Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, applications may be dynamically relocated from one flash memory device to another flash memory device based on application usage data. Monitoring of application usage may be continuous, and the application usage data may be updated as application usage changes over time.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, applications may be dynamically reconfigured as execute-in-place applications or non-execute in place applications by monitoring application usage and configuring the applications based on the application usage data. Monitoring of application usage may be continuous, and the application usage data may be updated as application usage changes over time.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a communication system may include a system host that transmits messages to a number of client devices, which may be dynamically grouped. The target client(s) may receive the message, compile the requested information, initiate a connection with the host over a back channel, and transmit the requested information to the host.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a communication system may include a system host that transmits messages to a number of client devices, which may be dynamically grouped. The system host may link the client identifier of a client in a group to a group identifier and an expiration indicator in a client-group database. The membership information in the database may be updated as groups are added, deleted, or modified, or as client memberships expire. The system host may compile a general membership file from information in the client-group database and transmit it at scheduled intervals. Client devices may update their membership files with the transmitted file and by deleting expired membership records. The system host may transmit messages that include a group identifier in a header. A client device may inspect the header and discard the message if the transmitted group identifier is not found in that client device's internal membership file.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing alert management messages in a broadcast environment to individual recipients or to identifiable groups of recipients.

The client devices may receive the transmitted general membership file and use it to update their internal membership files.

A client device may inspect the header and discard the message if the transmitted group identifier is not found in that client device's internal membership file.
