Abstract: A user interface is described that displays a hierarchical structure of a computer system. The hierarchical structure of a system configuration for a computer system is formed by the upward and downward connections between various levels of symbolic and real hardware components. In particular, the user interface displays a graphical model of the hierarchical tree-like structure of the configuration in a single computer window. An individual hardware component may have multiple upward connections to separate parent hardware components. An individual hardware component may be represented by more than one node within the model, yet a single data structure is maintained for each of the hardware components. In this manner, users may interact with the user interface to more easily view, comprehend, and manage configuration data for a computer system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing the configuration of a computing arrangement having a host operating system and an emulator operating system includes establishing host operating system interfaces to computing arrangement components. The computing arrangement is scanned, using the host operating system interfaces, to determine configuration information about computing arrangement components reserved for use by the emulator operating system. At least a portion of the scanned configuration information is communicated to the emulator operating system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating a multilingual web page by execution of a web application providing access to web page expressions in multiple languages. Alternative translations for the web page expressions are identified and associated with labels. The alternative translations and associated labels are grouped into one or more libraries. According to one aspect of the invention, a language-specific library file including alternative translation values of web page expressions is identified corresponding to the language of the web page. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a composite library file is used, the composite library including all alternative translations values for the web page expressions. Alternative translations for the web page expressions are accessed from library files using the associated labels. A multilingual web page is generated using the alternative translations for the expressions.
