  • Patent number: 11514895
    Abstract: A method and system are provided. The method includes separating a predicate that specifies a set of events into a temporal part and a non-temporal part. The method further includes comparing the temporal part of the predicate against a predicate of a known window type. The method also includes determining whether the temporal part of the predicate matches the predicate of the known window type. The method additionally includes replacing (i) the non-temporal part of the predicate by a filter, and (ii) the temporal part of the predicate by an instance of the known window type, responsive to the temporal part of the temporal predicate matching the predicate of the known window type. The instance is parameterized with substitutions used to match the temporal part of the predicate to the predicate of the known window type.

  • Patent number: 9652522
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product names an object comprising a set of properties. One or more processors define a property as a name of the object, and then generate a name for the object with a naming scheme referring to properties of the object and connected objects. The processors store the generated name as part of the defined property. In response to the processors detecting changes in the referred properties and connected objects, the stored name is automatically updated according to the naming scheme.
