20100070497 | Automated Criterion-Based Grouping and Presenting - Interrelated items in a complex item set (such as a set of components in a complex software architecture) may be difficult to present in a manner that facilitates an understanding and evaluation of the item set, due to the amount of information and the difficulty in automatically discerning the organization of the item set. A set of criteria may be utilized to form criterion groups to which items matching respective criteria may be automatically assigned. Further grouping assignments may be achieved by identifying an ungrouped item that is associated with a grouped item. Such techniques may be applied in many variations to yield a representation of the item set, and a presentation of the item set to a user, that aggregates similar items and interrelationships, thereby promoting an understanding and analysis of the structure and organization of the item set while reducing the user involvement in the generation of same. | 03-18-2010 |

20090222762 | CASCADING ITEM AND ACTION BROWSER - In one or more embodiments, a cascading item and action browser enables items and associated actions to be displayed. In at least some embodiments, items are presented in a column and can be selected by a user. Responsive to selecting a particular item or items, actions that can be performed on or relative to a selected item or items can be presented in a second adjacent column. From here, users can select one or more actions that can be performed on items presented in the first-mentioned column. Results of the action or actions being performed, at least some of which can include additional items, can then be presented in a next-adjacent column. Navigation through the items and actions displayed in their respective columns can then continue in a cascaded fashion. | 09-03-2009 |

20110252396 | GENERATING EXCEPTION-BASED COMPONENT MODELS FROM NON-EXCEPTION-BASED MODELS - Exception-based component models can be generated from non-exception-based models. For example, a non-exception-based interface contract (such as a non-exception-based interface contract in a header file) for a consumable software component can be parsed. Additionally, a wrapper for the consumable software component can be generated from the non-exception-based interface contract. The wrapper can have an exception-based interface contract implementation, and the exception-based interface contract implementation can be a mirror equivalent of the non-exception-based interface contract. If the non-exception-based interface contract hints at one or more arguments as being out argument(s) for a function in the consumable software component, then predefined heuristics can be used to select one of those argument(s) to be used by the exception-based interface contract implementation as a return value for the function. | 10-13-2011 |

20090319993 | GENERALIZED AND EXTENSIBLE SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE REPRESENTATION - Software architectures may include many types of elements, such as classes, functions, databases, queries, and users. An architecture may be the subject of many types of analysis, such as discovery of architecture features and design choices, rendering according to (e.g.) a visual layout or as a hierarchical data set, validation and testing of a chosen design, and evaluation by systems analysis tools. However, the information documenting the software architecture is often organized in a disjointed manner, such as in a set of release documentation, inline comments in source code, notes recorded in version control systems, and contact databases. Instead, the software architecture may be represented as a set of nodes of various node categories interconnected by links of different types. The representation may then be utilized in many types of analysis, such as visualization, transformation, and element analysis by complex systems analysis tools. | 12-24-2009 |
