The network service can be any collection of resources that are maintained by a party (e.g., third-party, off-site, etc.) and accessible by an identified user over a network (e.g., WAN, Internet, etc.). An interface component can receive a portion of serialized data with transparent structure related to an application specification. A hydrate component can create a web application independent of a network service based at least in part upon the serialized data, the web application has state within the network service.

Abstract: A job execution system comprises a job execution apparatus and a server apparatus interconnected via a network. The server apparatus stores in itself, counter data defining the range of using the job execution apparatus, which is allowed for a user who logs in the job execution apparatus by authentication. The job execution apparatus obtains entirely or partially the counter data of the login user from the server apparatus; returns the counter data that is reduced by job execution to the server apparatus when the user logs out thereof; judges according to conditions set on the job execution apparatus itself, whether or not the counter data returning operation should be suspended; and suspends the counter data returning operation if judges that it should be suspended.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for exchanging configuration settings in a distributed software system in which interrelated software processes execute on both a client system and a service provider. Automation scripts are generated and used by the client system and the service provider to establish and initiate respective test environments. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: A method and system for coordinating allocation of network resources requested by a user for blended services. A plurality of service request messages are received by a network entity, the request messages corresponding to a plurality of services requested by the user. The total network resource requirements for the plurality of services is determined at the network entity, and a resource request is sent from the network entity to a resource management element in the network. If the total network resource requirements are successfully reserve, then the network entity proceeds with processing the request, for example by sending service initiation requests to one or more network servers on which the services are hosted. The network entity may thus keep a tally of all network resource requirements concurrently allocated to a user during delivery of the requested services.
