Abstract:
1. A method for establishing a full end-to-end functionality chain of collaborating network accessible capabilities within a network centric environment, said method comprising: providing a plurality of network accessible capabilities, each having a registered availability and supporting a plurality of individual communication frameworks; identifying, by a software application at a networked platform, the network accessible capabilities that are necessary to implement the end-to-end functionality chain; receiving a first set of data relating to which network accessible capabilities are available at each network node; determining if the network accessible capabilities associated with the first set of data are available based on received responses to the data request; selecting one or more network accessible capability instances for each network accessible capability associated with the first set of data; executing the selected network accessible capability instances in an order that implements the end-to-end functionality chain; and monitoring the one or more network accessible capabilities for a connectivity failure of a first capability instance of the selected network accessible capability instances, wherein a second set of data relating to which necessary network capabilities are available at each network node is received if the connectivity failure of the first capability instance occurs.
