Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 17/27

US Classification:

715211

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for taking a visual or verbal representation of a conversational policy and translating the representation into an XML file. The XML file can then be output in one or more formats, such as code used in a policy, a Word version of the XML file, or a visual representation of the XML file.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709200000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for creating new representations of a conversational policy or conversation are shown. The conversational policy or a specific conversation can be displayed in a tabular form, which emphasizes order and timing. Representing the policy as a ‘filmstrip’ or series of interactions can make writing the conversational policy more understandable.

International Classification:

H04M 1/64

US Classification:

379088080

Abstract:

A method for discovering relationships among elements of a transactional conversation includes tagging a transcribed representation of the conversation to identify elements of the conversation and structuring the tagged conversation according to a specified format to produce a structured, tagged representation of the conversation. A set of structured, tagged conversation representations is then analyzed to discover a relationship between a first conversation element and a second conversation element. Tagging the conversation may include evaluating a portion of the conversation, assigning the portion a message type, and assigning a data value to an attribute defined by the message type. The message type may be defined by a conversation policy, wherein the conversation policy identifies conversation elements including conversation states and message types that transition the conversation among the conversation states. The conversation states include an offer pending state, an offer accept state, and an offer declined state.

US Classification:

705 35, 7071041, 707E17009

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, and products are disclosed for generating a global system configuration for a financial market data system that include: establishing, by a configuration device, a component ruleset, the component ruleset specifying rules for component characteristics of one or more components capable of being used in financial market data systems; receiving, in the configuration device from a user through a graphical user interface, component characteristics of a specific component included in a financial market data system; storing, by the configuration device, the received component characteristics of the specific component in a global system configuration for the financial market data system; determining, by the configuration device, whether the received component characteristics satisfy the component ruleset; and supplementing, by the configuration device, the received component characteristics stored in the global system configuration with additional component characteristics in dependence upon the component ruleset if the received component characteristics do not satisfy the component ruleset.
