AERCLOUD APPLICATION EXPRESS AND AERCLOUD APPLICATION EXPRESS LAUNCHER

摘要

A system and method in accordance with the present invention provides an enablement platform for building web-based applications for capture, analysis and use of device data using computing resources and data storage and management capabilities of hosted web services. The enablement platform works in two steps: first, for creating new instances of compute resources at a hosted service by collecting the required information and feeding it to the necessary hosted services pages; and second, for developing production-ready web-based applications for capture, analysis and use of data from M2M devices. In an embodiment, the application is used with a web-based hosted data storage, management and publication service. First step is a single page application running at a website that collects all of the required information and feeds it to the necessary hosted services pages in the background. The second step helps users to develop production-ready M2M applications using an Application Programming Interface (API) and easy to use software components (widgets) provided on an “out of the box” basis at the application specific user interface.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by an application controller executing on one or more first virtual machines of a cloud computing platform and from a development environment executing on a client device, a web application, the web application being compatible with a runtime environment available from the cloud computing platform; submitting, by the application controller and to a service provider executing on one or more second virtual machines of the cloud computing platform, a request for available services of the cloud computing platform, wherein the service provider includes a plurality of application components; receiving, by the application controller from one or more application components of the service provider, application data for one or more available services of the cloud computing platform; receiving, by the application controller from the development environment executing on the client device, a user selection of a particular available service of the one or more available services of the cloud computing platform; binding, by the application controller, the selected available service to the web application, including editing the web application to insert at least a portion of the received application data for the selected available service into the web application; and packaging, by the application controller, the edited web application into a web application deployment package.
