  • Patent number: 7689938
    Abstract: A calculator having a hierarchical tree view (HTV) window provides a more efficient method of displaying calculator usage history. The HTV window provides tabs to choose between multiple windows displaying usage history such that more information can be displayed quickly without using more display area than is necessary. The HTV window also provides a view of usage such that expressions listed in the HTV window can quickly be expanded or unexpanded by the user in order to see data associated with that expression. Tool tip information may be provided to the user, displayed expressions may be re-used by double-clicking or dragging and dropping operations, expressions may be grouped into user-defined folders, and symbols may be used for easy identification of expressions, results, or folders.

  • Publication number: 20070083421
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for aiding in the development of Business Process Model (BPM) design. A BPM Design is created by a design editor, and contains model data that describes the design. The design is stored in a datastore. Sets of measurements are derived from the model data that express measures such as complexity, maintainability, or productivity of the design. A measurement calculator derives sets of measurements based on model data from designs. A design planner accesses the datastore and makes use of measurements as an aid to BPM Design. A display generator receives measurements and processes them so that they may be displayed to a user and readily interpreted as an aid to BPM Design, development, or management.
