  • Patent number: 9565191
    Abstract: A method of implementing requirements applicable to systems of an enterprise includes modeling the requirements as contents of policies applicable to target domains of the enterprise. The policy contents are integrated into a policy model. The policy model is adapted to obtain representations of domain-specific requirements corresponding to target systems in the target domains. The representations are integrated with the corresponding target systems to implement the domain-specific requirements.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8271418
    Abstract: A computer-performed method of examining policies for a target system of an enterprise system domain. The policies are represented as policy rules, each rule including a condition having binary operator expression(s), each expression referring to one or more policy attributes. For a pair of expressions, the computer(s) obtain sets of sample values sufficient to represent all values assumable by the policy attribute(s) referred to in the pair. The sample values are combined in a mixed-radix enumeration in which each attribute is represented in a corresponding position of each sample value combination and of the enumeration. Using the enumeration, the computer(s) evaluate each expression of the pair relative to each of the sample value combinations to obtain a truth table. Based on the truth table, a relationship between the pair is detected and the user may be notified as to an anomaly in the rules.
