Abstract:

A method of providing an application development environment that produces an application framework in a development language-neutral manner which is later adapted into a particular programming language based upon the identity of a requesting device and the requesting user is disclosed. Developers create an object-oriented framework describing the logical structure of an application without being restricted to a particular programming language. Requests from a requesting device for an application appropriate rendering are then processed by utilizing the framework as the basis for the application appropriate rendering written in a format appropriate for the requesting device. The application development environment of the present invention also automatically adapts the presentation for the requesting device according to the type of object being displayed, the role of the user who requests the application appropriate rendering, the type of application, the end user device, and the data volume. The storing of the application framework in a development language-neutral manner enables a high level of re-use of the application logic in adapting to programming requirements.

Abstract:

A generic instrumentation framework comprises two primary systems: an instrumentation generation system, and a runtime system. The instrumentation generation system creates an instrumentation generator that is specific to the system or subsystem to be instrumented. Preferably, the instrumentation generator is created by an instrumentation generation engine, which receives as input a system descriptor. The system descriptor is a set of metadata that comprise an interface specification. The instrumentation generation engine reads the system descriptor, identifies the target system, and selects an appropriate instrumentation generator. Using the system descriptor, the instrumentation generator then creates an instrumentation “package” comprising the actual instrumentation code itself (an executable) together with an instrumentation descriptor, which describes a set of one or more instrumentation points in the target system. The target system is then available to be instrumented with the instrumentation code. At an appropriate time, such as system start up, a telemetry stream adapter of the runtime system loads in and initiates the instrumentation code. A telemetry stream reader of the runtime system reads telemetry stream data provided by the telemetry stream adapter. The telemetry is then made available to an analysis module, which also receives the instrumentation descriptor to facilitate a forensic analysis of the telemetry.
