A method and system are for deploying a software application. The software application is deployed in a default deployment configuration onto a computing system. The default deployment configuration includes interacting software components of the software application. It is ascertained, from one or more operating indicators of an execution environment of the software application, that a critical condition of the execution environment exists. In response to having ascertained that the critical condition of the execution environment exists, an alternative deployment configuration is selected from one or more alternative deployment configurations of the software application, each alternative deployment configuration having one or more groups of the software components aggregated into corresponding aggregated software components. The software application is re-deployed in the selected alternative deployment configuration onto the computing system.

Dynamic selection of deployment configurations of software applications

A method and system are for deploying a software application. The software application is deployed in a default deployment configuration onto a computing system. The default deployment configuration includes interacting software components of the software application. One or more operating indicators of an execution environment of the software application are monitored. From the monitored one or more operating indicators, it is ascertained that a critical condition of the execution environment exists. In response to having ascertained that the critical condition exists, an alternative deployment configuration is selected from one or more alternative deployment configurations of the software application, each alternative deployment configuration having one or more groups of the software components aggregated into corresponding aggregated software components. The software application is re-deployed in the selected alternative deployment configuration onto the computing system.

One or more processors send a signal from a first computing device to a second computing device through a hardwire connection. One or more processors determine a change between the signal as sent by the first computing device and the signal as received by the second computing device. The change is caused, at least in part, by the distance the signal travels. One or more processors determine a geo-location of the second computing device based, at least in part, on the change.

Document editors have the ability to collapse or expand some part of a file content they are viewing (as an example). However, the few editors that already provide such a feature only provide it for a particular file type or using reserved language words. However, this system (as an example) makes the Collapse/Expand feature available to any file, while it accords strictly to the piece of text the user is writing. Thus, the Collapse/Expand feature might be bound and transferable with any paragraph of the file. A user is able to choose the delimiters of such a collapse action according to its own style and the document type.
