The concepts herein address a communication network for managing user identifiers of users accessing data applications on at least two different networks each accessible through a service provider, and providing a seamless sign on when accessing a data application from a mobile station. A wireless communication network links a mobile station with a data application on the wireless network, and a user accessing the data application from the mobile station is identified by a user identifier entered by the user. A communication network other than a wireless communication network links a user interface other than a mobile station with a data application on the other communication network, and the user accessing the data application from the user interface is identified by the user identifier entered by the user. A computer system is in communication with data applications of the wireless communication network and with the other communication network. The computer system facilitates user sign-on capabilities to the data applications from the mobile station and the user interface with the same user identifier. If accessing the data application from the wireless communication network, a computer system leverages authentication information from the Home Location Register for authenticating and authorizing access to the data application for seamless sign-on.

Target systems combining a number of different processors, for example a general-purpose processor (GP) and at least one co-processor (COP), or alternatively two or more co-processors (COPA, COPB, COPC), allow combining flexibility and speed for execution of a set of functions. The design of such target systems requires partitioning of a specification in a part to be implemented by the general-purpose processor and a part to be implemented by a co-processor, or into several parts to be implemented by different co-processors. The present invention describes a method for partitioning a specification in a source code. In a first step, the specification 301 is converted into a plurality of abstract syntax trees 101. In a second step, the plurality of abstract syntax trees 101 is partitioned into at least a first set 201 and a second set 203. The first set of abstract syntax trees 201 is to be implemented by a first processor (GP, COPA) and the second set of abstract syntax trees 203 is to be implemented by a second processor (COP, COPB). The first 201 and second set 203 of abstracts syntax trees can both be translated to a specification in the original source code language 309 and 311, respectively, allowing the user to add manual changes 305 and 307 to the specifications 309 and 311. Furthermore, specific compiler tools as well as specific design tools can be used to convert the specifications 309 and 311 into corresponding executable machine code 315 and a specification of the co-processor 319, for example.
