Abstract: Network disconnections are automatically detected between a client application and a server When a disconnection is detected by either the client or server, a determination is made as to whether the disconnection is a temporary disconnection or a longer-lasting disconnection. While disconnected, attempts are made to automatically reconnect the client and server. During the disconnected period, a subset of communication functions remain operable. When the connection is restored, presence/availability information is automatically delivered to the client.

Abstract: Presence applications running on different devices are used to access and command devices through a communications server. A communication channel is established between at least two instances of a presence application that are running on different devices. A device that is associated with an instance of a presence application is remotely commanded by a received message from the communications server from another instance of the presence application on a different device.

Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to lifecycle management for business models associated with a business application as well as implementations of the business models. As described herein, a framework is provided in which business models can be built using modeling tools. The framework defines a separation of models from implementations and their relationships. Support is provided for translation of a business model to an implementation automatically and/or manually using development tools. Further embodiments herein define relationships of models to their implementations at various levels of granularity. Relationships can be defined and maintained at various granularity levels of a business application with different addressable granularity of an implemented application. These relationship associations can be used as described herein for tracking and managing changes in an implementation that may affect an associated model and vice versa.
