Adaptive window system for dynamically modeling information systems

Claim 1

A computer system for establishing an adaptive window system in a dynamic model of information systems of organizations comprising: A. one or more modeler subsystems including at least one modeler means for performing a selected operation on one or more models associated with said modeler subsystems, said operation selected from the group consisting of creating, analyzing, and modifying one or more of said models, each of said models having design data associated therewith, said design data being representative of elements including any of attribute; attribute method; entity and attribute; entity method; entity and relationship; entity and entity method; entity, relationship and partnership set; process; view; process local store; information store; information flow; message; source; and destination; B. at least one of said modeler subsystems including at least one Logic Modeler Subsystem (LMS), including process Description Language (PDL) means for defining logical operations on said design data, said logical operations being defined by PDL design data, said PDL design data corresponding to any one or more of insert, retrieve, update, delete, send, receive, signal, when, and reference to an entity method; C. means for establishing an option modeler, having selectively operative Option Modeler (OM) means, coupled to said modeler subsystems, and for creating, analyzing, and modifying syntactically permitted options associated with said PDL design data, said OM means including: (i) means for storing predetermined option criteria, each of said predetermined option criteria being representative of at least one from the group consisting of semantic rules, logical relationships, expert rules, and heuristics; (ii) means for comparing said PDL design data with said predetermined option criteria; and (iii) means for identifying correlated PDL design data, said correlated PDL design data being ones of said PDL design data which substantially match one of said predetermined criteria, said correlated PDL design data being representative of said syntactically permitted options; D. window subsystem, coupled to said OM means, said window subsystem including means for establishing an options window having operator selectable option objects representative of said syntactically permitted options, whereby said syntactically permitted options are only ones of said PDL design data syntactically permitted at the time of establishment of said options window; and E. operator means coupled to said window subsystem, and including means for allowing said operator to select any of said permitted options by externally applying signals to said option modelers and wherein selection of at least one of said option objects affects said PDL design data. wherein said modeler subsystems further comprise at least one information modeler subsystem (IMS) including Information Model (IM) means for creating, analyzing and modifying an entity relationship information model, said information model having IM design data representative of elements including any of attribute, entity method, attribute method, partnership set, and partnership set method, said attribute being independent of an entity.
