Falls Church, VA – GrammarApps Inc., a startup software development company in Northern Virginia, announced today the award of a U.S. patent for its HIVE/WARE program, technology that enables software developers and content providers to simultaneously and cooperatively create a single software product without the use of servers.
HIVE/WARE, short for Hyperstructured Interactive Virtual Environment, ensures cooperation among contributors working in parallel, eliminating the costly and error-prone practice of after-the-fact merging of conflicting content typical of current software. HIVE/WARE can be used not only for ordinary text documents, but also for CAD/CAM, computer gaming, automation, teaching/learning, electronic data interchange and software development.
Using HIVE/WARE, all contributors have the same document, but the parts of the document the author does not own are shown as read-only. All content contributions from any author are seen by all immediately. The program permits faster, more effective collaboration than existing approaches such as client-server architecture (e.g., databases, SOA, Google Docs), laissez faire information entry systems (Wikipedia) or tag-intrusive technologies (e.g., Semantic Web).
GrammarApps President Robert Tischer, the inventor of HIVE/WARE, holds degrees in engineering, computer science and linguistics, and did post-graduate study in education, an interdisciplinary expertise that shaped HIVE/WARE’s conceptual breakthroughs. Said Tischer, “If we assume that natural language is the best tool we humans have for cooperating, then the architecture for a cooperative technology should be the computer emulation of how natural language is created, acquired and expressed. So HIVE/WARE, instead of focusing on the transmission of traditional files and folders from one user to another, focuses on emulating semantic meaning and context.”
End users of HIVE/WARE will include both software developers and content providers. GrammarApps will license HIVE/WARE to interested users, allowing a free download with agreed-upon remuneration occurring only after the downloader has successfully developed a HIVE application and acquired paying subscribers.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded Robert Tischer Patent Number 7,124,362 on October 17, 2006.
