In response to assigning the second state, a determination is made whether to perform a merge of the one or more source code files and one or more of the source code files. The merge is one of a vertical merge and a horizontal merge.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Carl T.

Patent number: 9911257Abstract: Systems and methods for producing an access-controlled three-dimensional environment of a facility and its assets. A method performed by an environment management system (EMS) includes receiving, from a client system, user credentials, and validating the user credentials. The method includes retrieving user-specific data corresponding to the validated user credentials and transmitting three-dimensional (3D) environment data to the client system based on the validated user credentials and the user-specific data. The method includes receiving a request for information regarding an asset of the 3D environment data and determining additional environment data on an enterprise server system (ESS) that corresponds to the received request. The method includes transmitting, to the client system, a reference to the additional environment data on the ESS. The client system can then use the reference to retrieve the additional environment data from the ESS for display on the client system.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2012Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc.Inventors: Eitan Carmi, Rafi Blumenfeld, Tali Segall
