Abstract: The KonaWare Framework is a collection of software components that provide bi-directional transactions between wireless/mobile devices and enterprise server applications. Transactions are achieved between client and server by breaking up the sequence such that the client does not have to wait until the transaction is completed before relinquishing the network connection. By using asynchronous messaging, the message is persisted at every step and can be handed off to the next stage without waiting. The reply from the server comes back to the client as an asynchronous message and completes the transaction. Bi-directional messaging is achieved using server-initiated push techniques such as modem signaling, http listener, SMS or polling using an efficient decaying algorithm. Messages are sent via communication channels that can be a combination of a physical network and a service provider.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for reducing the cost of sending messages over an intermittent network of computing devices via multiple communication channels by creating a first message on a first device, the message intended to be sent to a second device over the network multiple communication channels; applying a first policy to reduce the cost of sending messages over the intermittent network of computing devices, the first policy containing one or more rules to determine whether to send the first message to the second device, each rule being a function of one or more messaging attributes of messages, channels or the system environment; and dynamically updating the first policy by sending a second message to the first device, the second message being a system message that results in the addition, deletion or other modification of the rules contained in the policy to reduce the cost of sending messages over the intermittent network of computing devices.
