Patent Document ID: 8756611
Application ID: 12962612

Base Claim:
1. A method, comprising: monitoring, at a context tracking device, application context changes comprising runtime changes to values of referenced application definitions associated with instantiated applications, where the referenced application definitions represent application context dependencies for the instantiated applications; evaluating, in response to each of a plurality of application context changes to the values of the referenced application definitions, relationship context dependency properties that define dynamic runtime-assignable information comprising inter-relationships between the instantiated applications and application associations with application resources used by the instantiated applications, comprising: evaluating a context object associated with each instantiated application, where each context object comprises a configuration object of another instantiated application; scanning the referenced application definitions associated with each instantiated application for context-based dynamic relationship definitions; identifying variables referenced within the context-based dynamic relationship definitions associated with each instantiated application; and identifying any referenced variables that depend upon context objects of at least one other instantiated application; determining that at least one relationship context dependency property that is used by at least one of the instantiated applications has changed as a result of an application context change; and updating during runtime the at least one relationship context dependency property based upon the application context change, where the at least one of the instantiated applications continues execution using the updated at least one relationship context dependency property.

Claim 5:
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising delaying, in response to instantiation of an application, evaluation of at least one relationship context dependency property without an associated context object within a current application context that is useable to evaluate the relationship context dependency properties.
