    Abstract: Selecting a version of software for a message queuing software product to perform a task. Rules using characteristics of different versions and information describing the task to be performed is select message queuing software product starting with the most preferred version, based on whether the software component is available for use. If a determination is made that none of the rules apply to the task to be performed, the task is performed with the most preferred version of the message queuing software component. This may be carried out by a decision making layer in server-client negotiations for software update releases that may or may not have capability to deal with a message. This process optimizes the setup of message processing, for example using the web services policy framework to advertise policies on security, quality, timestamps and the like, and a consumer service to access appropriate services for example those that are encrypted or signed in a certain way.

    Abstract: The application relates to a method, system and computer program product for locally handling a query statement destined for a wide area network search engine. The method comprises determining possible results provided after querying local network devices in the system. A query statement destined for the wide area network search engine in intercepted and a relevance value(s) for the possible results with regard to the query statement is determined. Relevant results from the local area network devices are returned in response to the query statement if the relevance value is above a threshold. Relevant local devices may be queried in response to the intercepted query statement or the results may be returned from cached results. Only the results from the local networked devices may be returned if the wider area network search engine query times out.
