MANAGEMENT OF DATA FOR INSTALLATION ON A REMOTE DEVICE

摘要

Example embodiments are described that streamline the set up and maintenance of remote devices. A device component (14) may ma a physical device to a user responsibility. A responsibility component (16) may map a user to a user responsibility. A data aggregatio component (20) may gather the data and applications associated with a responsibility by examining the responsibility component (16). The data and applications may include references to additional components including other data and applications needed for the responsibility. The data aggregation component (20) may collect all of the data and applications by following the chain of dependenci associated with the responsibility component. An administrator may consult the data and applications collected in an installation component to determine what data and applications to install on the remote device for the user. In the alternative, an installation component (24) may automatically install the data and applications on the remote device without intervention by the administrator.
