Patent ID: 8904343

Claim:
A computer system coupling computer application platforms to introduce additional application services, the system comprising: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions, which when executed from the memory, cause the processor to: run a first process of an operation system and a second process of the operation system, wherein the first process of the operation system is separate from the second process of the operation system, run an application platform within the first process of the operation system to provide at least one resource selected from an application and an infrastructure service hosted by the application platform, run an extension platform in the second process of the operation system to host at least one application service to execute a business process, in the second process, instantiate a resource adapter to intercept a service request at the extension platform, and to route the intercepted service request to the at least one resource provided by the application platform for execution, wherein the execution of the intercepted service request at the at least one resource provided by the application platform changes a status of the business process executed at the at least one application service hosted by the extension platform, expose at least one interface to enable remote administration of the at least one application service hosted by the extension platform, wherein the administration is performed from the application platform, wherein generate a design of an application service in the software component model at the extension platform by utilizing artifacts of the application platform, wherein the application service to execute a business process, wherein store content of the design of the application service to a process, wherein store content of the design of the application service to a process content storage at the application platform, wherein the design of the application service includes one or more process definitions, and wherein activate the design of the application service at the extension platform, using a software logistics mechanism provided at the application platform, to execute the one or more process definitions of the component design to provide the application service.
