Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for deploying a componentized application in a deployment environment using a deployment tool to receive a description of how to deploy the component onto a logical description of the deployment environment, and map the logical description of the deployment environment to the deployment environment based on the mapping data. The deployment tool may receive a component to be deployed in the deployment environment, and automatically deploy the component to the deployment environment. The deployment tool may also generate mapping data including one or more desired attributes of the deployment model based on the description.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods deploying a componentized application using a deployment tool to analyze an application to be deployed, where the application depends on at least two or more deployed capabilities that are interrelated, and the deployed capabilities each provide independent functionality. The deployment tool may automatically identify two or more deployed capability providers that provide the two or more deployed capabilities.

Abstract: A method and system for testing a physical system including a number of input channels for receiving physical inputs, using load testing, comprising: intercepting at least a portion of the input channels; replacing at least a portion of the physical inputs of the intercepted input channels with one or more emulation programs, wherein the emulation programs include parameters which allow to control outputs of the one or more emulation programs to the intercepted input channels; configuring a functional test in a load testing software tool to drive execution of the one or more emulation programs; randomly generating outputs simulating the physical inputs, from the one or more emulation programs, by executing the load testing software tool; collecting data from the execution of the one or more emulation programs as the load testing software tool executes; and analyzing the collected data for presence or absence of deadlocks or race conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for deploying a componentized application using a deployment tool to deploy an application expressing a requirement for a first capability associated with a second capability, and to find a first capability provider providing the first capability, where the second capability is provided by a second capability provider, and the second capability is dynamically associated with the first capability provider.

Abstract: A method for maintaining statistics on a remote server. The method includes receiving statistics from client devices that are coupled to the remote server. The statistics are associated with data on the remote server. The remote server receives statistics either when a user accesses the data on the remote server or when collected statistics associated with the data previously downloaded into a cache on each client device is uploaded to the remote server from each client device. The method also includes updating the statistics on the remote server in response to either a user access of the data on the remote server or a receipt of the collected statistics from each client device; and downloading the updated statistics to each client device.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus is used for storing and delivering information over the Internet and using Internet technologies. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method and apparatus is disclosed for validating a collection of data.

Abstract: A client-server architecture for use with mobile clients communicating requests through wireless communications. The requests from the client and the subsequent responses by the server are transferred between the client-server connection through an intermediary agent, which operates asynchronously to the client and to the server.
