Generating a software complex using superordinate design input
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- defining a software complex that will include a group of software members that share information inherent to the software complex and act on that information, wherein the software members include at least an executable and a software asset, the defining comprising;
receiving selections of design aspects as superordinate design inputs for the software complex, wherein a superordinate design input is a codification of a design aspect in a software complex architectural language; and
storing the superordinate design inputs in a source data store;
compiling the superordinate design inputs in the source data store using a software complex architectural language compiler;
generating an in-memory model of the software complex as an output of the compilation, including identifying and configuring, based on the superordinate design inputs, a set of software implements that each specify an implementation of one or more software features of the software complex in one or more types of software members of the software complex;
selecting, based on the superordinate design inputs and the in-memory model, a plurality of software member emitters, each software member emitter being configured to emit a software member of a defined type, wherein each type is different from each other type;
for each selected software member emitter, generating a software member of the defined type of the selected software member emitter,wherein the generated software member is subject to the superordinate design inputs compiled using the software complex design language compiler, and wherein at least one of the selected software member emitters generates a software executable that is executable on a particular software platform; and
wherein at least two software members are subject to at least a same superordinate design input.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating software complexes. In one aspect, a method includes defining a software complex that is to include a group of software members that share information inherent to the software complex and act on that information. The defining includes receiving selections of design aspects as superordinate design inputs for the software complex and storing the superordinate design inputs in a source data store. The superordinate design inputs are compiled in the source data store using a software complex architectural language compiler. An in-memory model of the software complex is generated as an output of the compilation. Software member emitters are selected. For each selected software member emitter, a software member of the defined type of the selected software member emitter is generated.
