MANAGEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN APPLICATION MODULES ON RESOURCE NODES IN A SOCIAL WEB

摘要

A resource node (2800) has application modules (2810) that are functionally interconnected by an application management proxy node (2840) to one another and/or to application modules (2810) of another resource node (2800) to provide combined functionality to a user. The resource node (2800) includes a plurality of the application modules (2810) and an application agent (2920). Each of the application modules (2810) controls the resource node (2800) to provide corresponding defined functionality. The application agent (2820) communicates with the application management proxy node (2840) to establish functional interconnections between two or more of the application modules (2810) of the resource node (2800) and/or between at least one of the application modules of the resource node (2800) and at least one of the application modules of the other resource node. The application agent (2820) translates communication traffic to provide compatible communications between the application modules that are functionality interconnected. Related application management proxy nodes (2840) and methods are disclosed.
