Abstract:
A method to selectively use an Application Process to both access information, and to access and interact with Minor Services that have been referenced in the representation of the application program for the recorded Application Process comprising the steps:a) selecting registered Minor Services and registered communication primitives by chosen criteria; b) determining which selected Minor Services and communication primitives are presently loaded; c) loading said selected Minor Services and said selected communication primitives that are not already loaded; and d) connecting said Application Process with said loaded minor services using said loaded communication primitives, when the Application Process requires interaction with said selected Minor Services; wherein said application process includes a stub Thread Communication Service, said stub Thread Communication Service comprising: Accepting request from said application process; and Communicating to Thread Communication Service application process said request on behalf of said application process; and wherein said Thread Communication Service application process comprises: (a) Selecting registered Minor Services and registered communication primitives by chosen criteria; (b) Determining which selected Minor Services and communications primitives are currently loaded; (c) Loading said selected Minor Services and said communication primitives that are not already loaded; and (d) Connecting said application process with said loaded Minor Services using said loaded communication primitives, when the application process requires interaction with said selected Minor Service.
