Provided herein are methods for reserving a parking space. In a user-implemented method, a user inputs a request into an electronic device to reserve one or more parking spaces and pays for the reservation. The reservation may be for a general parking space or for a specific parking space in a parking lot or garage. In another method the user inquiry is received as input and processed on an electronic device networked to a central cloud server comprising a distributed cloud computer system. A status of the parking space is displayed to the user in real time to which the user makes a reply. Also provided is a distributed e-parking space system able to execute instructions to receive input and, via a Distributed Internet Services system, to distribute an application or components to process input, deploy the distributed applications/components and synchronize data related to the reservation process.

Provided herein is a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising software configured to enable instructions to create of a multidimensional value model for an event, such as, a travel event. When executed information related to events from all sources is stored and categorized according to the source, value dimension and value description of the event are established and used to create an initial multidimensional value model. If the event is a travel event, the initial model is updated according to user-selected travel events and a recommendation for travel made to the user based on the updated model. Also provided is a distributed cloud computer system that integrates cloud computing with a Distributed Internet Services system and cloud computing methods, particularly, for improving user experience during e-commerce transactions. A non-transitory storage medium tangibly stores processor-executable instructions to execute the methods.

Distributed cloud services system and uses thereof

Member object(s) of a computer system part(s) in an Enterprise Information System (EIS) are identified (discovered) and topographical relationship(s) are established among them to create digital assets by traversing computer file system(s) to find member object(s). For each member object found, a digital asset identifier thereof is placed in an intermediate representation, such as a graph with nodes and edges. Each digital asset identifier corresponds to a node. The edges represent the topographical relationship. A digital asset is created by placing the member object in a logic/data section of the digital asset, attaching an extended environment data structure to the logic/data section and storing the digital asset in an asset inventory container object. This is repeated for each found member object until the intermediate representation fully describes the computer system part and the asset inventory container object is a complete inventory of the digital assets in the computer system part.

Server system and method for discovering digital assets in enterprise information systems

Provided are methods and systems for distributing an asset to a multi-tiered network node. A pending notice is received from a distribution server. If the notice indicates that at least one asset is pending, i.e., awaiting deployment, an asset descriptor manifest is received from the distribution server. The asset descriptor manifest, which is stored in a memory on a node, identifies at least one asset to be deployed to the node and includes an offset associated with the asset identifier. A fragment, associated with the asset, is received and stored in the memory. The offset associated with the asset is marked with the end of the fragment and a second fragment, beginning at the offset, is received. Additional fragments are received, and the offset updated, until the entire asset is deployed to the node. Alternately, the entire asset or multiple assets are received in the first fragment.

Member objects of a computer system part(s) in an Enterprise Information System (EIS) are identified and categorized for export to a packaging process or to another computer system over tiers of network(s). An intermediate representation of the part(s) is made while applying context rule(s) to determine a standard specified context or a non-specified context of the parts. For a standard specified context, a directed search acquires the set of runnable and/or non-runnable member objects in a location(s) in the EIS. For a non-specified context, an implicit traversal search is performed for any of the set of runnable and/or non-runnable member objects in one or more locations in an Enterprise Information System (EIS). Set(s) of runnable and/or non-runnable member objects are accessed at their locations in the EIS and a preliminary package specification is made therefrom. Digital assets listed therein are updated with export descriptors added to the extended environment.

Provided is a computer system and method for transactional deployment of component(s) over a multi-tier network with J2EE application server program(s) stored on a memory(ies) of the system and which are executed by a central processing unit(s) (CPUs). A J2EE application(s) can be executed by the J2EE application servers, and a J2EE application container(s) are contained within each J2EE application server. Each J2EE application container contains a J2EE application container component(s) and a Java EJB container(s) or Java web containers are contained within each J2EE application container. A J2EE component(s) are delivered to the J2EE application server over one or more tiers of the network. There are one or more logical connections to one or more databases located on the network. This defines a sphere of control managing transactional deployment of the delivered J2EE component(s) and an update of the database to keep the data consistent with the J2EE application.

System and method for transactional deployment of J2EE web components, enterprise java bean components, and application data over multi-tiered computer networks

A method for distributing changes to digital assets across a network includes determining an asset type of a first digital asset and comparing the first digital asset to a prior digital asset to determine one or more deltas, the prior digital asset being a prior version of the first digital asset and the delta being a difference between the first digital asset and the prior digital asset. The method further includes evaluating the one or more of the deltas with one or more criteria to determine if the one or more delta assets should be created, the delta asset being a second digital asset containing the respective delta, the criteria determined by the asset type. The method further includes that if the delta meets the criteria, creating the delta asset, and marking the delta asset as a first delta asset of the first digital asset.

An exemplary method and/or exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method for bridging an asset over a multi-tiered network. Generally, communications can be maintained between executable assets residing on different network nodes by bridging the execution context of the two nodes. In an embodiment, a mapping layer can be generated for assets that have run-time dependencies; the mapping layer uses a distribution system to bridge the execution context of a first environment with that of a second environment. The asset executing in the first environment can access another resource located in the second environment, even though the asset does not have local access to the resource in the second environment. A fault is detected when at least one asset deployed on a local node attempts to access at least one resource on a remote node through an application programming interface. The fault is then handled appropriately.

System and method for bridging assets to network nodes on multi-tiered networks

An exemplary method and/or exemplary embodiment of the present invention synchronizes an asset over a multi-tiered network. An asset may represent network and/or application components (e.g., data, objects, applications, program modules, etc.) that may be distributed among the various resources of the network. Synchronization addresses the restoration of asset coherency in a distributed system, i.e. bringing changes made to assets on one distributed node into harmonization with changes made to assets on another distributed node. In an embodiment, a synchronization call having a data argument and an asset type is received, an adapter associated with the asset type is selected, and the data argument is passed to the adapter. The asset type is determined, as well as a table associated with the asset type. A synchronization information object is retrieved from a target environment on a target node, and a synchronization asset is created based on the synchronization information. A connection is established between the target node and the asset's original source node, and the synchronization asset is sent from the target node to the source node.

System and method for synchronizing assets on multi-tiered networks

The present invention provides a system and method for translating an asset for distribution to a multi-tiered network node. An asset may represent network and/or application components (e.g., data, objects, applications, program modules, etc.) that may be distributed among the various resources of the network. In an embodiment, an asset has a logic/data section and an extended environment section. The logic/data section defines a function of the digital asset along with the asset's type, while the extended environment section supports the function of the logic/data section within at least one source environment. The asset type is determined and a process asset adapter, associated with the asset type and a target environment, is selected. The asset is then translated into a processed asset having a processed extended environment section supporting the function of the logic/data section in the target environment.

System and method for translating an asset for distribution over multi-tiered networks

A system and method for adjusting the distribution of an asset over a multi-tiered network is provided. An asset may represent network and/or application components (e.g., data, objects, applications, program modules, etc.) that may be distributed among the various resources of the network. In an embodiment, a performance metric is received and input to a performance model. The model determines a network optimization and at least one change requirement based on the metric. A package specification is changed to reflect the requirement, which may specify that at least one asset should be packaged in at least one package. The change requirement is implemented and the package is distributed over the network.

System and method for adjusting the distribution of an asset over a multi-tiered network

A method and system of operating a computer system for targeting one or more digital assets on a distribution server connected to one or more networks so that the digital assets are compatible with one or more target nodes connected to the networks includes examining the one or more digital assets to determine an asset type of the digital asset and, if the asset type is Relational Data (RD), retrieving one or more where clauses of the digital asset. The method and system may further include executing a token replacement operation on the where clause to create a transformed where clause and running a query on one or more tables specified in the digital asset using the transformed where clause, the query returning one or more returned records and the returned records correlating with the target node. The method and system may further include storing the returned record in the digital asset.
