DISCUSSION
Claude Baudoin (over 2 years ago)
The entire application falls in the area of a "business method" to conduct the design, development and execution of computer applications supporting business processes. There is an entire field of work in this area, with hundreds of books and papers, dating back to at least 1987, when John Zachman of IBM proposed the term "Enterprise Architecture" (I submitted the paper as prior art).
Given this mass of prior work, one cannot claim that a new way to slice and dice systems, regardless whether it is made of 3, 10 or 100 levels, is novel or is non-obvious. The only criterion of patentability that is arguably met is the one of utility... although the utility of adding one more architectural model to the many that exist could be debated.PEER TO PATENT ACTIVITY
