Title: Brian Hackett: Inventor of Programmable Annotation Inference
Introduction
Brian Hackett is an inventor associated with Ithaca, New York, and Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC. His patent work addresses techniques for inferring annotations in program source code.
Latest Patents
Hackett is associated with 1 patent: “Programmable Annotation Inference.” The invention describes tools and techniques for inferring annotations from source code based partly on a description or specification created with a programmable tool. A separate specification tool can generate the specification, which an inference engine then uses to infer one or more annotations for a computer program. The approach is designed to support different code bases and program states or properties of interest, while reducing the effort involved in annotating legacy source code.
Career Highlights
Hackett’s listed patent connects his work with software development tools and program analysis. The invention emphasizes flexible annotation inference through programmable specifications and a distinct inference engine.
