Abstract: A technique for deploying an application in a cloud computing environment includes: collecting, when a user is deploying an application, metadata and instructions on deploying the application, the metadata comprising service metadata, application metadata and topology metadata, wherein the service metadata comprise metadata on a service required for deploying the application, the application metadata comprise metadata on the application, and the topology metadata comprise metadata indicative of a relationship between the service and the application; and storing the collected metadata and instructions as a model for re-deploying the application.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for providing a service to multiple tenants of an application. Responsive to receiving from a client of a tenant a request, a tenant context of the tenant is bound to the request. With respect to an access to an isolation point of the application in the request, the access to the isolation point is redirected to a partition based on the tenant context bound to the request. The partition may be pre-established for the tenant with respect to the application. Hence, it is possible to provide a multi-tenant solution in a convenient, fast, and cost-effective way, and, in turn, to achieve resource sharing to a greater extent and enhance the resource efficiency.

Abstract: A method for developing an application comprises: one or more processors selecting at least one service associated with an application; and one or more processors creating a binding between the application and the at least one service. Creating the binding is performed by generating, in association with the application, a profile for the at least one service, where the profile contains at least one parameter associated with the at least one service. One or more processors automatically instantiate the at least one parameter in the at least one service based on an environment in which the application runs.

Abstract: A system for and method of rating a content is presented. The method may include receiving first user data associated with one or more contents for a first predetermined time period and second user data associated with the one or more contents for a second predetermined time period. The method may also include determining a first average of the first user data associated with the one or more contents for the first predetermined time period and a second average of the second user data associated with the one or more contents for the second predetermined time period. The method may further include determining a variance between the first average of the first user data associated with the one or more contents, for the first predetermined time period and the second average of the second user data associated with the one or more contents for the second predetermined time period.

Abstract: A method for processing services can include receiving a request for a service; sending the result of the service in which at least one data item is tagged; in response to a selection of the tagged data item, determining other services associated with the service based on a service template of the service; and providing the other services associated with the service as options, wherein the other services take the at least one data item as inputs to provide outputs thereof.

Abstract: Improvements are provided in a service registry in SOA and in service propagation, query, and service selection and routing methods during service invocation. The service registry is connected with a local service domain and a remote service registry and comprises: a local service information manager for registering local services in the local service domain; and a local service information repository connected with the local service information manager for storing service metadata of the local services. The service registry further comprises: a remote service information manager connected with the local service information manager and the remote service registry for receiving a remote service index from the remote service registry; and a remote service information repository connected to the remote service information manager for storing the remote service index received from the remote service registry.
