Problems solved by technology

This is prone to bugs in the implementation and has a potential performance drawback due to the number of listeners required - O(n)
[0010] 2. Support for multi-tree link structures is not automatic - i.e., each tree must be manually moved and manipulated to avoid obstructing other trees
[0012] 4. Persistence of the structure is not intuitive, creating potential team situational issues

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The following is a description of preferred embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] The present invention provides the following solutions to the problems of the prior art. In the present invention, the tree routing pattern is considered a property of the connection itself, and router objects manage the location of bend points to facilitate the shape of the tree. A router is a class that understands how to modify connected bend points based on constraints. Constraints are often just another set of bending points that the user has defined by sketching on the modeling diagram. Using the router concept, connections keep their targets as end nodes rather than the intermediate "backbone" elements. This eliminates the need for custom handling of redirection and deletion, since the behavior is the same as for connections that are only routed using a different algorithm (ie, "slanted routing"). Additionally, since the connections are stored as a list of inflection poi...

Abstract

Computer method and apparatus for connection tree routing in visual modeling of software is disclosed. Tree routing style is represented as a property of a subject connection. A router object manages location of bendpoints of the subject connection in a connection tree. The subject connection maintains an end node as its target instead of a trunk element of the connection tree. The router object is formed of a hierarchy of routers including branch routers, tree routers and forest routers. Different routers maintain different aspects of the tree data forming display of the connection tree.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method, device and system for connection tree routing in software visual modeling. Background technique [0002] In the field of computer programming, there are various tools to aid in the design of software programs (eg, application programs). One type of such programming tool is the visual modeling type. UML is an exemplary visual modeling language (with formal syntax and semantics) for communicating models or conceptualizations. The modeling language specification specifies the sequence of modeling elements, notational representations and usage guidelines rather than activities, specification of artifacts, repository interfaces, storage, runtime behavior, and so on. [0003] Generally, at the modeling level, "questions" are asked about the needs and requirements of customers, and can be referred to as business question systems. Software designers develop "solution" software products and / or services that address the prob...
