Claim Text:
1. A method for prioritized application component distribution, the method comprising the steps of: detecting a deployment event requiring deployment of an application component to communicatively coupled client computing devices, the deployment event indicating a need to deploy at least one of an enhancement and a upgrade of a distributed application; determining selected ones of the client computing devices requiring the application component in response to detecting the deployment event; retrieving prioritization data from a data store for the selected ones of the client computing devices determined to require the application component; and, selectively deploying the application component to the selected ones of the client computing devices based upon the prioritization data determined according to an association between said selected one of the client computing devices and selected computing processes that are affected by the application component, so that the selected ones of the computing devices with a higher priority of receiving application components according to the prioritization data receive the application component before others of the computing devices.
