Abstract
A method of managing behavior of algorithms includes specifying governing rules/policies that manage I-Set implementation directives, command line options, and environment variables and loading governing rules/policies into a behavior manager. Inside a client tool, the I-Set hierarchy processes and iterates one I-Set node at a time. Without more I-Sets to process, the method is done. If more, then the tool queries the Behavior Manager with an I-Set with symbolic designators of the queried behavior. The Behavior Manager can reply to the client tool indicating whether the queried behavior is to be supported on the appropriate logic of the I-Set node. If the algorithm for the I-Set node lacks the queried behavior, then another I-Set might require processing. If the algorithm for the I-Set node has the queried behavior, then the client tool applies the corresponding algorithm(s) on the appropriate logic.
