International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 7/00
G06F 17/30

US Classification:

709217, 707724

Abstract:

The present invention is a common location-based service adapter interface. The common location-based service adapter interface can include a uniform input interface through which location-based services can be requested using a uniform format which is independent of any specific formatting required by a particular service adapter configured to process the location-based services. The common location-based service adapter interface also can include a uniform output interface through which specifically formatted result sets can be formatted using the uniform format.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/228000

Abstract:

A method of requesting location-based services using a rejection model. Responsive to receiving from a pervasive device a network request for location-based processing, the received network request can be stored prior to being forwarded to a selected location-based application. A rejection response to the forwarded network request can be received subsequently and a request for required location information can be identified in the rejection response. The required location information can be identified within the stored network request and a specific network request can be formulated with the required location information. Finally, the specific network request can be forwarded to the selected location-based application. The selected location-based application, in turn, can perform the requested location-based processing using the required location information provided in the specific network response.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/200000

Abstract:

A method, system, and computer program product for allowing a non-member device to access a computational grid. A set of web services is created to provide a port through which a user can access a computational grid using a non-member device. The web services are created using an XML based workflow definition language, such as Web Services Flow Language (WSFL) to provide access to one or more computational grids. A server accepts a user request via a web browser, uses the XML based workflow definition language such as WSFL to create a web service to identify the correct grid or grids that would provided the requested resource, identify an available member of the chosen grid, and create a request that can be processed by the grid member operating within the grid protocols. Once the grid member has obtained the requested solution, the solution is returned to the web service and then supplied to the non-member device.

International Classification:

G06F017/30

US Classification:

707102000

Abstract:

A system and method for dynamically implementing a chain of Web services from a client on the World Wide Web to execute a workflow. The described system includes: a database for storing a list of available Web services, wherein each listed Web service includes a description of a task performed by the Web service, and an input and output signature of the Web service; and a selecting system for forming the chain of Web services by selecting a Web service for each of a plurality of tasks in the workflow, wherein the selecting system matches input and output signatures to ensure that each selected Web service is compatible with adjacent Web services in the chain of Web services.

Appl. No.:

9/092928

Inventors:

Virinder Mohan Batra - Chapel Hill NC

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corp. - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

709227

Abstract:

A technique, system, and computer program for enhancing performance of the computers in a Web environment. This is done by creating a pool of connections between a Web server and backend data servers, reducing the overhead required for accessing the data servers and enabling the applications running on the Web server to be faster. Many different types of connections may be maintained concurrently in the pool, to similar or different data servers. A common interface to the pool is used, regardless of the type of backend data server connection, making programs which use the pool easier (and therefore less costly) to write and support. Options are defined for optimizing the number of connections in the pool.
