Patent number: 9009649Abstract: A code search tool greatly reduces time, cost, and other resource expenditures associated with implementing a new application. The tool is a search, navigation and visualization tool that accepts high-level processing concepts as inputs to identify, rank, and return the code of relevant existing applications. A software developer may use the relevant applications to rapidly build prototypes, identify requirements, and develop new applications. The tool provides an efficient way to improve the reuse of application logic to realize the high-level processing concepts, and more efficiently deliver proof of concept.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2007Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Mark Grechanik, Katharina Andrea Probst, Kevin Michael Conroy

Patent number: 8656342Abstract: A composer of integrated systems solves the technical problem of enabling graphical user interface applications (GAPs) to interoperate (e.g., exchange information) with each other and web services over the Internet, effectively and non-invasively. The system provides a user friendly visualization mechanism that interacts with an accessibility layer to enable organizations to economically and easily define web service driven information exchange between GAPs, by performing point-and-click, drag-and-drop operations on GAPs. The system allows users to rapidly create integrated systems composing GAPs enabled to interoperate with other GAPs and web services, so that organizations extend the life-cycle use of their legacy GAPs in business operations.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2007Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Mark Grechanik, Kevin Michael Conroy, Kishore S. Swaminathan, Edy S. Liongosari

Patent number: 8122444Abstract: A legacy application decommissioner provides developers a tool to decommission and migrate legacy application functionality in a phased approach. The decommissioner identifies core web services that invoke legacy applications through an accessibility layer that monitors operator interaction with the application. The decommissioner then defines, creates, and deploys a web service that provides control over the operation of the legacy application. As a result, the functionality of the legacy application may be migrated to a new platform and architecture and the legacy application decommissioned so that organizations may continue to realize a return on their significant investment in the creation of the legacy application.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2007Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Mark Grechanik, Kevin Michael Conroy

Publication number: 20110231825Abstract: A system for application reference testing (SMART) solves the technical problem of generating test data and test cases from graphical user interface applications (GAPs) to test web services, effectively and non-invasively. SMART allows organizations to easily and promptly identify and resolve software bugs, ensure higher quality software and development productivity, complete software projects faster, deliver software products to market quicker, and improve the return on investment for software development projects. SMART provides a user friendly visualization mechanism that interacts with an accessibility layer to enable organizations to economically and easily define user interactions with GAPs, by performing point-and-click, drag-and-drop operations on the GAPs, and generate reusable test data and test cases for web services.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2011Publication date: September 22, 2011Applicant: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Mark Grechanik, Kevin Michael Conroy, Matthew Hellige, Edy S.

Patent number: 7971183Abstract: A design tool assists with the conversion of legacy applications to web services. The design tool provides a flexible and visual design environment through which web services are defined, created, and deployed for controlling a legacy application. As a result, the legacy applications may be made accessible through web services to remote callers consonant with the wide spread adoption of web services. An organization may thereby extend the life-cycle of their legacy applications and continue to realize the benefit of substantial investment in the applications.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2007Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Mark Grechanik, Kevin Michael Conroy, Kishore S. Swaminathan, Edy S. Liongosari
