The present invention relates to the field of information processing involving digital computers, embedded devices and more particularly, to a method and system for defining hierarchical data model and related computation and instructions rules using electronic spreadsheet like interface. The system and method of the invention are directed to user friendly, fast, development of multi-user, workflow enabled applications using spreadsheet as a tool for application modeling.

A method of transferring data from a sending system to a receiving system in a network is disclosed. The sending system compresses the data according to a selected compression technique without regard to availability of a corresponding decompression technique at the receiving system. The sending system sends the compressed data and an identifier identifying the selected compression technique in a message to the receiving system. Upon reception of the message, the receiving system determines… Show more

A method of transferring data from a sending system to a receiving system in a network is disclosed. The sending system compresses the data according to a selected compression technique without regard to availability of a corresponding decompression technique at the receiving system. The sending system sends the compressed data and an identifier identifying the selected compression technique in a message to the receiving system. Upon reception of the message, the receiving system determines, using the identifier, if the corresponding decompression technique is available at the receiving system. If it is determined that the decompression technique is not available, the receiving system acquires automatically the decompression technique from outside of the receiving system. The receiving system decompresses the compressed data using either the locally available or the acquired decompression technique. The sending system and a receiving system that performs the above method is also disclosed. Show less

A procedural computation engine is provided for generating and serving executable high-level code. The engine includes a Graphical User Interface for creating procedural computation schemas; a parser for interpreting output from the Graphical User Interface; a compilation component for hierarchal node-structuring of data; and a server component for providing access to generated information. A programmer operating through the Graphical User Interface pre-creates at least one procedural… Show more

A procedural computation engine is provided for generating and serving executable high-level code. The engine includes a Graphical User Interface for creating procedural computation schemas; a parser for interpreting output from the Graphical User Interface; a compilation component for hierarchal node-structuring of data; and a server component for providing access to generated information. A programmer operating through the Graphical User Interface pre-creates at least one procedural computation schema including the algorithmic function or functions and input needed to produce computational results, the data of the schema output as a markup file interpreted by the parser and in cooperation with the compilation component generates an executable computation model accessible and executable through the server component. In one embodiment the engine is used to provide complex rating information. Show less
