Abstract: Unified Modeling Language is a general purpose modelling language used in the field of software development to easily visualize the systems by specifying the static and dynamic aspects of the system. The conventional way of implementing design models is by writing programs in high level languages like java by a programmer. Our method automatically generates platform independent executable code in the form of bytecode without a programmer and it can be executed on any platform. The design models comprising of class and activity diagrams after parsing and syntax verification are converted to an autobytecode model. The autobytecode model is further processed to determine the execution sequence comprising of loops, sequential and conditional statements. The execution sequence, the actions and attributes associated with the nodes in the execution sequence are analyzed to automatically generate complete bytecode directly from the autobytecode model created from design models.

Abstract: A graph processing system, method and apparatus classifies graphs based on a linearly computable set of features defined as a feature vector adapted for comparison with the feature vectors of other graphs. The features result from graph statistics (“gragnostics”) computable from the edges and vertices of a set of graphs. Graphs are classified based on a multidimensional distance of the resulting feature vectors, and similar graphs are classified according to a distance, or nearest neighbor, of the feature vector corresponding to each graph. Projection of the feature vector onto two dimensions allows visualization of the classification, as similar graphs appear as clusters or groups separated by a relatively shorter distance. Different types or classifications of graphs also appear as other, more distant, clusters. An initial training set defines the classification types, and sampled graphs are evaluated and classified based on the feature vector and nearest neighbors in the training set.

Abstract: A technique for inserting form fields into forms displays a cursor superimposed over a background image of a form and dynamically generates candidate shapes of a form field to be inserted. New candidate shapes are generated automatically, based on pixel content of the form under a cursor, as a user moves the cursor over different regions of the form. In response to the user manually selecting one of the candidate shapes, the technique establishes the position, size, and shape of the form field based on the position, size, and shape of the selected candidate shape. The improved technique thus proceeds semi-automatically, generating candidate shapes automatically but based on manual, user-directed cursor positioning and manual selections.
