Abstract
Abstract The system allows a developer to graphically create an operation flow diagram of interconnected objects. The system produces an associated operation object script. A run-time engine selects precompiled code for performing each operation at the time the flow diagram is processed when the application is executed. The application's objects can exist and run on two or more computers which are connected via a network.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
28 words
An application development system, comprising: means for creating an operation list using flow diagrams of objects; and means for executing code specified by the operations of the list.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
20 words
A system as recited in claim 1, wherein the code preexists and said means for executing executes the preexisting code.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A system as recited in claim 1 or 2, wherein said means for creating allows a user to select graphical objects representing operations.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
A system as recited in claim 3, wherein the graphical objects are displayed on a pallet.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
23 words
A system as recited in any of the preceding claims. wherein said means for executing threads together execution of code using the list.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
A distributed object platform, comprising: a first computer including a first process and first data of a processing object designatable by a user; and a second computer connected to said first computer and including a second process and second data of the processing object designatable by a user.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
An application development process, comprising: selecting graphical objects representing operations to be performed; placing the objects within a flow diagram of an application to be performed; generating a list of the operations of the application; and executing precompiled code responsive to the list when the application is executed.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
76 words
A distributed object method, comprising: performing operations of a processing object in and on data of a first computer; communicating a data request of the processing object by the first computer to a second computer; performing operations of the processing object in and on data of the first computer responsive to the request and forwarding response data to the first computer; and performing operations of the processing object in the first computer on the response data.
