Tunable engine and program product for resolving prerequisites for client devices in an open service gateway initiative (OSGi) framework
First Claim
1. A tunable prerequisite resolution engine for client devices in an Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) framework, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory, the memory including;
a prerequisite computation system for determining, on a server, necessary prerequisites for one or more OSGi bundle(s) to be run on a client device;
a bundle identification system for identifying possible combinations of OSGi bundles on the server that fulfill any of the necessary prerequisites that are lacking from the client device;
a data access system for accessing a configuration corresponding to the client device, wherein the configuration sets forth computer resource types, and corresponding normalization factors and importance factors for the client device; and
a bundle selection system for selecting a final combination of OSGi bundles from the possible combinations of OSGi bundles by processing the configuration and computing based on amounts of the computer resources needed by each of the possible combinations of OSGi bundles, the bundle selection system further comprising;
an amount determination system for determining amounts of the computer resources needed by each of the possible combinations of OSGi bundles;
a product determination system for determining products for each of the possible combinations of OSGi bundles by multiplying each of the amounts by the corresponding normalization factors and importance factors set forth in the configuration;
a score determination system for determining a composite score for each of the possible combinations of OSGi bundles by summing the corresponding products; and
a bundle system for selecting the final combination of OSGi bundles from the possible combinations of OSGi bundles based on the composite scores.

Abstract
Under the present invention, each client device will have a corresponding configuration that is accessible to the server. Each configuration sets forth various computer resources as well as corresponding normalization and importance factors for the associated client device. If a certain OSGi bundle is to be loaded and run on a particular client device, certain prerequisites (e.g., services packages, etc.) will likely be necessary. Any prerequisites that the client device lacks will be obtained using potential combinations of other OSGi bundles registered with the server. The most appropriate combination of OSGi bundles will be selected from the possible combinations by processing the configuration based on the amounts of computer resources of the client device that will be consumed by each of the possible combinations.

12. A program product stored on a data storage medium for automatically resolving prerequisites for client devices in an Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) framework, the program product comprising program code, which when executed, performs:
-
determining, on a server, necessary prerequisites for an OSGi bundle to be run on a client device; determining possible combinations of OSGi bundles on the server that fulfill any of the necessary prerequisites that are lacking from the client device; accessing a configuration corresponding to the client device, wherein the configuration sets forth computer resource types and corresponding normalization factors and importance factors for the client device; and selecting a final combination of OSGi bundles from the possible combinations of OSGi bundles by processing the configuration based on amounts of the computer resources needed by each of the possible combinations of OSGi bundles, wherein the selecting further comprises; determining amounts of the computer resources needed by each of the possible combinations of OSGi bundles; determining products for each of the possible combinations of OSGi bundles by multiplying each of the amounts by the corresponding normalization factors and importance factors set forth in the configuration; determining a composite score for each of the possible combinations of OSGi bundles by summing the corresponding products; and selecting the final combination of OSGi bundles from the possible combinations of OSGi bundles based on the composite scores. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
