20090018997 | Method and apparatus for searching a database in two search steps - Search in stocks of data, particularly on optical media, is intended to be optimized in terms of the time required for the search. It is therefore proposed that the search be carried out in two steps. In a first search step, the entire database is scanned on the disk storage medium. In a second search step, executed in parallel, intermediate results from the first search step are searched. This allows the number of skips on a disk to be reduced, which results in increases of speed, particularly in the case of optical drives. | 01-15-2009 |

20090217287 | FEDERATION OF COMPOSITE APPLICATIONS - A predetermined business task of a composite application can be fulfilled. The composite application can include a set of components. The composite application is instantiated by a template means and a predefined collaborative context module controls the interaction of the set of components during the runtime of the composite application. A set of components fulfilling individual services on individual different server systems is leveraged by the composite application. During the instantiation of the composite application from a template, the referenced components (as types) are instantiated leading to runtime instances of these components. The interaction of the different components is controlled on individual different server systems utilizing a primary context module. The primary context module communicates with an appropriate collaborative module implemented locally on the respective set of servers, where the local context modules act as secondary context modules in relation to the primary context modules. For each of the secondary context modules, local components communicate to control the interaction of components. | 08-27-2009 |
20090260021 | WORKFLOW MANAGED COMPOSITE APPLICATIONS - A portal view generation system can receive a request from a user for a portal view of a portal site. The system determines which resources the user can access based on the user's permission level on the resources. The system further determines the user's authentication level. Each of the portal resources the user has permission to access are then vetted based on a minimum authentication level needed to view the resource, and the user's authentication level. Those resources which the user has permission to access, but in insufficient level of authentication are excluded from view. The portal view generation system then generates the code to render navigational elements for the user to access those remaining resources the user has both permission and sufficient authentication level to access. | 10-15-2009 |
