A server receives image, graphic and / or analytic data and processes and asynchronously outputs that data to a thin / no client. The server inputs image data in a variety of different formats and renders a normalized format that can be streamed to the thin / no client using light-weight protocol(s). The server updates the image, feature and / or analytic data in real time. The server inputs feature, analytic, business logic and other data and process it into various format(s) that can be streamed to the thin / no client and overlaid on the image data. The server provides application services, which can include collaboration, tracking, alerting, business, workflow and / or other desired services. The server can receive collaboration data from one thin / no client and stream that collaboration data to other thin / no clients to enable shared situational awareness between the thin / no clients. The server includes a programming environment for programming thin / no clients contained within server-based web pages.

Systems, methods, and devices are described for an application independent DEX / UCS interface (AIDI). The AIDI is a “plug and play” DEX / UCS solution that removes the requirement for developers to know the structure, function, and format of DEX / UCS transaction sets and to make the DEX / UCS process independent from the existing business logic of many mobile applications.

Systems and methods for customizing business logic rules within a business process automation system and for processing business logic rules in a business process automation system are disclosed. The method for customizing business rules of a business logic application generally comprises serving a content page to a client browser of a client by a server that allows entering and modifying of data relating to a business logic rule, generating data by the server according to a predefined format such as a predefined XML format from information received via the content page, and automatically committing the generated data in the predefined format into a database. Preferably, a verification process such as by using DTDs (Document Type Definitions) is performed by the server prior to committing the data. The database stores data including data relating to business logic rules for implementing business logic as entries in the database and the generated data is committed into a corresponding entry in the database. Upon committing, the committed database business rule entry is ready for execution by the business logic application.

Embodiments of systems and methods model and generate open reusable, business components for Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) from existing client / server applications. Applications are decomposed into business component frameworks with separate user interface, business logic, and event management layers to enable service-oriented development of new enterprise applications. Such layers are re-assembled through an open standards-based, Native Application Services (NAS) to render similar or near identical transactional functionality within a new application on an open platform, without breaking former production code, and without requiring a change in an end-user's business processes and / or user experience. In addition, the same separated layers may form re-usable business components at any desired level of granularity for re-use in external composite applications through industry-standard interfaces, regardless of usage, context, or complexity in the former Client / Server application.

The present invention enables a content provider to dynamically assemble content at the edge of the Internet, preferably on content delivery network (CDN) edge servers. Preferably, the content provider leverages an “edge side include” (ESI) markup language that is used to define Web page fragments for dynamic assembly at the edge. Dynamic assembly improves site performance by catching the objects that comprise dynamically generated pages at the edge of the Internet, close to the end user. The content provider designs and develops the business logic to form and assemble the pages, for example, by using the ESI language within its development environment. Instead of being assembled by an application / web server in a centralized data center, the application / web server sends a page template and content fragments to a CDN edge server where the page is assembled. Each content fragment can have its own cacheability profile to manage the “freshness” of the content. Once a user requests a page (template), the edge server examines its cache for the included fragments and assembles the page on-the-fly.

Various embodiments of the present invention utilize different means to separate the business logic of a system from the data access logic so that different types of data stores can be used without changing the business logic.
