Abstract: A method for providing dependency registration and impacted service notification is provided. The method includes mining resource data for a plurality of resources included in heterogeneous platforms included in a single eco-system, and identifying, for each resource, one or more connections with other resources present in the heterogeneous platforms based on the mined resource data. The method also includes generating a resource dependency chain from the resource data and the identified one or more connections, and monitoring change events for the resources included in the heterogeneous planforms. When a change event is detected for a target resource among the resources, the method includes determining one or more resources that are impacted by the change event detected for the target resource based on the resource dependency chain, and transmitting a notification to users of the impacted resources.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing a first data set stored on a mobile communications device with a second data set stored in another location, comprising (a) accessing the second data set while the user of the mobile communications device is accessing the first data set; and (b) updating the first data set in light of the second data set.
