Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates re-locating a web application associated with a network service utilizing a portion of serialized data. The network service can be any collection of resources that are maintained by a party (e.g., third-party, off-site, etc.) and accessible by an identified user over a network (e.g., WAN, Internet, etc.). A receiver component can receive a request for initiating and execution of a process that is maintained by the network service. A servicing component can analyze representations of multiple processes within the network service and determines whether to enable initiation and execution of the process based at least in part upon the analysis.

Claims

1. A system that facilitates isolating a portion of a process associated with a network service, the system comprising:

an interface that receives a request to initialize and execute a portion of data within a network service; and

a servicing component that analyzes the portion of data within the network, the portion of data represents at least a portion of a process representation, the process operates within the network service, the network service provides services for each of a plurality of clients, each client utilizes its own client-specific operating system incorporated into the network service, the client-specific operating system has client-specific characteristics, and the operating system includes at least one complete representation of a portion of the process.

2. The system of claim 1, the client specific operating system is a software program that manages at least one of a hardware resource and a software resource associated with the network service, and wherein the client-specific operating system is initiated within the network service.

3. The system of claim 1, the servicing component detects an error related to the portion of data within the network service, the system further comprising a program isolation component that isolates the portion of data with the detected error within the network from error-free portions of data within the network service.

4. The system of claim 3, the servicing component detects the error related to the portion of data during at least one of a time prior to execution of the portion of data and a time during execution of the portion of data, and the servicing component provides a redundancy check on the process representation to ensure integrity or accuracy.

5. The system of claim 3, the program isolation component executes the portion of data with the detected error in an isolated environment to evaluate the detected error, and wherein a user has a first set of rights with respect to the portion of data in a first state of the operating system and a second set of rights with respect to the portion of data in a second state of the operating system.

6. The system of claim 3, the program isolation component corrects the detected error associated with the portion of data based at least in part upon the evaluation and releases the portion of data out of isolation, wherein the detecting of the error is performed by an intelligent component that is a support vector machine (SVM) that finds a hypersurface in a space of possible inputs related to the portion of data.

7. The system of claim 3, the servicing component executes the portion of data with the detected error with a corrective action which is at least one of a reduced functionality, a downgraded functionality, a reduced state, and a lower priority;

and

each service for each user is run in multiple copies where if the multiple copies for a given service agree the service continues, and if no agreement is established for the given service a corrective action is taken.

8. The system of claim 7, the servicing component detects a potential error with the portion of data and monitors such potential error while the portion of data is executing in an isolated environment within the network service, and each of the multiple copies of each service has its own weight.

9. The system of claim 8, at least one of the detected error related to the portion of data and the potential error with the portion of data is corrected by at least one of a roll back, a roll forward, a quarantine, an isolation, a repair, a deletion of error-related data, a reduced functionality, a multi-machine redundancy technique that provides a recommended action, and an ignore action.

10. The system of claim 9, the multi-machine redundancy technique provides a plurality of machines running independently, wherein each machine recommends an action associated with the portion of data.

11. The system of claim 10, the servicing component implements the recommended action based on a majority of the plurality of machines.

12. The system of claim 10, each of the plurality of machines includes at least one of a priority and a weight.

13. The system of claim 12, the servicing component implements the recommended action based on the majority of at least one of a weight of the plurality of machines and a priority of machines.

19. The system of claim 1, the system further comprising a security component that ascertains which services related to the network service are authorized to execute for each of the plurality of clients.

20. The system of claim 19 wherein the security component granularly performs security with respect to each user as to a portion of the network service and a corresponding collection of services provided to each user.

14. A computer-implemented method that facilitates detecting an error related to portion of data within a network service, the method comprising:

receiving a request associated with initializing and executing a portion of data from a client within a network service, the request from the client is processed independently of a connection status of the client to the network service;

representing a portion of a process with the portion of data by inferring a probabilistic state through the use of a support vector machine; and

analyzing the portion of data within the network service to detect at least one of an error and a potential error.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

analyzing, by a support vector machine, the portion of data prior to execution to detect at least one of the error and the potential error by finding a hypersurface in a space of possible inputs associated with the portion of data; and

analyzing the portion of data during execution to detect at least one of the error and the potential error.

16. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

isolating the portion of data associated with at least one of the error and the potential error from at least one of data free of an error and data free of a potential error;

evaluating the isolated portion of data during execution; and

repairing the portion of data based on the evaluation.

17. The method of claim 14, further comprising a multi-machine redundancy technique that includes a plurality of machines running the portion of data independently and each machine provides a recommended action related to the portion of data.

18. A computer-implemented system that facilitates isolating a portion of a process associated with a network service, the system comprising:

means for receiving a request to initialize and execute a portion of data within a network service, wherein the request is processed independently of a connection status to the network service;

means for analyzing the portion of data within the network using a client-specific operating system incorporated into the network service, the portion of data represents at least a portion of a process; and

means for isolating the portion of data based at least in part upon one of a detected error and a detected potential error.
