Abstract: An embodiment includes receiving an explanation request that includes an undesired output resulting from an input case of a hierarchical rule-based decision policy specified by an acyclic dependency graph, and further includes an alternative desired output from the hierarchical rule-based decision policy. The embodiment also includes computing a network of intermediate explanations for required ranges of respective decision nodes that achieve the desired output from the hierarchical rule-based decision policy. The embodiment also includes computing a user-facing explanation that includes a range constraint for achieving the desired output by aggregating the intermediate explanations. The embodiment also includes transmitting, as a response to the explanation request, an explanation for achieving the desired output from the hierarchical rule-based decision policy based on the user-facing explanation.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product operate a touch-screen device. A first touch on a touch-screen is detected, and a character is selected therefrom. A second touch on the touch-screen is detected, and a diacritic is selected therefrom. A location of the second touch on the touch-screen is determined. A location for the diacritic is selected according to a determined location of the second touch on the touch-screen. A specific touch-screen output of a selected character and a selected diacritic is then generated, where the selected diacritic is located on the selected character according to a selected diacritic location.

Abstract: A device is provided having a touchscreen, a storage device and a processor connected to the touchscreen and the storage device. The touchscreen is arranged to display a keyboard defined by a keyboard layout and to receive an input on the keyboard. The storage device is arranged to store a specification for a restricted language, and the specification includes a grammar and vocabulary for the restricted language and includes annotations defining additional keyboard components in relation to specific elements within the grammar. The processor is arranged to define the keyboard layout, determine a specific element within the grammar referred to by a received input, and redefine the keyboard layout to include the additional keyboard components defined in the annotation for the determined specific element within the grammar.

Abstract: Aspects include identifying, for a set of decision rules, one or more decision rules missing from the set of decision rules, the one or more missing decision rules satisfying a set of limitations. A decision rule determines whether a decision is made for a case, and a limitation determines the cases for which a decision should be made. A constraint graph that represents the cases for which no rule of the set of rules makes a decision, and for which all limitations of the set of limitations are satisfied, is built. A missing case represented by the constraint graph is created, and a family description is created from the missing case. The family description is a set of cases for which no rule of the set of rules makes a decision. The one or more missing decision rules are then constructed from the family description.

Abstract: A method, device, and/or computer program product operates a touch-screen device. One or more processors detect a first moving touch on a touch-screen, where the touch-screen is able to detect a presence of the first moving touch but is not able to detect an amount of pressure being applied by the first moving touch. The processor(s) detect a simultaneous second moving touch on the touch-screen, and detect a line being drawn on the touch-screen by the first moving touch. The processor(s) calculate a calculated pressure for the first moving touch based on a distance on the touch-screen between the first moving touch and the second moving touch while the line is being drawn on the touch-screen by the first moving touch, and then adjust a thickness of the line being drawn on the touch-screen by the calculated pressure for the first moving touch.

Abstract: A method, device, and/or computer program product operates a touch-screen device. A first touch at a location on a touch-screen is detected. A second touch on the touch-screen, which occurs simultaneously with the first touch on the touch-screen, is detected. A pressure of the detected second touch is calculated and assigned to the detected first touch. A specific touch-screen output is generated according to the location and assigned calculated pressure of the detected first touch.

Abstract: Mechanisms for operating a business rule management system are provided. The mechanisms access a text file describing one or more business processes, and bindings of a plurality of text chunks within the text file to a respective plurality of elements within the business rule management system. The mechanisms detect a change in a bound text chunk in the text file and modify the respective bound element within the business rule management system according to the detected change in the bound text chunk in the text file.
