  • Predicting performance of a software project
    Patent number: 8904338
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method to predict performance of a software project includes determining, using a computer, performance estimates associated with at least one design count, the design count comprising at least one function point count, collecting actual performance data, comparing the performance estimates with the actual performance data, determining, using the computer, new performance estimates for a remainder of the software project in response to the actual performance data collected and refining a design of the software project based on the new performance estimates.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 2011
    Date of Patent: December 2, 2014
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventors: Cheryl R. Erickson, Paula C. Moss, John J. Lipasek, Roger L. Branson, Timothy N. Jahren, John C. Bodenschatz
  • Implementing a middleware component using factory patterns
    Patent number: 8752066
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method to use a middleware component includes receiving a request from an application to interact with a platform using a service and using an abstract factory pattern corresponding to the service. The abstract factory pattern is associated with a first factory pattern stored in the middleware component. The method also includes determining if the first factory pattern is associated with the platform and invoking the service with the platform using the first factory pattern if the first factory pattern is associated with the platform.

  • Succession of an asset in control in response to a level of user intervention
    Patent number: 8209208
    Abstract: In one aspect, a system includes a processor configured to determine or receive a candidate to succeed an asset in control in response to a level of user intervention selected by a user from a plurality of levels of user intervention, determine if the candidate is available and determine if the candidate is qualified. The processor is also configured to designate the candidate as successor to succeed the asset in control if the candidate is available and qualified.

  • CONTROL SUCCESSION
    Publication number: 20110054975
    Abstract: In one aspect, a system includes a processor configured to determine if a candidate to succeed an asset in control is available and determine if the candidate is qualified. The processor is also configured to designate the candidate as the successor if the candidate to succeed the asset in control is available and qualified.
