Patent number: 10303799Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems for automatically generating a display to present different terms. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to identify a first and a second user using applications in a software as a service (SaaS) environment and store, for the first and the second user, a first term associated with the first user and a second term associated with the second user in the SaaS environment. Responsive to identifying the first term associated with the first user and the second term associated with the second user have functionally equivalent definitions, embodiments of the present invention can replace the second term associated with the second user with the first term associated with the first user and generate a display for the first term associated with the first user that replaced the second term associated with the second user.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2016Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rhonda L. Childress, Donna M. Hickey, Randy S. Johnson, John F. Kelley, Tedrick N. Northway, Bradley K. Wells

Patent number: 8140318Abstract: A method and system for generating application simulations and, more particularly, a method and system for graphical data scrubbing in application simulation image sequences. The method comprises creating a graphical representation of identified data and scrubbing instances of the identified data. The method further comprises replacing the scrubbed identified data with the graphical representation of the identified data. The system includes a computer infrastructure to perform at least the steps of the method.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2007Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeffrey W. Holland, Bradley K. Wells

Patent number: 8000952Abstract: A system and method to generate simulations of a target application or software. The method comprises recognizing a start point associated with a multiple path simulation of a target application and automatically generating simulation branches of the multiple path simulation from the recognized start point. The method and system of the invention allows a simulation developer to create “multi-path” simulations more quickly and efficiently by, for example, (i) recognizing which junctions in the simulation are starting points for multiple paths, (ii) where the multiple paths converge, and (iii) the content of the multiple paths.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2006Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Bradley K.

Patent number: 7904290Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a system and a computer program for translating an application simulation into a plurality of languages. The method comprises the steps of creating a first simulation having a sequence of frames, in a first language; adding elements in said first language to said sequence of frames; and creating a second simulation having a sequence of frames in a second language. The method comprises the further steps of exporting said elements including frame sequence number, position of each of said elements, and settings to a document; translating said elements in said document into said second language; and automatically placing the translated elements on said frames of said second simulation, using said sequence numbers, said position, and said settings.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2004Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Bradley K.
