Patent Document ID: 8903701
Application ID: 13446333

Base Claim:
1. A method for structuring hardware information in a computer system, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a Target Independent Model (TIM) which is independent from a hardware; structuring hardware information based on Meta Object Facility (MOF)-Hardware Component Modeling Language (HCML); and transforming the Target Independent Model (TIM) into a Target Specification Model, which depends on the hardware, using the structured hardware information and a model transformation language, wherein the step of structuring hardware information based on Meta Object Facility (MOF)-Hardware Component Modeling Language (HCML), comprises: defining a MOF-based Hardware Component Modeling Language (HCML) meta-model; and defining a model by using the meta-model of the Hardware Component Modeling Language (HCML) and representing architecture information on the model.

Claim 7:
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of defining a model by using a meta-model of the Hardware Component Modeling Language (HCML) and representing architecture information on the model, comprises: defining a model by using the Hardware Component Modeling Language (HCML) meta-model; and defining an Information layer by representing architecture information on the model by describing a mapping association of the defined model and the Hardware Component Modeling Language (HCML) meta-model in an eXtensible Markup Language (XML).
