Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for reusing a component. In one aspect, a method includes detecting insertion into a target application of a reusable component associated with a remote source; identifying a library corresponding to the reusable component, wherein the library is maintained at the remote source; loading the library into a storage location accessible to the target application to create a local library; and instantiating the reusable component in the target application in accordance with the local library. Further, limited system privileges can be granted to the reusable component. Additionally, the reusable component can be assigned to a sandbox based on one or more granted system privileges.

Abstract: A method and structure for calculating transaction costs as a function of one or more services provided by a computer system. Each user/computer transaction utilizes one or more computer system services to execute the transaction. Each computer system service provided by an IT department incurs a cost in terms of the equipment, software, personnel and facilities utilized to provide distinct levels of availability and response time. By identifying one or more IT services utilized to execute a transaction and by calculating the actual cost incurred to provide one or more of the services, a transaction cost is calculated by summing up the service costs. Thus, the transaction cost is a function of the service costs of the one or more services utilized to execute the transaction.
