A method manages substantially continuous delivery of a data stream to a mobile communications device through sequential access thereby to respective receivers from a networked arrangement of wireless transceivers at known locations. A current location and velocity of the mobile communications device is determined. Based on a determined current location and velocity of the mobile communications device, a prediction for a next wireless transceiver to be accessed is generated, and a portion of the data stream is pre-cached at a predicted next wireless transceiver.

A method and system for self-managing an application program in a computing environment, is provided. One implementation involves spawning a primary application for execution in the computing environment; the primary application monitoring status of the primary application and the computing environment resources while executing; and upon detecting a first status threshold, the primary application spawning a secondary application in the computing environment, wherein the secondary application comprises a lower functionality version of the primary application, and the primary application terminating.

An architecture for error log processing is provided. Each error log is given a defined priority and mapped to an error recovery procedure (ERP) to be run if the log is seen. The system has a plurality of software layers to process the errors. Each software layer processes the error independently. Errors are reported to a higher software stack when error recovery fails from the lower stack ERPs and recovery is non-transparent. If the system host identified for error processing fails, the control of the ERP is transferred during the failover process. Non-obvious failed component isolating ERPs are grouped to be run together to assist in isolating the failed component. Prioritization of the error systems may be based on a plurality of criteria. ERPs are assigned to run within a particular software stack.
