Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for MapReducing the processing of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) document (1, the method comprising the following steps: a. mapping the EDI document (1) into a plurality of intermediate documents (10, 11); b. processing the intermediate documents (10, 11) to produce a plurality of intermediate results (20-23); c. reducing the plurality of intermediate results (20-23) to produce a plurality of reduced intermediate results (30, 31); and d. reducing the reduced intermediate results (30, 31) to produce a final result (2) representing the processed EDI document (1).

Abstract: Certain example embodiments described herein relate to security systems and/or methods for cloud computing environments. More particularly, certain example embodiments described herein relate to the negotiation and subsequent use of Trading Partner Agreements (TPAs) between partners in a Virtual Organization, the TPAs enabling resources to be shared between the partners in a secure manner. In certain example embodiments, TPAs are negotiated, an algorithm is executed to determine where an executable is to be run, the resource is transferred to the location where it is to be run, and it is executed—with the TPAs collectively defining a security policy that constrains how and where it can be executed, the resources it can use, etc. The executable may be transferred to a location in a multipart (e.g., SMIME) message, along with header information and rights associated with the executable.
