Abstract: A system and method are presented that improve work cooperation among computers. Communication between programs is combined with restart data to travel via a manager on a third computer. Work is represented by a hierarchical set of client to server session pairs that contain restart and message data. Reliability, security, scalability, and aggregate performance are improved with minimal impact on latency of a single piece of work.

Abstract: A system and method are presented that improve transformation processing of program data stored in RAM. For all data structures (objects) with real data stored in RAM, metadata defining the schema (including all data types) for those data structures are also stored in RAM. The metadata provides the information necessary to transform the data in RAM between formats. In one embodiment, data and metadata are held within a recursive and hierarchical set of convenience classes. These convenience classes define the schema, and provide links to appropriate transform algorithms to be used during data transformation.
