PROJECT SCOPES FOR CONFIGURATION BASED COMPUTER APPLICATION PROJECTS

摘要

Methods, techniques, and systems for providing project scopes as super-ordinate instances of computer applications projects are provided. Example embodiments provide a method wherein the computer applications are developed based on configuration files of a domain specific language pertaining to calculation tasks. In one embodiment, a “Scope of Resources” class is provided at design phase time. The class defines instances of resources that can be assigned in specific projects. Each project is associated with at least one scope. A project scope is automatically generated when a project is created. The association of resources to scopes and projects is performed during execution of the configured application. In addition to providing pre-configured values and attributes for projects, a scope also provides an aggregation level that is higher than the project level. Accordingly, aggregation analysis can be performed on elements and resources of several projects in their aggregation or taking into account eventual interdependencies.
