Abstract: A model simplification tool can receive a command to simplify the presentation of a visually complex semantic model from a graphical modeling application. The visually complex semantic model can be comprised of a multitude of object representations and their associations, such that the usability of the model is impaired. An association status can be determined for each object representation, which can designate the object representation as autonomous, containment, or subordinate. The presentation of the visually complex semantic model can be consolidated based on the association status of object representations. Subordinate objects can be nested within containment objects to produce a simplified semantic model. The simplified semantic model can be rendered within the graphical modeling application.

Abstract: A system for managing advisories for complex model nodes that can include a complex model, a graphical modeling application, and an advisory manager. The complex model can be configured to graphically represent a user-defined system as multiple nodes and relationships. The graphical modeling application can be configured to execute operations upon the complex model. The graphical modeling application can store data defining the graphical characteristics of the complex model as a notation model and data defining the semantic characteristics of the complex model as a semantic model. The notation model and the semantic model can be stored as separate data entities. The advisory manager can be configured to aggregate notifications and potential resolutions for the nodes of the complex model. The notifications and potential resolutions can be visually presented within the graphical modeling application.

Abstract: A widget adjustment event can be detected for a widget that is part of a model that is presented on a canvas of a user interface. On-canvas objects proximate to the widget can be adjusted. The on-canvas objects can include other widgets. The adjustments can be performed relative to a layout position of the widget after the widget adjustment event has occurred. Additional on-canvas objects further from the widget can the adjusted on-canvas objects can then be adjusted as necessary due to new positions of the adjusted on-canvas objects.

Abstract: Computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for configuring a computing system. A system for configuring a computing system includes a mechanism for creating a model of a computing system, a validator for determining whether there are any errors in the model, and a resolver, responsive to determining that there is at least one error in the model, for determining whether there is at least one resolution for correcting the at least one error. A selector, responsive to determining that there is at least one resolution for correcting the at least one error, selects at least one resolution among the at least one resolution for correcting the at least one error to form at least one selected resolution to correct the at least one error, and applies the at least one selected resolution to the model to form a transformed model. An output outputs the transformed model to a user.
