Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system for reconfiguring a node of a complex system health monitoring system without recompiling and relinking executable code is provided. The system includes a software module containing previously compiled instructions to perform one of a plurality of different standardized functions and a computing node comprising a processor and plurality of software objects, the processor configured to execute the previously compiled instructions. The system further includes a configuration file configured to provide static and dynamic data to the software module, the configuration file comprising a dynamic data store (DDS), a static data store (SDS) and a binary code database (BCD). The BCD comprises a library of externally compiled executable algorithms that are callable by the software module. The BCD being configured with database identification and retrieval data structures associated with library of externally compiled executable algorithms.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system for reconfiguring a node of a complex system health monitoring system without recompiling and relinking executable code, comprising: a non-modifiable software module containing previously compiled instructions to perform one of a plurality of different standardized functions, the non-modifiable software module excluding recompilation, a dynamic linking library, and re-linking the software module at a run time; a computing node comprising a process…
