    Abstract: A computing services grid. The grid can include a service desk coupled to one or more computing service instances. Each service instance can conform to an interface which is common to all service instances in the grid. A routing component can be disposed in the grid. Specifically, the routing component can route individual service requests to individual ones of the service instances. An instance selection service is used to satisfy QoS characteristics associated with the requester of the service. The grid further can include a service instance monitoring component. The monitoring component can monitor the performance of individual service instances charged with processing individual service requests. Fail-over logic can be configured to re-route service requests from selected service instances to others of the service instances where the monitoring component detects a fail-over condition in the selected service instances. In that regard, fail-over conditions can include error conditions and a performance deficiency conditions in which the performance of a selected service instance lags behind guaranteed levels of performance.

    Abstract: Screens generated by a host application are reformatted for viewing by applying styles to the host screens in response to recognized components included therein. In particular, a system for reformatting a host screen generated by an application and which includes components such as paragraphs or tables, is arranged for determining if an organization of the components in the host screen matches a layout of a reformatted screen associated with one of the predetermined styles, and the reformatted screen is generated automatically by arranging selected components from the host screen according to one of the predetermined styles if the organisation of the components in the host screen matches the layout of the reformatted screen associated with one of the predetermined styles. A terminal emulation data structure may represent a state of interaction in a terminal emulation session provided between a resource and a client, the terminal emulation data structure comprising a first XML tag which represents a present state of interaction between client and resource, a second tag representing output provided by the resource to the client based on the first tag, a third tag representing a next state of interaction between client and resource, and a fourth tag which represents a format for display of data associated with the present state. The interaction can be saved for later execution so that a user can re-apply the same styles to the same host screens in a subsequent session.

    Abstract: A method for dynamically assigning and removing task affinity for a resource is disclosed and claimed. A first interrupt handler recognizes a special task interrupt condition which is generated by the hardware. The interrupt condition is generated because a task attempted to execute a special instruction and either a special resource is attached to the central processing unit which issued the special instruction, or a special resource is not attached to the issuing central processing unit, but could be attached to another central processing unit in a central electronic complex. The first interrupt handler then passes control to a second interrupt handler which determines if execution of the current task can continue. If it can, the second interrupt handler creates or reestablishes a special environment and the task is dispatched (either for the first time or again) with a special dynamic affinity to only those central processing units in the central electronic complex that have a special resource attached. Due to the assignment of special affinity the task is dispatched only on a central processing unit with a special resource attached. The task can be suspended and special affinity removed because of non-use of the special resource over a predetermined period of time. Special affinity is automatically determined following a first-issued special instruction as well as one issued by a task whose special affinity was previously suspended.
