Patent number: 10265614Abstract: A method and system for managing a challenge event from which a computer code that supports software development for a client computer is obtained. At least two participants are selected to participate in the challenge. Assets of software code are provided to the participants for assisting the participants to deliver respective submissions as outcomes of participation by the participants in the challenge event. A solution to the challenge event in a form of a computer code is received from only one participant previously chosen from the selected at least two participants as the only participant to submit the solution. The received solution is validated for quality and is accepted. In response to the validating and accepting of the received solution, the received solution is delivered to the client computer. The received solution is configured to be used by the client computer to support software development for the client computer.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eric H. Bokelberg, Blain A. Dillard, David A. Hoffman, Patrick Howard, Brian T. Paulsen, Jose A. Tano

Patent number: 10265613Abstract: A method and system for conducting a challenge event from which a computer code that supports software development for a client computer is obtained. The challenge event is communicated to at least two participants in a form of an event specification. A proposal for a solution that meets the event specification is received from each participant. Only one participant is chosen from the at least two participants, based on the proposal previously received from each participant. The solution is received in a form of a computer code from the chosen only one participant. The received solution is validated for quality and the received solution is accepted. In response to the validating and accepting of the received solution, the received solution is delivered to the client computer. The received solution is configured to be used by the client computer to support software development for the client computer.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eric H.

Patent number: 9199172Abstract: Challenge events and competition events are created and communicated to potential participants. The events are priced using a calculator that bases the price on the results of previous events and a catalog of reusable code assets using an analytics engine. One or more participants are chosen for the event by a selector subsystem. A solution is submitted by the chosen participant. The submission is evaluated, and scored in a challenge server layer. A payment application rewards the participant according to the event specifications and the scoring results.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2011Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eric H. Bokelberg, Blain A. Dillard, David A. Hoffman, Patrick D. Howard, Brian T. Paulsen, Jose A. Tano
