Abstract: The invention is directed to transferring assignment of mobile gateway functionality from a first client to a second client in a network. An exemplary method comprises determining, by a controller, a current power level of the first client, wherein mobile gateway functionality is currently assigned to the first client; determining, by the controller, the current power level of the first client is less than or equal to a threshold power level; and transferring, by the controller, assignment of the mobile gateway functionality from the first client to the second client.

Abstract: A method and tool for indicating dependency in a graphical program or a dataflow diagram is provided. The method comprises determining nodes that are affected by a selected node of a graphical program or a dataflow diagram and determining nodes that affect the selected node. Dependency data relating to the selected node is displayed to a user by indicating the nodes that are affected by the selected node and/or the nodes that affect the selected node. By using the tool, the a user can navigate through the graphical program or the dataflow diagram to find where there are signals, nodes or modules that are dependent in some way on the selected signal.
