Methods and apparatus for implementing deployment descriptors which are used to deploy modules in an enterprise environment are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for deploying an application using a deployment tool for use on a platform server includes creating the application, creating an application deployment descriptor for the application, packaging the application in an archive, and deploying the application packaged in the archive. Creating the application includes obtaining an application component which has an associated application component deployment descriptor that has information relating to the deployment of the application component. The application deployment descriptor for the application includes information arranged to identify the application component, and packaging the application in an archive includes packaging the application component, the application component deployment descriptor, and the application deployment descriptor. The application packaged in the archive is deployed using the application component deployment descriptor.

A system and method are provided for switching between conversations in instant messaging applications. The instant messaging application is configured for displaying a list of conversations upon detecting selection of the option within a menu or link within the conversation screen and permit navigation to another conversation. The conversations may be prioritized based first on whether the conversation has any unread messages and within the grouping of those conversations having unread messages, may be prioritized based on when the last activity occurred. In this way, the user has easiest access to conversations with the most recent activity with the ability to scroll down the list of conversations to continue an older conversation if desired.

A technique for the remote installation of application software from a source computer system to one or more target computer systems (workstation) coupled to a Local Area Network (LAN). The present invention allows a LAN Administrator to install application software on a user's workstation automatically at any time without user's intervention. The state of (i.e. a snapshot of) the LAN Administrator's system before and after the installation of the application software is captured and an installation package is built. Installation on the user workstations is then scheduled. For installation, the installation package is transmitted to the user workstation where an install program carries out commands in the installation package for installing the application software.

An application program control method based on a two-time signature verification technology is achieved by performing two times of signing and two times of signature verification on application programs on an android terminal. Security detection is performed on the application programs through a reliable third-party security detection mechanism, the application programs passing the detection will be signed by the third-party security detection mechanism, and then the signed applications are returned to developers. When the application programs are installed on the intelligent android terminal, security detection is performed on the application programs first to see whether the application programs are signed by the third-party security detection mechanism or not, and signatures are verified; if signatures of the third-party detection mechanism do not exist or the signatures cannot pass verification, installation of the application programs is refused. Through the technical scheme, the application program control method based on the two-time signature verification technology has the advantages that signature information is fixed through introduction of the third-party detection signatures and a security control module of the android terminal so that secure application programs can be downloaded and installed in an android system through multiple channels, and while security of the android terminal is guaranteed, a flexible and efficient application program verification scheme is provided.

Systems and methods for managing divergence of best effort transactional support mechanisms in various transactional memory implementations using a portable transaction interface are described. This interface may be implemented by various combinations of best effort hardware features, including none at all. Because the features offered by this interface may be best effort, a default (e.g., software) implementation may always be possible without the need for special hardware support. Software may be written to the interface, and may be executable on a variety of platforms, taking advantage of best effort hardware features included on each one, while not depending on any particular mechanism. Multiple implementations of each operation defined by the interface may be included in one or more portable transaction interface libraries. Systems and / or application software may be written as platform-independent and / or portable, and may call functions of these libraries to implement the operations for a targeted execution environment.
