摘要： A system is provided to allow for automatic configuration of print engine scheduling software in accordance with descriptions of print engine modules. Each print engine module contains a description of itself in a form of module capabilities. When a print engine is formed from such modules, the system composes module capabilities to capabilities of a complete print engine. More particularly, inputs and outputs of capabilities are unified and constraints on their attributes are propagated. This enables derivation of potential outputs of the print engine. The resultant print engine capabilities are directly usable to configure scheduling software. Optionally, the resulting print engine capabilities may be compiled further.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种系统，以便根据打印引擎模块的描述来允许自动配置打印引擎调度软件。 每个打印引擎模块都以模块功能的形式包含自己的描述。 当从这样的模块形成打印引擎时，系统将模块功能组合成完整的打印引擎的能力。 更具体地说，功能的输入和输出是统一的，并且它们的属性的约束被传播。 这样可以推导出打印引擎的潜在输出。 所得的打印引擎功能可直接用于配置调度软件。 可选地，可以进一步编译所得到的打印引擎功能。

摘要： A method and apparatus is provided for compositional modeling of print engines. The system automatically derives a complete list of all of the capabilities of a described print engine. The method includes providing compositional models of components forming the print engine. The models describe local capabilities of each component including part transformation abilities as well as timing constraints. Using the component models, configurations are created by connecting the components. Once the component models are connected, the capabilities of the configurations are directly derived. A capability is a part that can be produced by the configuration, together with the itinerary required to produce the part, the inputs from which the output is assembled, and the timing constraints to be observed when executing the itinerary. Capabilities are the fundamental connection between the description of a job to be printed by a print engine and the print engine scheduling and control software. Capabilities are themselves compositional and are used to automatically derive scheduling and control software for customerconfigured print engines.
