A computing system includes a service-oriented architecture (SOA) registry that includes an SOA-application description, an abstract component description, a concrete component description, and a platform description. The SOA-application description is related to the abstract component description of a component of the SOA-application. The concrete component description includes a requirement of a respective component for a target platform. The platform descriptor describes a property of the target platform. The computing system is configured to deploy the SOA-application and its respective components to the target platform in accordance with the concrete descriptions.

SOA-registry, method and platform manager for automatic SOA application deployment

Certain example embodiments relate to techniques for managing the interprocess communication between at least one database client process and at least one database server process in a database system. The at least one database client process sends at least one request to the at least one database server process, with the at least one request comprising one or more buffers. The one or more buffers are transferred, in a single step, from the at least one database client process to a buffer area. The one or more buffers are transferred, in a single step, from the buffer area to the at least one database client process. The buffer area is directly accessible by the at least one database server process.

Method and interprocess communication driver for managing requests of a database client to a database server

An interface unit adapted for connecting at least one database to at least one of a plurality of high availability cluster servers (HA cluster servers), wherein each database is adapted to execute a set of database-specific commands and wherein each HA cluster server is adapted to output a set of HA cluster server-specific commands. The interface unit may comprise a first interface layer adapted for receiving each of the set of HA cluster server-specific commands outputted by the HA cluster servers; and a second interface layer adapted for sending each of the set of database-specific commands to the respective databases. The interface unit may be further adapted to map each of the HA cluster server-specific commands to at least one of the database-specific commands.
