Abstract: Embodiments of the innovation relate to, in a development device, a method of generating a backend application for execution by a server device. The method comprises receiving, by the development device, ontology information associated with an enterprise domain, the ontology information including syntactic information and semantic information; applying, by the development device, a metaprogramming engine to the ontology information to generate the backend application; and forwarding, by the development device, the backend application to the server device.

Abstract: The invention concerns a multiplexing unit, a system and a method for communication in a computer network between a plurality of client machines supporting client programmes and one or several servers supporting application programmes, although said client and application programmes may be incompatible. The invention uses input and output management modules assigned to the client machines and to the servers. It performs conversion operations and routing operations, which are carried out so as to optimise the operation of the servers. It ensures communication between applications having incompatible formats or transfer protocols and this by means of a flexible technique with characteristics of modularity and upgradability. The invention is applicable in particular to computerised reservation systems for example in the field of travels and transport.

Abstract: A customer-centric travel information management system includes one user record dedicated to each travel user, a user information storage area configured to store information release authorizations, personal request information, information input into the user information storage area for transmission to the user, and a user identification; a user interface; a customer profiles database; and plural travel segment records, each travel segment record including travel segment data generated by a specific travel provider, a trigger generating provider notice information upon changes in the travel segment data, and a user notification information section generating user notification information upon changes in the travel segment data by the specific travel provider.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for processing and accessing data in a computerized reservation system, and a computerized system for its implementation. The invention is characterized in that it consists: in creating at least a cache (9a,9b) in the server protion, said chache (9a,9b) containing reservation, data; addiing data to the cache (9a, 9b) by transfer from at least an inventory setup (1); creating an interfacing application (18) between the cache (9a, 9b) and the client application(s) so that the user can address requests and recieve data in response. The invention is applicable to computerized reservation systems in particular in the field of transport, travel, and accomidation.
