20110224939INTEGRATED TOOL FOR PERSISTING DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT TEST SCENARIO INFORMATION - Architecture includes an integrated tool that allows a tester to automatically persist test plan information in association with related content while the tester is interacting with that content in an IDE. The tool further enables the tester to formally associate actions/expectations with specific items of content. In previous solutions, references to existing content are often lost due to inexact or missing descriptions. Formal associations allow for reuse of valuable content and avoid unnecessary recreation. The tool is integrated with the IDE, and thus, does not necessitate that the tester manually type or write descriptions of intent and expectations. This reduces the test plan cost significantly. The tool also persists information in a formal, self-describing format that enables easy consumption by either human testers or secondary software applications (e.g., for the purposes of identifying plans, performing associated actions and verifying expected behavior).09-15-2011

20110142019Seamless Mobility in Wireless Networks - AP's associated with a communication network and any wireless devices desiring contact, operated according to a protocol in which each wireless device selects AP's with which to communicate. A system coordinator causes the AP's to operate so as to guide each wireless device to an AP selected by the system coordinator. This has the effect that, notwithstanding that the protocol involves having the wireless device make the selection of AP, functionally, the AP's make the selection for it. In a 1st technique, multiple AP's share an identifier, with the system coordinator directing one particular AP to respond to the wireless device, thus appearing to wireless devices as a “personal cell”. In a 2nd technique, AP's each maintain identifiers substantially unique to each wireless device, with the system coordinator directing only one particular AP to maintain any particular wireless device's identifier, thus appearing to wireless devices as a “personal AP”.06-16-2011

20110131024MODELING COMPLEX HIEARCHICAL SYSTEMS ACROSS SPACE AND TIME - A system model of a real-world system includes a multi-level hierarchy of Capabilities, where each Capability includes a Verb specifying an action and an Object acted on by the Verb. The system model also contains one or more multi-level Performer hierarchies, where each Performer hierarchy includes a plurality of Performers each having an associated lifecycle and at least one associated Capability provided or required by the Performer. In addition, a multi-level Location hierarchy associates one of a plurality of Locations with each Performer. A plurality of Capability Instances define requirement and provision of Capabilities by Performers in the one or more multi-level Performer hierarchies. In response to a query specifying a Location and a time, a view of the system model for the specified Location and time is output.06-02-2011
