Abstract:

Conceptual Process Redactor (CPR) is a method and system, for describing and translating conceptual descriptions of objects and their methods to OOPS object layouts and methods. CPR utilizes conceptual structures (C-structures or CPR classes), to describe information. C-structures are hierarchical information structures, and each hierarchical path is considered as a CPR data type. Thus, instead describing data in terms of OOPS data types, which are bound to storage layouts of the underlying machines, CPR describes data in terms of CPR data types, which may be regarded as concepts. The CPR translator, translates the CPR data types to their Oops equivalents by making use of Type Translation library, supplied with the CPR class description. CPR data types are unique within the class they are defined, and hence serve to identify the field as well describe a data type. Thus, a typical usage like Part quantity field of sales order header is now a data type in its own right, as well as a field. The uniqueness of the CPR data types is made use of in identifying the parameters of a method, if the context in which the method is invoked in known a priori. The CPR system provides a mechanism, called collaboration, to conceptualize process descriptions. As per collaboration, a group of objects may collaborate to accomplish a particular task (method). The collaboration serves as a context, and hence method invocations in CPR may omit the parameters, and these are identified from the collaboration. Each object acts as a client and the rest of the objects and temporary variables, act as servers. The client/server relationship is made use of by process descriptions called CPR Interface groups, which are specified for each of the collaboration objects, participating in the collaboration. In addition, to the intra object client/server relationship, objects are broadly classified as data sources or data containers, where the first form is considered as a sequential representation of data, and the latter form is considered as a random representation of data. Each data source may be grouped with zero or more data containers, and each such group is called a collaboration group. One or more collaboration groups may be specified in a table called the collaboration table, and collaboration groups with sequential group numbers are considered as a logical unit of execution. Thus, collaboration groups and the associated client/server relationship between the objects in the collaboration groups, may be used to conceptualize fairly complex method descriptions. The CPR translator will translate the process descriptions specified as CPR Interface groups for the collaboration objects into oops methods. The CPR runtime system provides necessary support to access/update the collaboration objects, and to invoke the oops methods generated during translation.

Abstract:

This invention (KBM), extends the concept called color, of my previous invention KB (ref-1), to cover process oriented concepts, and linguistic notions. Colors of KBM are now capable of depicting a very wide variety of scenarios of information, biological, and mechanical systems. KBM provides a novel framework (called DSC) for operational modeling, which can be used to compose larger process structures from small process structures. KBM also provides a novel framework for model checking, and for planning a workflow. Thus, KBM may be used to build and execute complex workflows.

Abstract:

An architecture and design called Resource control programming (RCP), for automating the development of multithreaded applications for computing machines equipped with multiple symmetrical processors and shared memory. The Rcp runtime () provides a special class of configurable software device called Rcp Gate (), for managing the inputs and outputs and user functions with a predefined signature called node functions (). Each Rcp gate manages one node function, and each node function can have one or more invocations. The inputs and outputs of the node functions are virtualized by means of virtual queues and the real queues are bound to the node function invocations, during execution. Each Rcp gate computes its efficiency during execution, which determines the efficiency at which the node function invocations are running. The Rcp Gate will schedule more node function invocations or throttle the scheduling of the node functions depending on the efficiency of the Rcp gate. Thus automatic load balancing of the node functions is provided without any prior knowledge of the load of the node functions and without computing the time taken by each of the node functions.
