Abstract

A device configured to receive an impact report request that comprises a program identifier for a first program. The device is further configured to determine a location within a spatial domain for the first program. The device is further configured to determine a first distance threshold value that corresponds with a first distance away from the location of the first program within the spatial domain. The device is further configured to determine distances between the location of the first program and locations of other programs from the plurality of programs and to identify one or more programs from the plurality of programs that are less than the first distance threshold value. The device is further configured to generate an impact report that identifies the one or more programs from the plurality of programs that are less than the first distance threshold value and to output the generated impact report.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A software management device, comprising:

a memory operable to store relationship information that comprises a mapping for a plurality of programs to a spatial domain, wherein:
the relationship information comprises program identifiers for the plurality of programs and locations within the spatial domain corresponding with each of the program identifiers;
and
a distance between a pair of programs in the spatial domain corresponds with a level of impact between the pair of programs;
and
a processor operably coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive an impact report request that comprises a program identifier for a first program;
identify the first program within the relationship information based on the program identifier;
determine a location within the spatial domain for the first program;
determine a first distance threshold value, wherein the first distance threshold value corresponds with a first distance away from the location of the first program within the spatial domain;
determine distances between the location of the first program and locations of other programs from the plurality of programs;
compare the determined distances to the first distance threshold value;
identify one or more programs from the plurality of programs that are less than the first distance threshold value;
generate an impact report that identifies the one or more programs from the plurality of programs that are less than the first distance threshold value;
and
output the generated impact report.
