Abstract: Removing high level logic structure from a source program. Two or more source program fields are characterized by their respective value characteristics. A first field is mapped, with respect to the source program, to a second field having similar value characteristics as the first field. A target program is then created by replacing, in the source program, the first field with the second field and replacing each first field value with a corresponding second field value thereby preserving the value characteristics of the source program.

Abstract: Obfuscating denotational logic in a source program. A non-rule-based object oriented source program is received. The source program is transformed into a rule-based source program that includes an object model and a ruleset. Attribute domains of the rule-based source program are characterized by a structure of their values in which the structure of the values is nominal, ordered, interval, or ratio. A minimum cardinality is calculated for each domain attribute. First domain attributes are randomly mapped to second domain attributes, each second domain attribute having the same value structure and a same or higher cardinality as the corresponding first domain attribute. For each randomly mapped pair a domain range of the first domain attribute is mapped to a domain range of the second domain attribute. In the rule-based source program first domain input fields and values are replaced with the respective second domain input fields and values.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for making a decision in a service oriented architecture. A request is received for a decision service, the request comprising a plurality of user-defined parameters. A key is generated based on the relevant parameters in the plurality of user-defined parameters. The relevant parameters are parameters to be used by a rule set in making the decision. The rule set is used to make the decision. The key and the decision is stored in a cache. The decision is then returned to a source of the request.
