A service request is processed according to a computation graph associated with the service by receiving inputs for the computation graph from a service client, providing the inputs to the computation graph as records of a data flow, receiving output from the computation graph, and providing the output to the service client. Data flows are processed concurrently in a graph-based computation by potentially concurrent execution of different types of requests, potentially concurrent execution of similar request types, and/or potentially concurrent execution of work elements within a request.

Distributing services in graph-based computations

Executing graph-based computations includes: accepting a specification of a computation graph in which data processing elements are joined by linking elements; dividing the data processing elements into sets, at least one of the sets including multiple of the data processing elements; assigning to each set a different computing resource; and processing data according to the computation graph, including performing computations corresponding to the data processing elements using the assigned computing resources.

Managing computing resources in graph-based computations

A method of providing an application development environment that produces an application framework in a development language-neutral manner which is later adapted into a particular programming language based upon the identity of a requesting device and the requesting user is disclosed. Developers create an object-oriented framework describing the logical structure of an application without being restricted to a particular programming language. Requests from a requesting device for an application appropriate rendering are then processed by utilizing the framework as the basis for the application appropriate rendering written in a format appropriate for the requesting device. The application development environment of the present invention also automatically adapts the presentation for the requesting device according to the type of object being displayed, the role of the user who requests the application appropriate rendering, the type of application, the end user device, and the data volume. The storing of the application framework in a development language-neutral manner enables a high level of re-use of the application logic in adapting to programming requirements.
