Abstract

Methods are provided for creating a composite program module within a computing ecosystem. The ecosystem comprises physical and / or virtual computing resources of a company, department or other organization. When a user discovers a grouping of modules that is useful to him, the ecosystem or his workspace allows him to create a composite module that comprises the group of modules. He can then access their combined functionality by activating just the composite module, in which case all the modules are automatically opened, without having to activate each one individually. Further, the ecosystem may suggest complementary program modules to a user based on his pattern of activity with one or more other modules. A composite program module may be created to include a suggested complementary module, or just modules discovered independently by the user.

Description

Background technique [0001] The shift away from monolithic, off-the-shelf applications continues unabated. The current emphasis in application development is based on "cloud computing," where the user's computing device does not even need to store or maintain a copy of the application in order to run it. Instead, the application is loaded from a remote location, perhaps across the Internet, an intranet, or some other network. Data manipulated via the application may also be maintained at a location remote from the computing device. [0002] Cloud computing can free users from being limited to using only those applications installed on their computing devices, but cloud computing is not a panacea for all computer users. For example, a user must know what applications he wishes to access, and his device may need to be specially configured to access these applications. He cannot easily discover new applications that are useful for the given task at hand, especially when there ...
