Abstract: A distributed computing environment in which each of a plurality of peer machines includes an interpreter for interpreting methods written in an interpreted language to platform-specific methods. The interpreter, for example, is a Java virtual machine that has been modified to implement the inventive protocol. The protocol dynamically load balances a process as follows. In response to receiving a new method for interpretation at a first peer machine, the machine profiles the new method to determine whether there is an advantage to sending the new method to another peer machine for interpretation. If there is an advantage to having the new method interpreted elsewhere, the method and its protocol are packaged and sent to a given subset of the peer machines. These machines then bid to interpret the new method on behalf of the first peer machine. The winning machine then interprets the method on behalf of first peer machine, and then returns the results back to the first peer machine.

Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing a first database and a second database is disclosed. The first database is of a first class, while the second database is of a second class. The method and system include providing a repository database for storing metadata regarding the first database and the second database, automatically generating the first database using a first portion of the metadata and automatically generating the second database using a second portion of the metadata. The method and system further include automatically generating a mapping between the first database and the second database using a third portion of the metadata stored in the repository database.

Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing a first database and a second database is disclosed. The first database is of a first class, while the second database is of a second class. In one aspect, the method and system include providing a repository database for storing metadata regarding the first database and the second database, automatically generating the first database using a first portion of the metadata and automatically generating the second database using a second portion of the metadata. The method and system further include automatically generating a mapping between the first database and the second database using a third portion of the metadata stored in the repository database. In a second aspect, the first database is a preexisting database. In this aspect, the method and system include providing a repository database for storing metadata regarding the first database and the second database and automatically generating the second database using a first portion of the metadata.
