Abstract:
1. A method for provisioning an application to a target server machine connected to a master server via a communications network, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, at said master server, a parameterized application model (PAM) of said application, wherein said PAM is received from a database associated with said master server and comprises: receiving, at said master server, parameterized application configuration information associated with said application; receiving, at said master server, an environmental characteristic corresponding to said variable of said parameterized application model; creating, at said master server, a data model for said application based on said parameterized application model, said parameterized application configuration information, and said environmental characteristic; creating, at said master server, a set of instructions based on said data model and executable by said target server machine; and providing said set of instructions from said master server to said target server machine via said communications network, wherein provisioning allows said application to operate without said master server.
