Abstract: A computer-implemented method for deploying an application on a computing resource includes: defining sets of groups of tenants for categorizing the plurality of tenants; assigning each tenant to at least one group of tenants; providing a deployment model for each combination of an application component of the plurality of application components and a tenant; determining constraint information for each combination of application component and tenant depending on the deployment model, wherein the deployment model is configured to enable each tenant to include and/or exclude entire groups of tenants from sharing one or more application components and/or infrastructure of the computing resource; determining a valid deployment configuration of the application depending on the constraint information associated with each application component; and deploying the application on the computing resource accordingly.

Abstract: There is provided a method of processing electronic coupons, comprising: allocating a unique code to each of a plurality of electronic coupons; enabling a mobile device to receive one or more of said codes, and to store said codes in a memory of the mobile device, wherein each code is associated with one or more attributes, including a value of the corresponding electronic coupon; enabling the mobile device to output a code associated with a user-selected electronic coupon to another device.
