EDGE COMPUTING PLATFORM FOR DELIVERY OF RICH INTERNET APPLICATIONS

摘要

An edge computing platform that provides on-demand delivery of Rich Internet Applications and other applications is disclosed. One embodiment includes an optional manager node and content distribution network (CDN) that include one or more compute nodes. The CDN collects information pertaining to execution of a software application. The CDN aggregates the information and transfers the aggregated information to the manager node. The manager node analyzes the information from the CDN and transfers results of the analysis to the CDN. The CDN receives a software application that is designed to be dynamically updated when executed at the clients. The CDN modifies the software application based on the information from the manager node. The CDN receives a request that pertains to the software application from a client device. The CDN transfers at least a portion of the modified software application to the client.
