A data processing system accesses a group of events to identify a group of types of events and aggregates at least some of the events into a group of items. Each of the events is aggregated by binding another event to an event identified as a particular type of event based on a correspondence between the event and the particular type of event and binding additional information to the event identified as the particular type of event based on a relationship between the additional information and the particular type of event. The data processing system also rendezvous one of the items with an event.

Method and system for realizing a rendezvous service in a management operations center implemented in a global ecosystem of interrelated services

A data processing system may be implemented as a program product embodied on a processing system readable medium for implementing a method for using mobile code for implementing a service in a global ecosystem of interrelated services in an enterprise. The enterprise may include a group of network domains, where each of the network domains further includes a group of servers; at least one service container running on each of the servers; and a group of interrelated services, where each of the interrelated services may run on any of the at least one service container. The program product may include instructions for loading mobile service code for implementing a service on a code server, where the code server is accessible to at least some of the servers in the enterprise; instructions for determining information related to the service, where the information related to the service includes configuration information and a proxy reference for the service, the proxy reference including a codebase containing an address for a code server holding the mobile service code of a proxy for the service; and instructions for launching the service in a network domain.

In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a global enterprise lookup (enterprise repository) is disclosed for providing a client with a mechanism for locating a needed service without knowing where that service is currently running in the enterprise. Whenever a service is launched in a container, that service registers itself with its domain registrar in order to make itself visible to the client in its own local domain but is visible only in the domain in which the service is running. A service must be registered with an enterprise level registry, the global enterprise lookup, to be visible throughout the enterprise. Clients needing a particular service that is not listed in the local registrar as running locally are directed to a global enterprise lookup (which may be implemented as a service for finding an enterprise repository) for the location of a global enterprise lookup within the enterprise. Additionally, the global enterprise lookup also manages VM container leases. When a service is launched, it acquires an enterprise lease with a local registrar. It must periodically renew the enterprise lease with the registrar to maintain its listing in the global enterprise lookup. If a service does not renew its lease within the time period of the lease, it is de-listed from the global enterprise lookup. If renewals are handled by the local domain registrars through replication and the like, the registrar may notify the global enterprise lookup of an enterprise lease renewal. Alternatively, specialized enterprise leasing services may be employed for tracking individual leases for services and notify the global enterprise lookup whenever an enterprise lease expires. Still alternatively, the enterprise employs a series of enterprise registrar services that trawl local registrars for registrations of services and registers the service with the enterprise repository.

Method and system for implementing a global lookup in a global ecosystem of interrelated services

The present invention is directed to a system, method and software product for balancing resource services are always available to match the desired work to be done through the use of 'sticky services.'. Sticky services are defined as services that you know you want to have available as resources and as such they need to be present in the environment of cooperative applications; it may be that you want these always present or it may be that you want them present whenever certain conditions occur (see NewWave policy service). The general assumption of distributed systems is to not count on the environment you want being present, or put another way assume failure will occur. Therefore distributed environments like Jini assume all services are transient and will be garbage collected when not in active use. For the inside out approach to work, a mechanism should exist that, when desired, counters the transit design assumptions. This implies that two things are needed: (1) a mechanism for providing services as needed; (2) a mechanism for insuring the correct balance of resource services are always available to match the desired work to be done.
