A services and application controller (“SAC”) is provided for digital electronic devices. The SAC includes four interfaces which respectively interact with four different environments, namely an application interface that interacts with application environments and applications, an extension interface that interacts with engines and enablers, a platform interface that interacts with device platform environments, and a service and network interface that interacts with services and service infrastructures and with networks.

Entity identity information and location identity information are sensed and made available to subscriber applications through a secure location-aware services infrastructure, thereby allowing for the creation of location-based services. Information detected by a sensor is passed to an interface aggregator for conversion to a standardized format and then forwarded to location registers for the domain of the sensors. Subscriber applications query the registers to determine which entities are in a particular location and to determine the location of entities. By unifying diverse sensing technologies, location information can be simultaneously obtained on varying degrees of granularity. In addition, the system is scalable to large scenarios by using a plurality of sensors, interface aggregators, and registers.

In a conventional managed information environment network, event notification mechanisms typically monitor the various nodes and interconnections in the network. In particular configurations of the invention, an event service infrastructure allows an event, or class definition, to define the event and related event data. Invocation of the event includes only the event specific class definition. The infrastructure transparently processes the subsequent reporting and invocation of the appropriate event handler. The event handler, corresponding to the event definition, performs remedial and responsive processing of the event. A developer need only develop entities to subscribe to an event to identify the appropriate handler, and publish the event with any related event data upon detection. Each particular event avoids extraneous event definitions and associated files, thereby relieving the developer from unrelated events and allowing focus on the pertinent events. A detecting software entity initiates event handling by publishing the event, upon which the event service identifies and invokes each subscriber entity for performing the event handler associated with the event.

Complex software systems often require time-based processing, such as delayed or periodic timer event handling. A timer service provides an Application Programming Interface (API) for managing timers, and therefore provides a developer abstraction for representing time-based processing. In operation, the timer service infrastructure employs a plurality of timer events, each having a corresponding timer handler, in which each of the timer events is associated with a generic timer reference, employed by a timer interface. The generic reference, therefore, may refer to any of the plurality of timers. The timer service may disable, or passivate modules including subscribers having timer handlers without disrupting timer continuity and invocation. Upon timer expiration, the timer service enables modules having subscribers to the timer. The timer service therefore seamlessly enables inactive modules upon timer expiration. Further, the common generic timer reference avoids timer event specific stubs and references related to specific classes, which tend to complicate deployment.

A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer usable program code are provided for instantiating a service on a network. A service infrastructure manager determines whether a service is available at a requested quality of service in response to receiving a request for the service that specifies the quality of service. The service infrastructure manager performs an analysis of components associated with the service to identify resources needed to create the service in response to the service being unavailable at the requested quality of service. Based on the analysis, the service infrastructure manager allocates resources to support the service and instantiates the service at the requested quality of service after the resources have been allocated.
