Systems and methods for integrating a plurality of computer resources
First Claim
1. A system for integrating a plurality of computer applications, comprising:
- on a platform with a requestor,an abstraction layer operative to receive from the requestor a request of a target application, the request including data identifying a target application and a target application service requested by the requestor;
a plurality of sack content providers in communication with the abstraction layer, the plurality of sack content providers operative to interface with a plurality of elements including at least a first application and at least a first hub; and
a Profile Manager in communication with the abstraction layer, the Profile Manager operative to receive data identifying a target application and to select which of the plurality of sack content providers to use to interface with the appropriate element based on the data identifying the target application.

Abstract
One embodiment of the invention provides a method for integrating a plurality of computer applications. The method includes receiving from a requestor a request of a target application. The request includes data identifying a target application and a target application service requested by the requestor. An abstraction layer receives the request. The method further includes using a Profile Manager in communication with the abstraction layer to receive data identifying the target application, to select a sack (a portable container for the request, e.g., a serialized object) and to select which of a plurality of sack content providers (SCPs) to use to interface with an appropriate element given the target application. The plurality of SCPs are in communication with the abstraction layer. The plurality of SCPs interface with a plurality of elements including at least a first application and at least a first hub.

6. A method for integrating a plurality of computer applications, comprising:
-
receiving from a requestor a request of a target application, the request including data identifying a target application and a target application service requested by the requester, the request being received at an abstraction layer; and using a Profile Manager in communication with the abstraction layer to receive data identifying the target application, to select a sack and to select which of a plurality of sack content providers to use to interface with an appropriate element given the target application, the plurality of sack content providers in communication with the abstraction layer, the plurality of sack content providers operative to interface with a plurality of elements including at least a first application and at least a first hub. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
