Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim 29 words
An object oriented computing system on a computer platform, comprising: objects with semanticless, dynamically linkable inputs and outputs; and an event communication framework providing automated, pattern-based, fully distributable events.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 25 words
The object oriented computing system according to claim 1, wherein the inputs and outputs of the objects are provided via CsaConnectable and CsaRemote objects, respectively.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
The object oriented computing system according to claim 2, wherein each data structure associated with the inputs and outputs is described in a separate header file which can be used by every object to be linked.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 38 words
The object oriented computing system according to claim 2 or 3, wherein each object is a shared library which is dynamically linkable at runtime by an ASCII configuration filing names of the inputs and outputs of the objects.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 48 words
An object oriented computing system on a computing system, comprising objects having dynamically linkable inputs and outputs and internal tasks for queuing of data transferred into and out from the objects via said inputs and outputs, respectively; and an event communication framework providing automated, pattern-based, fully distributable events.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 25 words
The object oriented computing system according to claim 5, wherein the inputs and outputs of the objects are provided via CsaConnectable and CsaRemote objects, respectively.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 36 words
The object oriented computing system according to claim 6, wherein each data structure associated with the inputs and outputs is described in a separate header file which can be used by every object to be linked.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 39 words
The object oriented computing system according to claim 6 or 7, wherein each object is a shared library which is dynamically linkable at runtime by an ASCII configuration file containing names of the inputs and outputs of the objects.
Claim 9
Independent Claim 50 words
A method for designing software modules in an object oriented computing system, comprising the steps of: defining input and output events that are fully distributable; configuring dynamic linkable, semantic-free software modules by input and output connections points; providing autorouted pattern based fully distributable events based on an event communication framework.
Claim 10
