Abstract: A system and method for registering computer software modules to allow or reject it for opportunities of interacting with a computer system, hardware and software and receiving service requests is described. The method is designed to receive the module; to check whether the module contains any suspect “virus type” code; to check the module's version compatibility; to check if the module contains an agreement string, a trademark string and a copyrighted text string. If all checks are valid, the module is registered and permitted to link and receive service requests. If not the module is rejected.

Abstract: A system and method for dispatching computer system service requests to multiple service providers in a tiered-parallel fashion such that a request can be satisfied in the shortest time possible by the computer, or module, most available to provide valid responses is described. The method is designed to permit a hierarchal ordering, by tiers, of preferred service providers, where the dispatches are performed in parallel as to providers on the same tier and in serial as to providers on subsequent tiers. This invention improves the speed and reliability of response to service requests for data, or objects, across a computer system network with one or more computer processing units.
