A services provision system provides information services over one or more communications networks and has a software infrastructure divided into domains. Each domain has an intelligent software agent and this community of agents sits in a computing environment represented in each domain by a DPE kernel. The community of agents co-operates to provide service and service management functionality to user. At least one of the agents is reconfigurable to change the functionality the system makes available. Reconfigurability is based on the use of a plurality of reusable software modules, the agent reconfiguring by selecting a new combination of modules. The software modules themselves incorporate rules, or policies, which determine process steps offered by the modules at run-time. These policies are external to the modules and may be loaded at run-time, allowing dynamic modification to functionality of the system. The system as a whole offers functionality associated with using services, providing them and managing them and the reconfigurability allows it to offer the different types of functionality in an efficient way. It also allows access control to functionality at different levels with particularly good security against fraudulent use.

A system of reusable software parts for designing and constructing software components, applications and entire systems by assembly. Parts for generating events, shaping, distributing and controlling flows of events and other interactions are included. Also included are parts for handling synchronization and desynchronization of events and other interactions between parts, as well as parts for handling properties, parameterizing and serializing components, applications and systems. In addition, innovative adapter parts for interfacing parts that are not designed to work together are included. The system includes a dynamic container for software parts which supports integration of dynamically changing sets of parts into statically defined structures of parts. Other reusable parts for achieving such integration are also included.

A computer system executing a method for performing reusable software application development comprises integrating a data processing system, providing a set of keywords and attributes, and declaring a set of executable specifications using the keywords and attributes, further comprising generating a program code, instantiating an object code, generating a testable functionality result, generating at least one unit test, generating an implementation documentation output, generating a performance statistics output, and generating a project metrics in the data processing system. The step of providing a set of keywords and attributes comprises generating a set of user interface forms, fields, and validation rules, generating a library of structured query language statements, generating a library of rules for generating dynamic structured query language statements, generating one of a web browser report, a file-based report, and a portable document format report, generating a library of security rules and permission statements, and generating database schemata.

A system, method for modifying insurance transaction processing software are provided. A library of code packets may be stored in a database. One or more code packets may implement at least one business requirement of an insurance organization. If the organization changes one of the business requirements or develops a new business requirement, a user may modify an insurance transaction processing program to reflect the change via a rules engine. The rules engine may be operable to generate program code assembly instructions based on user input. The assembly instructions may be used by a code assembler to form program code for an insurance transaction processing program software module. The insurance transaction processing program may be changed by adding a formed software module.

A method, apparatus and program storage device for mapping data objects, residing in multiple data sources or generated dynamically, into a single or multiple reusable software components, for integrated information access to multiple disparate data sources, residing on or generating the data dynamically on different hardware systems and possibly in different data formats. A user identifies selected data objects from multiple data sources and registers them with an information integration software facility, in order to create at least one virtual data object having at least one attribute from the selected registered data objects, and to wrap access to the at least one virtual data object into a reusable software component, as though it was a single real data object, accessible directly from software applications.

A system for and method of providing reusable software service information based on natural language queries. The system and method may include receiving, from a user system, query data in a natural language format that indicates a request for a plurality of reusable software service applications that are configured to perform a particular task, processing the query data to generate search criteria that include query values, and searching, a database, for the plurality of reusable software service applications based on the query values.
