Patent number: 10623248Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system analyzes an environment specification document that specifies a proposed configuration of a full-stack environment for a computing system and that describes infrastructure, middleware, and application elements. The system correlates the environment specification document with an environment instantiated on the computing system from the environment specification document. The system determines an impact of changes in the proposed configuration on the environment instantiated on the computing system, and configures the computing system in accordance with the proposed configuration based on the determined impact. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for analyzing an environment specification document in substantially the same manners described above.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Saurabh Agarwal, Steven P.

Patent number: 9256968Abstract: Three methods for converting sketch shapes into semantic elements by way of a semantic editor are disclosed. First, a method for conversion of a sketch shape that is part of a nested shape combination, which includes a sketch shape either hosting or nested within a semantic element. Second, a method for conversion of sketch shapes to semantic elements by storing sketch shape names and sketch shape descriptions in correlation with specific semantic elements and properties. The stored correlation is referenced for subsequent sketch shapes names or descriptions that are the same or a subset of the stored sketch shape name or description. Third, a method of conversion of one or more sketch shapes into a semantic template containing a plurality of semantic elements. Each of the one or more sketch shapes is mapped to a specific semantic element within the semantic template.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2012Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel C. Berg, Michael D. Elder, John E. Swanke

Patent number: 9235909Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2008Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Daniel C. Berg, Brad L. Blancett, Michael D. Elder, Chad M. Holliday, Narinder Makin, John E. Swanke

Patent number: 9015593Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2008Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel C. Berg, Brad L. Blancett, Michael D. Elder, Chad M. Holliday, Alexander V. Konstantinou, Narinder Makin, Timothy A. Pouyer, John E. Swanke

Patent number: 8799203Abstract: A method and system are provided for encapsulation and re-use of a model. A modeling platform creates a governance contract governing the exportation and modification of elements of the model by other models. In response to a request to import at least one element of the model into a second model, the modeling platform exports the requested at least one element by reference only if the element has a governance setting that allows for exportation. In response to a request to modify at least one imported element of the model in the second model, the modeling platform determines the governance setting for the element. Then, the modeling platform modifies the element by composing the modification in the second model only if the element has a governance setting that allows modification.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2009Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel Christopher Berg, Brad Lee Blancett, Michael Damein Elder, Chad Holliday, Alexander V.
