A method, system, and computer readable medium is described for creating a prototype GUI (500) for conversion into an actual GUI (552, 554) whose appearance when displayed matches the appearance of the prototype GUI. In some situations, multiple personnel may participate in the process, such as a non-technical GUI designer (540b) that specifies the prototype GUI appearance information and a technical GUI developer (550b) that specifies various non-appearance information for a corresponding actual GUI. A prototype GUI is first created based on layout and other appearance information specified for various GUI elements, and corresponding proxy GUI objects (540) are generated that store appearance information but not various non-appearance information used as part of an actual GUI. Proxy GUI objects for a prototype GUI can then be converted into actual GUI objects (550) for use with an actual GUI, and various non-appearance information can be specified for the actual GUI objects in various ways.

A framework, which conforms to the OAuth standard, involves a generic OAuth authorization server that can be used by multiple resource servers in order to ensure that access to resources stored on those resource servers is limited to access to which the resource owner consents. Each resource server registers, with the OAuth authorization server, metadata for that resource server, indicating scopes that are recognized by the resource server. The OAuth authorization server refers to this metadata when requesting consent from a resource owner on behalf of a client application, so that the consent will be of an appropriate scope. The OAuth authorization server refers to this metadata when constructing an access token to provide to the client application for use in accessing the resources on the resource server. The OAuth authorization server uses this metadata to map issued access tokens to the scopes to which those access tokens grant access.

The system includes a novel software application interactive representation modeling language, a software application ( 82 ) operative to use the modeling language to create, read and modify interactive representation models of the proposed applications, a memory ( 86 ) to store requirement data and interactive representation model data, a software application ( 92 ) operative to read and update the interactive representation model data across a computer network, a software application ( 76 ) operative to maintain a record of the requirements and to administer operation of the system, a software application ( 78 ) operative to render interactive representations of the proposed applications in browser readable format, a software application ( 82 ) operative to allow multiple instances of other applications to access interactive representation data and requirement data residing in the memory and a software application ( 84 ) operative to allow an individual user's interactions with the system to be broadcast across a networked system to other users.

A common consolidation management application provides an interface to the multiple different system management software applications and at least one user input console. An adapter in each of the system management software applications supports communication with the consolidation application. A system administrator issues requests to different system management software applications using a common interface provided by the consolidation application. The consolidation application can be installed over an existing complex of computer systems managed by different management applications, without modifying the managed systems or replacing the management applications.

A system and a method for visiting a third party application through a cloud platform are disclosed. The method includes: receiving a cloud platform account and cloud platform password information inputted by a user; searching a stored binding information mapping table according to a third party application selected by the user to obtain the third party application and obtain access information not comprising cleartext password corresponding to the cloud platform account information, and transmitting the access information to the third party application server; and receiving authentication succeed information returned by the third party application server. According to the present disclosure, complexity of user's operations may be reduced when the user logs on frequently and security level of the user for visiting the third party application may be improved.

Current service technologies are primarily focused on the functionality of services. A significant portion of the available services, however, exhibits a data-driven rather than a functionality-driven character, which makes the current technologies less appropriate. This paper focuses on discovery for data-driven services as part of data federation as an overall goal. The primary requirements and characteristics are discussed and a prototype implementation based on ebXML is presented. Although significant progress has been made, many practical issues remain to be addressed in order to get this model fully operational.

Ontology-Based Discovery of Data-Driven Services

Discovery of web services

An analytics processing node (APN) comprises an analytics processing engine (PED 1 ) comprising: 
- an event stream processing platform (ESPP) for routing and filtering events according to analytics algorithms, and for collaborating with the event stream processing platforms of other nodes, 
- a local storage (LS), 
- a distributed file system overlay (DFS) or a distributed database, for supporting data-center oriented data warehouse tools, and 
- a distributed query engine (DQE) for supporting historical analytics or data-mining type of activities. A back office data centre (BODC') comprises a complex event processing engine (CEPE'), at least one processing units (PU'), a data base (DB') for storing received analytics data, and an analytics front-end (AFE) comprising: 
- a software module for discovering the network topology of a hierarchical telecommunications network; 
- a software module for accepting analytics algorithms operating on event data and expressed for example in a language similar to CQL (Continuous Query Language); 
- a software module for transforming these algorithms into one or more sub-algorithms, each sub-algorithm implementing a part of the overall analytics algorithm and operating on a subset of the event data; and 
- a software module for deploying these sub-algorithms as close as possible to the source of events they operate on, based on the available network topology information.

The present invention relates to a method for allocating an application comprising orchestrated services to one of at least two orchestration engines (130, 140, 150), each of the orchestration engines (130, 140, 150) being adapted to execute orchestrated services respecting certain performance conditions. The method comprises the steps of receiving performance conditions (c1, c2, c3) for the application to be executed on the orchestration engine (130, 140, 150) and allocating one of the at least two orchestration engines (130, 140, 150) to the application, thereby respecting the received performance conditions (c1, c2, c3). The invention further relates to a dynamic application latency controller (200) for performing that method and a service orchestration device (210) comprising that dynamic application latency controller (200).

This invention concerns an arrangement for invoking a requested service, the arrangement comprises a discovery service (2106), the discovery service (2106) comprising storage means for storing a data model of at least one service and retrieval means for retrieving a service (2103, 2104, 2105), where the storage means are adapted to store relationships between services, comprising in advance retrieval means for retrieving a path of multiple services in said data model, where the concatenation of the services correspond to the requested service. The invention concerns also a method for invoking a requested service, the method comprising the steps of retrieving in advance a path of multiple services in said data model, where the concatenation of the services correspond to a requested service for invoking the service on the path consecutively.
