for any application. The framework of the present disclosure also provides a means to enrich base-DSLs for any specific application to generate application-specific DSL. Further, the framework provides a visual interface for product architects to create a to-be or progressive state architecture using the application-specific DSL. The framework is also able to generate a current state architecture of an application using application metadata and application-specific DSL. The framework is also able to detect architecture drifts between current and to-be or progressive architecture states of an application.

Abstract: A concept for facilitating a user interface for interacting with interventional medical devices depicted in an image. The positions of one or more features of at least one interventional medical device are identified. A size and shape of an interactive zone is determined for each feature, where an interactive zone (when provided on a display of a user interface) facilitates interaction with the corresponding feature and/or interventional medical device. The size of the interactive zone is chosen to be larger than the size of the feature. A position for the interactive zone is selected based on the position/position of the corresponding feature in the image. Zone information is then output to define the size, shape and position of the interactive zones with respect to the image.
