Appeal No. 1996-3076
Application 08/118,773
necessary semantic, structural and static type information
about the distributed system loaded on the network. . . .
With the aid of these tables of information the monitoring
software is able to interpret the incoming events and
display useful information about distribution units,
connections, process objects, measurement data, etc." It
seems that the "tables of information" in Dieter broadly
correspond to the "blocks of information relating to the
execution of the observed program." Since information in
computers is accessed by its address, we think there must
inherently be an "address table" to access the "tables of
information" in Dieter.
Appellant further argues, however, that "the Examiner
has failed to identify any teaching in Dieter, of a program
observation method which loads an address table with an
address of a code of a function being executed and the
address of the context of the function." This refers to the
last phrase of claim 1 beginning with "in particular
. . . ." The Examiner's response (EA12) does not address
this particular information.
