Abstract: A robust toolkit provides facilities that can be assembled in a modular manner to specify the fundamental architecture of a net-centric application. A bootstrapping process assembles various facilities within the architecture. A configuration facility defines an API for getting properties that can be defined in any number of different types of sources. A factory de-couples how a resource is produced from where the resource is used. A selector framework applies standard query language to contexts other than querying a database. A pipeline architecture defines a model view controller-like framework for a processing pipeline. Selectors are used to specify when certain portions of a Web conversation should be made available to a user. An authorization facility associates permissions with a user to specify which portions of an application a user is authorized to use.

Abstract: Methods, data structures, and systems for tracking network events that occur across multiple platforms are disclosed. Entities may enter into business agreements for products and services to be conducted across different platforms and register the terms of those agreements with a tracking computer. The tracking computer can monitor network events and determine settlement amounts to be distributed between the entities involved in a given network event based on the terms of one or more agreements that may be stored in a database.
