| 20090041033 | FITNESS BASED ROUTING - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for fitness based routing. Embodiments of the invention significantly improve the likelihood that routing nodes contained in routing table have adequate (or even relatively increased) ability to transfer and process messages in an overlay network. Thus, when the node is to make a routing decision for a message, the node has some assurances that any selected routing node is adequate (or is at least the best currently available). Further, a sending node can take preference to routing nodes with higher fitness values when sending a message. Preference to higher fitness metric values further insures that messages are adequately transferred and processed. Accordingly, embodiments of the invention can be used to route messages in a manner that optimizes bandwidth and provides efficient routing capability. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090165021 | Model-Based Composite Application Platform - Embodiments provide an architecture to enable composite, autonomous composite applications and services to be built and deployed. In addition, an infrastructure is provided to enable communication between and amongst distributed applications and services. In one or more embodiments, an example architecture includes or otherwise leverages five logical modules including connectivity services, process services, identity services, lifecycle services and tools. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090204912 | GENEERAL PURPOSE INFINITE DISPLAY CANVAS - Expanding and contracting a display screen container. Data is stored in a computer readable medium. The data represents a screen container such as a graphical desktop user interface displayable to a user on a computer display of a computing device. Data is stored representing artifacts, including one or more application graphical user interface artifacts for applications that are instantiated on the computing device. Information is stored specifying locations where each of the artifacts should be graphically located in the screen container. The graphical size of screen container is determined by the locations of the artifacts. Based on user input, a portion of the screen container is displayed to the user on the computer display of the computing device. The screen container may be expanded or contracted based on opening or closing graphical user interface artifacts, adding or removing artifacts, or repositioning artifacts. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090204941 | IMPLICIT COMPOSITION OF COMPONENT BINDINGS - Component domains used to define a binding between various components associated with the component domain. The component domain tracks the various services to be imported by each component, and tracks the various services exported by each component. At runtime, rather than at compile time, the various interrelations between the components are bound using the service import and export data. Accordingly, depending on the components available and their characteristics, the bindings may differ. This permits applications to be much more flexible. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100146431 | OBJECT PICKER WITH WINDOW SPLITTER - An application work area that includes a splitting mechanism that permits the work area to be divided into multiple windows. Each window is capable of displaying a selected object of the available objects that are open in the application. Each window might include a corresponding distinct object selection mechanism that allows a user to select one of the open objects to display in the corresponding window. In one embodiment, this is permitted regardless of whether that open object is already displayed in another of the windows. As examples, the object selection mechanism may be a selectively viewable open object list such as, for example, a drop down list. Thus, each window that has an object selection mechanism may be used to independently control the object that is viewed in that window. | 06-10-2010 |
