  • Patent number: 10318359
    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to remotely access object events. An apparatus may comprise a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory may be operative to store a remote event bridge having a surrogate object that when executed by the processor is operative to allow an observer object for a first process to subscribe to an event of a subject object for a second process using the surrogate object. In this manner, the remote event bridge and the surrogate object operates as an interface between subject objects and observer objects without any modifications to either class of objects.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7191224
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for communicating among a plurality of computer-based machines that are interconnected through a network. The method and system utilize a first group of computer modules that operate on a first machine as well as a second group of computer modules that operate on a second machine. The modules of the first and second groups exchange messages over a data network ring. Any one of the modules in the first group may operate as a proxy that is responsible for messages sent to or from the first machine over the data network ring. Any one of the modules in the second group may operate as a proxy that is responsible for messages sent to or from the second machine over the data network ring.
