Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus is provided for generating and using constraints that are associated with software programs or other software entities intended for use in a specified data processing system or environment. One embodiment is directed to a method that includes the step of extracting metadata pertaining to the one or more software programs from at least one database. The extracted metadata is selectively processed to generate a set of constraints that affect the use of the one or more programs in a specified environment, wherein such processing includes transforming the extracted metadata to provide the set of constraints in a prespecified constraint language. The method further comprises detecting a proposed action of a user that is associated with the one or more software programs, and determining whether the proposed action violates any constraint in the set.

Abstract: One embodiment provides an apparatus, including: a sensor subsystem comprising i) a plurality of sensors that collect information about the apparatus' immediate environment and ii) at least one agent that fuses and interprets the collected information; a model subsystem comprising i) a plurality of models, including a model for each of the apparatus' immediate environment, sentient beings, and the apparatus itself, the models receiving the collected information and storing other information and ii) at least one agent that uses the collected information and the stored other information to deduce information about the apparatus' immediate environment; an actuator subsystem comprising a plurality of actuators that interact with the apparatus' immediate environment based upon the collected information and the information deduced by the model subsystem; and an agency subsystem comprising a plurality of agents that carry out plans according to goals identifying at least one desired outcome in relation to the apparatus' immediate environment.

Abstract: A visualization tool that provides visibility of the functionality implemented with each system used by an institution(s) at code unit granularity can be used to overcome a variety of challenges that can occur in an environment with disparate systems. The visualization tool discovers and graphically displays functions/procedures/methods (“code units”) that satisfy a set of one or more criteria, as well as attributes of the discovered code units. Furthermore, the visualization tool can automatically provide visual annotations to identify targets for asset maintenance, targets to leverage for other systems, etc.
