Described herein are methods, systems, and computer program products for seamless interoperability between multiple computing nodes. A server computing device receives, from a first computing node in a plurality of computing nodes, a message for transmission to one or more other computing nodes, the message generated by the first computing node based upon application-specific instructions from a first application on the first computing node, where the plurality of computing nodes is defined as a virtual network at the server computing device and each computing node includes an ensemble module for communicating with the server. The server determines one or more other computing nodes in the virtual network to receive the message. The server transmits the message to the determined one or more other computing nodes, where each of the destination computing nodes formats the message into application-specific instructions for a second application on the determined node. |

1. A system for seamless interoperability between multiple computing devices, the system comprising:
a server computing device having a memory and a processor; and a plurality of computing devices coupled to the server computing device, wherein the plurality of computing devices is defined at the server computing device as a virtual network of nodes and each computing device includes a memory and a processor configured to execute an ensemble module for exchanging ensemble messages with the server computing device; the server computing device configured to:
receive, from a first computing device not currently defined as a node in the virtual network, a request to join the virtual network, the request including authentication credentials and a virtual network identifier corresponding to the virtual network;validate the authentication credentials;define the first computing device as a node in the virtual network based upon the virtual network identifier;transmit, to the first computing device, the ensemble module for execution on the first computing device; andreceive, from the first computing device, an ensemble message for transmission to one or more destination nodes in the virtual network,the ensemble message being generated by a first application on the first computing device that is coupled to the ensemble module on the first computing device via a first application-programming interface and the ensemble message containing application-specific instructions for the first application formatted to be interpretable by the ensemble module,the ensemble message being received by a second application at each of the destination nodes that is coupled to the ensemble module on the destination nodes via a second application-programming interface and the second application formatting the application-specific instructions for the first application into application-specific instructions for the second application,and wherein the ensemble message is agnostic to the first application and the second application. |
