AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables flexible and dynamic representation of computing architectures, facilitating understanding by both technical and non-technical individuals, and supporting efficient, maintainable, and scalable computing systems.

Problems solved by technology

Computing systems, which may comprise, for example, an application or a plurality of applications, have become increasingly complex.
Also, each computing system itself often becomes more complex as it evolves through revision releases and the like.
As such, modeling a computing architecture has become more challenging.
Due to these many complexities and the highly integrated nature of computing, modeling complex computing architectures on an enterprise level is often very difficult.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]FIG. 1 is a diagram of a generic computer system with which the invention may be employed. As shown in FIG. 1, computing device 120 includes processor 122, system memory 124, and system bus 126 that couples various system components including system memory 124 to processor 122. System memory 124 may include read-only memory (ROM) and / or random access memory (RAM). Computing device 120 may further include hard-drive 128, which provides storage for computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, data, and the like. A user (not shown) may enter commands and information into the computing device 120 through input devices such as a keyboard 140 and / or a mouse 142. A display device 144, such as a monitor, a flat panel display, or the like is also connected to the computing device 120 for output. Display device 144 includes touch screen 145. Display device 144 may also include other pointing devices such as a light pen, a grid of light beams, or the like for inputti...

Abstract

A method for modeling a computing architecture is provided. Computing layers of the computing architecture are identified, wherein each computing layer represents a functional layer of the computing architecture. Computing systems of the computing system are identified. Computing layers implemented by the computing system are identified. Stacked bars are displayed to represent the computing layers. Second bars orthogonal to the stacked bars are displayed to represent the computing systems, wherein each second bar extends through a portion of the stacked bars an amount corresponding to the computing layers implemented by the computing system represented by the second bar.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention generally relates to the field of modeling computing architectures. More particularly, the invention relates to graphically modeling a computing architecture that comprises multiple computing systems. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Computing systems, which may comprise, for example, an application or a plurality of applications, have become increasingly complex. Indeed, the sheer number of computing systems has increased dramatically in recent years. Also, each computing system itself often becomes more complex as it evolves through revision releases and the like. Moreover, computing systems typically interconnect to an increasing number of other computing systems as such systems are integrated into a larger computing architecture. [0003] Further, more and more computing systems are integrated into computing architectures. As such, modeling a computing architecture has become more challenging. For example, an enterprise may have a mult...
