Patent number: 7464132Abstract: A method and apparatus for specifying and generating an alteration in a model representative of a system composed of a plurality of components, the method comprising the steps of associating configuration non-specific representations with corresponding functions operable on the model, each of the configuration non-specific representations includes representations of objects and attributes of, and/or relationships among system components, associating configuration non-specific representations of desired changes to the model for enabling alterations to the objects, attributes, relationships and/or functions of the objects, attributes and relationships subject to constraints imposed by attributes of the system, and applying the configuration non-specific represented changes to the configuration of a baseline model representation of the system to generate a new configuration non-specific model where the changes have been applied.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Danilo Florissi, Salvatore DeSimone, Schmuel Kliger, Chao-Wei Ou, Howard H. Green, Martin H. Wexler

Patent number: 7379984Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method provide autonomy control for management of a distributed computer system. An autonomy-based configuration procedure executes a plurality of configuration tasks in accordance with autonomy criteria. Autonomous configuration tasks of the configuration procedure are identified based on the autonomy criteria and are not executed unless explicit authorization is received. Autonomous configuration tasks are executed without intervention. An administrator establishes a desired degree of autonomy by entering the autonomy criteria prior to invoking the configuration procedure.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2003Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: EMC CorporationInventor: Howard H. Green

Patent number: 5708810Abstract: An image-based document processing system comprised of a plurality of hardware components arranged as a platform for processing documents using document images. The system employs a layered software architecture comprised of application programs, system services and a plurality of native operating systems provided for particular ones of the hardware components. The system services are callable by the application programs to provide an interface between the application programs and the native operating systems during operation of the system.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1991Date of Patent: January 13, 1998Assignee: Unisys CorporationInventors: Norman P. Kern, Brian K. Forbes, John G. Hemmann, James D. Rogan, Morten Wiken, Joseph M. Capo, Howard H. Green

Patent number: 4862351Abstract: A method of operating a data processing system includes the steps of: executing one high level language software program until an instruction is encountered which calls an activity; sensing whether said encountered instruction is linked to the activity which it calls by a first type or a second type depictor; executing another high level language software program for performing the called activity if the sensing step detects the first type depictor; and activating a low level language microcode program or hardware logic circuit for performing the called activity if the sensing step detects the second type depictor.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1983Date of Patent: August 29, 1989Assignee: UNISYS CorporationInventors: Howard H. Green, Christopher J. Tomlinson

Patent number: 4646231Abstract: A method of synchronizing the sequence by which a variety of unrelated activities are executed in a digital processor when the activities are randomly called by multiple callers includes the steps of: providing a single processor queue for holding respective pointers to each different kind of activity that the processor performs; entering the pointer of an activity in the processor queue the first time that the activity is called; providing respective activity queues for each different kind of activity that the processor performs; entering a pointer to the caller of an activity in the respective queue for the called activity each time the activity is called subsequent to its first call; repeatedly executing a single activity pointed to by one pointer in the processor queue until that activity is executed once for each of its callers, provided that if the single activity calls another activity then, executing the single activity only up to the point where the call occurs; and proceeding in the same fashion witType: GrantFiled: July 21, 1983Date of Patent: February 24, 1987Assignee: Burroughs CorporationInventors: Howard H. Green, Christopher J. Tomlinson

Patent number: 4564901Abstract: A method of performing a sequence of related activities in multiple digital processors includes the steps of: executing a portion of a first activity of the sequence in a first processor and then executing an INTERPROCESSOR CALL instruction to a second activity in a second processor; suspending execution of the first activity in response to the CALL and signaling the second processor that the second activity has been called by the first activity; completely executing the second activity in the second processor and then executing an INTERPROCESSOR NEXT instruction to a third activity in a third processor; signaling the third processor in response to the NEXT instruction that the third activity has been called not by the second activity but by the caller of the second activity; and completely executing the third activity in the third processor and, upon completion thereof, signaling the third activity's caller to resume execution of the suspended activity.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1983Date of Patent: January 14, 1986Assignee: Burroughs CorporationInventors: Christopher J. Tomlinson, Howard H. Green

Patent number: 4484272Abstract: A digital computer executes a first instruction set in an interleaved fashion with second and third instruction sets, the latter two of which are executed at the same time. The first, second, and third instruction sets together represent an assignment statement of a high level programming language, such as ALGOL and COBOL, and by executing the first, second, and third instruction sets as recited above, a substantial improvement in the execution time of the corresponding assignment statement is attained. A second embodiment executes the first instruction set in an interleaved fashion with only the second instruction set to also achieve an improvement in execution time of the corresponding assignment statement.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1982Date of Patent: November 20, 1984Assignee: Burroughs CorporationInventor: Howard H. Green

Patent number: 4463423Abstract: Disclosed is a method of transforming an assignment statement of a high level programming language, such as ALGOL and COBOL, into first, second, and third sets of lower level object language instructions wherein instructions of the first set are executable in an interleaved fashion with instructions of the second and third sets, the latter two of which are executable at the same time. When the instructions of the first, second, and third sets are executed in the above-recited fashion, a substantial improvement in the execution time of the corresponding assignment statement is attained.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1982Date of Patent: July 31, 1984Assignee: Burroughs CorporationInventors: Hanan Potash, Howard H.
