Abstract: Tasks for a business process can be decomposed into subtasks represented by messages. Message processing can be throttled in a heterogeneous environment. For example, message processing at subtask nodes can be individually throttled at the node level by controlling the number of instances of subtask processors for the subtask node. An infrastructure built with framework components can be used for a variety of business process tasks, separating business logic from the framework logic. Thus, intelligent scalability across platform types can be provided for large scale business processes with reduced development time and resources.

Abstract: A system and method for locking an application to specific hardware device without storing device or user information on server. A lock registration is performed during the first usage of the application where the application sends a unique value to the server through secured channel. This unique value is combination of user specific information and device information. The server receives the unique value, and sends the encrypted value to the device, which is stored in predefined location of device. During lock validation, which is initiated during every request to the server or on every session creation, the device unique value and encrypted value is sent to the server. The server receives it, decrypts the encrypted value, and compares with the received unique value. If both the values are same, the server validates application instance by sending the response to the device else error message is sent to the device.
