Patent number: 9760340Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for enhancing quality of requirements for an application development. The method comprises retrieving expertise information of each user of groups involved in identifying requirements, domain knowledge of each user, information on number of defects associated with requirements and information of requirements for application development from sources. Then, skill score of the groups is computed using expertise information and domain knowledge of each user of corresponding groups. Solidity score of each of requirements is determined using information of requirements and predetermined threshold solidity score. Weightage score of each of requirements is computed based on information of requirements and information on number of defects. The, using skill score of groups, solidity score of each of requirements and weightage score, strength score of each of requirements is computed for enhancing quality of requirements.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Wipro LimitedInventors: Venkata Subramanian Jayaraman, Sumithra Sundaresan

Patent number: 9753712Abstract: The management of applications in a computing environment often involves a significant number of computing operations, such as acquiring the application, deploying data objects in various locations, and configuring the application with respect to the deployed device. Conventional computing environments may provide inadequate support throughout a typical application life cycle, especially for a computing environment distributed across many devices. Instead, the computing environment may be represented in a deployable object hierarchy that may be distributed to various devices. An application management service may therefore be provided to install representations of the application in the object hierarchy, and to support many other aspects of the application life cycle, such as application discovery, sharing, updating, and removal.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2008Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ori Amiga, John Macintyre, Dharma Shukla, Junfeng Zhang

Patent number: 9747189Abstract: A stream of tuples is received to be processed by processing elements operating on one or more computer processors with each processing element having one or more stream operators. A breakpoint is identified for a stream operator that is configured to be triggered when time for processing of a tuple by the first stream operator is predicted to exceed a threshold time. A tuple is received at the stream operator having a set of attributes. A predicted time to process the tuple is determined based on the set of attributes. It is determined that the predicted time exceeds the threshold time. The breakpoint is triggered, in response to determining that the predicted time exceeds the threshold time, to pause processing of the tuple by the first stream operator.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2015Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eric L.

Patent number: 9733911Abstract: System and method for creating a program. A program may be compiled, including determining one or more value transfer operations in the program. Each value transfer operation may specify a value transfer between a respective one or more source variables and a destination variable. For each of the one or more value transfer operations, the value transfer operation may be implemented, where the implementation of the value transfer operation may be executable to assign each variable of the value transfer operation to a respective memory resource, thereby mapping the variables to the memory resources, and dynamically change the mapping, including assigning the destination variable to the memory resource of a first source variable of the one or more source variables, thereby transferring the value from the first source variable to the destination variable without copying the value between the memory resources.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS CORPORATIONInventors: Hojin Kee, Tai A.

Patent number: 9710237Abstract: A system and method optimizes hardware description generated from a graphical program or model having oversampling constraints automatically. The system may include a streaming optimizer, a resource sharing optimizer, a delay balancing engine, and a global scheduler. The streaming optimizer may transform vector data paths to scalar or smaller-sized vector data paths. The resource sharing optimizer may replace multiple, functionally equivalent blocks with a single shared block. The delay balancing may insert one or more elements to correct for data path misalignment. The global scheduler may place portions of the program or model into conditional execution sections and create control logic that controls the model sample times or steps that the portions are enabled. A validation model, a report, or hardware description code that utilizes fewer hardware resources may be generated from a modified version of the model that is created.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventor: Girish Venkataramani

Patent number: 9710243Abstract: A grammar of a first programming language is represented in member fields and data types of object-oriented classes of a second programming language as an empty program semantic tree. A parser builds a new program semantic tree that represents source code written in the first programming language. The new program semantic tree is built by a reflection technique in which the member fields and data types of the object-oriented classes of the second programming language as set out in the empty program semantic tree are modified during the building of the new program semantic tree.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2013Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Eagle Legacy Modernization, LLCInventors: Steven Arthur O'Hara, Jeffrey Allen Wilkinson

Patent number: 9710357Abstract: A debugger creates a lightweight process snapshot of a debuggee target process and performs in-process or function evaluation (func-eval) inspection against the copy. This allows most state in the debuggee process to stay intact because changes made by the func-eval are local to the process snapshot. Debugger operations that are too destructive to the original debuggee process can be performed on the process snapshot without threatening the real process. Process snapshots allow the debugger to perform a func-eval while isolating the debuggee process and not losing the actual state of the original debuggee process. A new process snapshot of the debuggee process is created when the current snapshot is corrupt due to a func-eval side effect. The debugger may also use a lightweight machine snapshot of the host debuggee machine and perform func-evals against that machine snapshot to further isolate kernel and other side effects.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2012Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jackson Davis, Tae Hyung Kim
