List of Figures

  1. Harry's application will need different resources in different instances. Games consoles may be a significant platform in Japan long before they become popular in South Africa.
  2. Harry's game needs to evolve smoothly and efficiently as popularity of the game and the various platforms change. Mobile telephony bases need to move to the right location to suit changing demand; games console usage will not grow predictably, but he still needs to be responsive.
  3. A subsystem running on a hosting service. The subsystem may comprise many netlets. The agency which started the subsystem is not shown.
  4. A netlet running on a hosting service, under the management of an application controller. The netlet is running on a particular node, and using a resource supplied by that node under the management of the hosting service.
  5. The same situation as in figure [*], except that the node isn't important and isn't shown.
  6. A Netlet using a service. The access point is downloaded and runs under the same hosting service as the consumer netlet. The service is using a resource from the hosting service. It has been passed that resource by the consumer netlet, through the service interface.
  7. The same situation as in figure [*], in an abbreviated notation.
  8. A service being provided from provider to consumer. There may be multiple service connections and access points involved in the connection.
  9. A typical Jtrix service style application
  10. Reusing an exiting resource if possible.
  11. Functional Overview of Harry's Game
  12. Initial deployment of Harry's Game
  13. Migration to a new HTTP service. The new service can run in parallel to the old during the migration process.
