  • Software deployment in a data communications network
    Publication number: 20020165976
    Abstract: The invention is a method for software deployment in a data communications network comprising an Initiator, a Service Provider, and a Peer. The Initiator selects a service and sends an interface request related to the service to the Service Provider. The Service Provider authenticates the request and responds with the interface that the Initiator uses to prepare a service request that is sent to the Service Provider. The Service Provider sends an invitation to the Peer that, if it accepts the service, sends an accept service message to the Service Provider that builds the software for the service and distributes it to the Initiator and the Peer that both install the software, and the service is initiated.
