Abstract: Managing assets during translation of source application to a target application may involve analyzing the source application to generate a database of characteristics of source assets. Thereafter, performance metrics for a target platform may be determined based on the characteristics of the source assets. Subsequently, the source assets may be processed based on the performance metrics to generate target assets.

Abstract: System and method for using cells as a type of managed container to control the operation of mobile software agents and the run-time invocation and use of services within distributed computing environments. The cell process initially starts out empty containing nether agents nor services. The cell discovers and loads published services at run-time through a look up into a distributed service registry. After loading the service, the cell then publishes availability of the service for use by agents. If an application using agents or an agent desires to make use of a service published and provided by a cell, the application or agent makes a request to the cell to fetch an agent that will invoke the service. Prior to migrating to its new cell, the agent creates a proxy agent that provides a communication channel between the agent running within the cell and the originating agent system. Service status and results are returned through the proxy channel.

Abstract: A connection may be established between a first device and a second device in a network. Thereafter, the first device may be monitored for one or more performance parameters. Subsequently, full state information of an application may be processed at the first device based on the performance parameters, and the processed full state information may be transmitted by the first device to the second device. Thereafter, one or more state changes of the application may be processed at the first device based on the one or more performance parameters while the connection is active. Subsequently, one or more processed state changes of the application may be transmitted sequentially by the first device to the second device.

Abstract: Embodiments of techniques that may be used to improve communication efficiency in a network are provided. One or more versions of one or more communication protocols in the network may be monitored. A document object model of data may be processed at a device to generate raw data. Subsequently, the raw data may be transmitted by the device on the network based on the versions of the communication protocols.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may provide methods and/or systems for converting a source application to a platform-independent application. Source programming language code of the source application may be translated to target programming language code of the platform-independent application. The source programming language code may comprise Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) code, and the platform-independent programming language may be independent of one or more device platforms. Further, one or more source resources associated with the source application may be converted to one or more target resources.

Abstract: Embodiments of the methods and apparatus for automatic cross language program code translation are provided. One or more characters of a source programming language code are tokenized to generate a list of tokens. Thereafter, the list of tokens is parsed to generate a grammatical data structure comprising one or more data nodes. The grammatical data structure may be an abstract syntax tree. The one or more data nodes of the grammatical data structure are processed to generate a document object model comprising one or more portable data nodes. Subsequently, the one or more portable data nodes in the document object model are analyzed to generate one or more characters of a target programming language code.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a platform-independent application development framework for programming an application. The framework comprises a content interface configured to provide an Application Programming Interface (API) to program the application comprising a programming code to be executed on one or more platforms. The API provided by the framework is independent of the one or more platforms. The framework further comprises an application environment configured to provide an infrastructure that is independent of the one or more platforms and one or more plug-in interfaces configured to provide an interface between the application environment and the one or more platforms.
