Abstract: Systems described herein include wagering game systems having a motion capable chair. The disclosure addresses example systems and methods to control the motion capable chair, including utilization of user preferences, applying output of a physic engine, and monitoring safety conditions for the motion capable chair. In addition, movement of chairs on multiple wagering game systems may be coordinated in response to events occurring on one or more machines in the system.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein include wagering game systems having a motion capable chair that moves in response to events or conditions that originate externally to a wagering game machine associated with the motion capable chair. Example systems and methods to control the motion capable chair include utilization of sensor data or information servers to determine external events or conditions, and using such data to control one or more motion capable chairs. External events or conditions may include notifications, marketing data, progressive game play events, an emotional state of an occupant of a motion capable chair, sounds, or other external stimuli.

Abstract: Methods of developing an application program to manage a distributed system or network are provided.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method of monitoring and controlling managed objects within a distributed system by manipulating one or more management application programs is provided. The method includes: providing a run-time tool associated with a management station. The management station is in communication with the distributed system. The run-time tool is in communication with the management application programs. The run-time tool is activated by an activation command having a predetermined syntax. The run-time tool responds to a plurality of input commands, each input command having a predetermined syntax. The run-time tool response to certain input commands is to generate one or more corresponding management application commands and send the generated commands to at least one management application program. Various embodiments of the method are provided.

Abstract: Methods of defining a distributed system or network to facilitate development of an application program to manage the distributed system or network are provided.

Abstract: Methods of developing an application program to manage a distributed system or network are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes: a) defining managed objects in a resource definition language and storing the definition in resource definition language files, b) parsing the resource definition language files to ensure conformity with the resource definition language and creating an intermediate representation of the distributed system, c) processing the intermediate representation to form programming language classes, database definition files, and script files, d) developing a reusable asset center framework to facilitate development of the application program, the reusable asset center including an SNMP agent framework that provides SNMP interface functionality to the application program, and e) building the application program from the programming language classes, database definition files, script files, and the reusable asset framework.
