Abstract
Systems and methods are described for packaging and deploying applications using minimal and maximal component sets. A minimal set of application components that includes at least the necessary components for launching the application is first downloaded to an endpoint device from a central server. The application is launched on the endpoint from the minimal set. If the application requests a missing component that is not available on the endpoint, the missing component is requested and delivered on-demand from a maximal set located on the server, where the maximal set contains all possible application components. The application is suspended during the download of the missing component. After the missing component is downloaded, the application is resumed, having access to the missing component on the endpoint.
