Abstract:

A Scenario Generation Framework is described. The Framework provides the organizational infrastructure through which scenario data—a shared set of data supporting enterprise application coordination and interoperation—can effectively be managed from a centralized location. From this location, the framework provides capabilities whereby scenario data, described using a published data representation format, can be copied, viewed, formally compared, modified and combined with other segments of scenario data. Also from this location, suitably transformed data can be communicated to applications for use in initializing their execution in concert with other applications. In the preferred embodiment of the framework, workflow management capabilities are included to allow distribution and control of data preparation activities and an integrated workstation is made available to facilitate data manipulation and modification.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for dynamically discovering and communicating data in a communications network are described. A broker in a communications network receives a communication from a first service provider over the communications network, the broker comprising a metabroker and a service broker. The metabroker communicates messages to the service broker within defined time intervals to provide the service broker with any updated information about topics including a first topic. The broker sends information about the first topic to a first service consumer over the communications network within a first time interval from receipt of the communication comprising data about the first topic, and establishes peer-to-peer communication between the first service provider and the first service. The broker receives further communications about topics from multiple service providers over the communications network, and sends further data about to the first topic to the first service consumer.
