  • Patent number: 9477496
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for loading classes to virtual machines and a method and apparatus for reorganizing class archives. The method for loading a class to a virtual machine includes organizing a class archive before class loading such that the organized class archive includes a class contraction portion and loading only the class contraction portion of the class archive to the virtual machine at the moment of class loading. By first loading the class contraction portion from the organized class archive to the virtual machine at the moment of loading, the present invention curtails code redundancy, shortens loading time and reduces occupied memory resources.

  • Publication number: 20130179515
    Abstract: A first message associated with a collaborative task is received from a user. The first message includes an identification of the collaborative task, a plurality of participants for the collaborative task, and a request from the user for each of the participants to provide content for the collaborative task. In response to receiving the first message, a processor generates a request message for each of the participants. Each of the request messages includes a notification of the collaborative task and the request from the user for that participant to provide the content for the collaborative task. The request messages are sent to the participants.
