Abstract

Embodiments relate to managing and executing interpreted language code. An aspect includes a parser configured to parse controlled language code against both a language grammar and for building an execution model comprising parsed known concepts. Another aspect includes a pattern matching engine configured to match patterns in the controlled language code with a patterns for a new concept. Yet another aspect includes a concept engine configured to create a new concept from the matched pattern and controlled language code and for saving the new concept into an object model and into a language grammar so that current and future parsing errors will not occur when recognizing the new concept.

Claims

1. A system for managing and executing interpreted language code comprising:

a parser configured to;

parse controlled language code against a language grammar to build an execution model comprising parsed known concepts;

parse a statement to determine that the statement includes a term; and

determine that the term is not part of the language grammar;

a pattern matching engine configured to;

execute pattern matching to determine that a first pattern associated with the term in the statement matches a second pattern associated with one or more of the parsed known concepts; and

determine, based at least in part on the first pattern matching the second pattern, that the term represents a new concept; and

a concept engine configured to;

create the new concept; and

save the new concept into an object model and into the language grammar so that current and future parsing errors will not occur when recognizing the new concept.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein an error during parsing of the statement triggers the pattern matching engine to execute the pattern matching.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the interpreted language code comprises rules and actions for making decisions and the system is a decision management system.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the pattern matching engine is further configured to execute the pattern matching to match patterns in the controlled language code against patterns for types of new concepts.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the term is a first term, and

wherein:

the parser is further configured to;

parse the statement to determine that the statement includes a second term; and

determine that the second term is not part of the language grammar;

the pattern matching engine is further configured to determine, based at least in part on the first pattern matching the second pattern, that the second term represents a new property of the new concept; and

the concept engine is further configured to create the new property and save the new property with a corresponding action into the object model; and

the system further comprising an execution engine configured to execute the new concept and the action corresponding to the new property of the new concept.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the pattern matching engine is further configured to execute the pattern matching to match patterns in the controlled language code against patterns for types of new properties.

7. A method for managing and executing interpreted language code comprising:

parsing controlled language code against a language grammar to build an execution model comprising known concepts;

parsing a statement to determine that the statement includes a term;

determining that the term is not part of the language grammar;

execute pattern matching to determine that a first pattern associated with the term in the statement matches a second pattern associated with one or more of the parsed known concepts;

determining, based at least in part on the first pattern matching the second pattern, that the term represents a new concept;

creating the new concept; and

saving the new concept into an object model and into the language grammar so that current and future parsing errors will not occur when recognizing the new concept.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein an error during parsing of the statement triggers execution of the pattern matching.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the interpreted language code comprises rules and actions for making decisions.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the pattern matching further comprises matching patterns in the controlled language code against patterns for types of new concepts.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

parsing the statement to determine that the statement includes a second term; and

determining that the second term is not part of the language grammar;

determining, based at least in part on the first pattern matching the second pattern, that the second term represents a new property of the new concept; and

creating the new property; and

saving the new property with a corresponding action into the object model; and

executing the new concept and the action corresponding to the new property of the new concept.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the pattern matching further comprises matching patterns in the controlled language code against patterns for types of new properties.

13. A computer program product for managing and executing interpreted language code, the computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, which when executed by a computer processor, causes the computer processor to implement a method comprising:

parsing controlled language code against a language grammar to build an execution model comprising known concepts;

parsing a statement to determine that the statement includes a term;

determining that the term is not part of the language grammar;

executing pattern matching to determine that a first pattern associated with the term in the statement matches a second pattern associated with one or more of the parsed known concepts;

determine, based at least in part on the first pattern matching the second pattern, that the term represents a new concept;

creating the new concept; and

saving the new concept into an object model and into the language grammar so that current and future parsing errors will not occur when recognizing the new concept.

14. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein an error during parsing of the statement triggers execution of the pattern matching.

15. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the interpreted language code comprises rules and actions for making decisions.

16. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the pattern matching further comprises matching patterns in the controlled language code against patterns for types of new concepts.

17. The computer program product of claim 13, further comprising:

parsing the statement to determine that the statement includes a second term;

determining that the second term is not part of the language grammar;

determining, based at least in part on the first pattern matching the second pattern, that the second term represents a new property of the new concept;

creating the new property

saving the new property with a corresponding action into the object model; and

executing the new concept and the action corresponding to the new property of the new concept.

18. The computer program product of claim 17, wherein the pattern matching further comprises matching patterns in the controlled language code against patterns for types of new properties.
