Abstract: Application object materialization is described. A system inputs data objects from tables in a source database, and then outputs the data objects to tables in a target database. A materializer constructs an application object based on applying relationships between the tables in the source database to the data objects in the tables in the target database. The system receives an application object request from an application associated with the target database, and outputs the application object.

Abstract: Object materialization and replication policies are described. A system identifies data objects in tables in a source database by applying a data object replication policy to a superset of the data objects in the tables in the source database. The system inputs the data objects from the tables in the source database, and outputs the data objects to tables in a target database. A materializer constructs an application object based on applying an application object materialization policy associated with the tables in the source database to the data objects in the tables in the target database. The system receives an application object request from an application associated with the target database, and outputs the application object.

Abstract: Platform runtime abstraction can include creating a number of template models within a platform where the number of template models correspond to a provider mode and creating a number of abstraction layers that allow a provider to plug into the platform at runtime where the provider includes a provider sub-system and the provider model. Platform runtime abstraction can also include allowing the provider to plug into the platform at runtime through one of the number of abstraction layers wherein the provider remains independent of the platform and where the provider remains independent of a platform hardware infrastructure and a platform operating system infrastructure.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and/or a system to improve data synchronization and integration of heterogeneous databases distributed across enterprise and/or cloud using bi-directional transactional bus of asynchronous change data system. In one embodiment, a method of snapshot materialization and application consistency includes running a change capture system to capture all changes by collecting a change capture data, running an initial bulk load of all data in a source system, and applying all change transactions to a particular transaction id. The method includes removing a reappearance of a record using keys that handle de-duplication of entries and deeming a snapshot of a target system. The change capture data concerns in the source system in an order of its occurrence. A logical clock value determines the order in which the changes have occurred. The changes are a transactional and/or a non-transactional. The transaction boundaries are preserved as part of the change capture data.

In addition, the system also includes a set of Point of Presence (POP) locations between the head office and the branch office to communicate the collaborative document, the computed document and the static document on behalf of the head office from a closest POP location to the head office to a closest POP location to the branch office and then onward to the branch office.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable and executable instructions are provided for platform runtime abstraction. Platform runtime abstraction can include creating a number of template models within a platform wherein the number of template models correspond to a provider mode and creating a number of abstraction layers that allow a provider to plug into the platform at runtime wherein the provider includes a provider sub-system and the provider model. Platform runtime abstraction can also include allowing the provider to plug into the platform at runtime through one of the number of abstraction layers wherein the provider remains independent of the platform and wherein the provider remains independent of a platform hardware infrastructure and a platform operating system infrastructure.

Abstract: Method, system, apparatus, and computer program and computer program product provide on-demand, scalable computational resources to application providers over a distributed network and system. Resources are made available based on demand for applications. Application providers are charged fees based on the amount of resources utilized to satisfy the needs of the application. In providing compute resources, method and apparatus is capable of rapidly activating a plurality of instances of the applications as demand increases and to halt instances as demand drops. Application providers are charged based on metered amount of computational resources utilized in processing their applications. Application providers access the network to distribute applications onto network to utilize distributed compute resources for processing of the applications. Application providers are further capable of monitoring, updating and replacing distributed applications.
