    Abstract: A time-shared computer system is disclosed in which computer software programs, either application programs or operating system programs, can be retrofitted with new programs which are totally incompatible with the old versions, all without interrupting service provided by the software programs. In a real time software system such as one providing telephone service, the processor (or processors in a multiprocessor system) is divided into two logical partitions. The old version of the software runs in one partition while the new version is loaded into and started up in the other partition. When the new version is verified to be properly operating, the data traffic is transferred from the old version parition to the new version partition in two steps. First the input data is switched to the new verison. When the transactions in progress in the old version are all completed, the output data is switched from the old version to the new version.This software retrofitting on the fly is disclosed in connection with a telephone transaction processing system used to support special telephone services such as dial 800 calls and credit card calls.

    Abstract: A data table for organizing data used by call processing procedures in a telephone service execution environment of a telecommunication network. The data table includes a table header for identifying the data table. Data in the table is organized in one or more rows corresponding to one or more columns. The data table further includes a table specification for defining the one or more columns of the data table. Data tables can be created in a telephone service creation environment in the telecommunication network and can be accessed by one or more call processing records for executing telephone services during telephone service execution. The call processing records comprise a plurality of nodes and branches, each node representing a particular call processing procedure. The data tables are stored in a data base in the telephone service creation environment. Table nodes permit a call processing record to access a table and return information indicating whether a specified value exists in the data table or for retrieving a particular value from the table. The returned information of values are then used to complete the call processing procedure corresponding to the particular node or other nodes in the call processing record during execution of the call processing record.

    Abstract: In a telecommunication network, a method of creating, in response to inputs from an operator of a record creation system, a template for the creation of call processing services. Each call processing service is represented by a call processing record containing logically related call processing nodes and branches. In the method, a processor in the record creation system displays a selected call processing record to the operator. The operator then identifies which nodes in the call processing record will be made customizable. A customizable node is a node for which subsequent template users can specify predetermined expressions. After the node is selected, the processor displays to the operator all the expressions of the selected node and prompts the operator to identify which of the expressions will be customizable. The operator then identifies which expressions of the selected node will be customizable. The processor then enables the selected call processing record and the designation of customizable node expressions for the select node as a service template.

    Abstract: A data base management system is disclosed in which data entities are records representing nodes in an entity-relationship directed graph. The body of each node represents one of the physical entities to be utilized while the edges of each node represent relationships between that physical entity and other physical entities. Some of the edges are hyperedges to permit the identification of simultaneous relationships with more than one other node. An application of this system to the assignment of telephone outside plant equipment to telephone subscribers is also described.
