Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for distributed behavior controlled execution of modeled applications. Embodiments of the invention facilitate the interoperation of a central data store along with various peer-to-peer functionalities. Thus, distributed applications can be executed in an environment that utilizes advantages of both a central data store and peer-to-peer messaging. A read-only portion of a centralized data store can be used to provide some behavior control over various processing systems during execution of a distributed software application. Thus, embodiments of the invention can be used to form a policy-driven collective of nodes forming a distributed, decentralized run-time for model-based applications. Utilizing a cooperating collective of nodes that comply with centralized polices and execute applications over a peer-to-peer fabric permits a distributed application runtime to accommodate distribution and decentralization on a large scale.

Abstract: Abstracting communication with a plurality of containers. Each container encapsulates or hosts a module (e.g., a web service, a database, etc.) associated with a distributed application. A meta-container communicates with drivers that interface with each of the containers. The meta-container represents an abstraction and a virtualization of the containers in the hierarchy. Each container may also be a meta-container for other containers. The recursion and layered hierarchy provide flexible, extensible, and efficient management of the distributed application.

Abstract: A data mining system and method are provided. The system includes at least one client and a service broker configured to include an interface to receive a consultation request from the client. The service broker forwards the consultation request to a Neugent to invoke a consultation of the Neugent, and forwards to the client a result object returned by the Neugent.

Abstract: A method for managing policy in a service-oriented architecture includes intercepting a communication representing a transaction between a client and a service along a network, interpreting the communication to determine details of the transaction, determining if the transaction complies with policy based on the details of the transaction and remediating where the transaction is determined to not comply with the policy.

Abstract: A web service broker method comprises providing an interface between an enterprise and at least one of a service client and a service provider, the service client discovering web services on a service registry and using corresponding web services from the service provider, communicating between the enterprise and the at least one of the service client and the service provider and performing at least one of a) converting information from/to the enterprise to a form appropriate for the at least one of the service client and the service provider and b) converting information from/to the at least one of the service client and the service provider to a form appropriate for the enterprise.
