Patent ID: 7849130

Claim:
A method performed by a computing platform comprising: receiving by a computing platform a request for a service to be performed from a service consumer, the request having an information payload upon which the requested service is to be performed; responsive to receipt of the request: decomposing by a computing platform the requested service into a plurality of essential or primitive functions; dynamically composing by a computing platform a sequence of a plurality of service elements corresponding to the plurality of essential or primitive functions to be employed to accomplish the service, wherein the composing employs a function call and return decomposition and recomposition paradigm; creating by a computing platform a control header and information payload, the control header encapsulating the sequence of the plurality of service elements; repeatedly dispatching by a computing platform the control header to each service element in the composed sequence until all service elements have processed the information payload; and responsive to the dispatching so all service elements, returning the processed information payload to the service consumer.
