Application software (app for short) is software designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user. Examples of an application include a word processor, a spreadsheet, an accounting application, a web browser, an email client, a media player, a file viewer, an aeronautical flight simulator, a console game or a photo editor. The collective noun application software refers to all applications collectively. This contrasts with system software, which is mainly involved with running the computer.
System and Method for Utilizing Available Best Effort Hardware Mechanisms for Supporting Transactional Memory
ActiveUS20090282386A1Reduce difficultyReduce overheadSpecific program execution arrangementsMemory systemsTransactional memoryApplication software
Systems and methods for managing divergence of best effort transactional support mechanisms in various transactional memory implementations using a portable transaction interface are described. This interface may be implemented by various combinations of best effort hardware features, including none at all. Because the features offered by this interface may be best effort, a default (e.g., software) implementation may always be possible without the need for special hardware support. Software may be written to the interface, and may be executable on a variety of platforms, taking advantage of best effort hardware features included on each one, while not depending on any particular mechanism. Multiple implementations of each operation defined by the interface may be included in one or more portable transaction interface libraries. Systems and / or application software may be written as platform-independent and / or portable, and may call functions of these libraries to implement the operations for a targeted execution environment.

Web application internationalization
InactiveUS7784026B1Eliminate needEasy constructionExecution for user interfacesMemory systemsMeta levelWeb page
A system and method is described for internationalization of web pages by extracting translatable content from extensible mark-up language (XML), or similar data-centric meta-language representations of web pages or data used to build web pages. The extracted translatable content is stored in a translation task repository (TTR) accessible by the web developer and the translator. The XML representation is then modified to include selection control logic to select the appropriate translations for insertion into the final web page. The translator accesses the TTR to translate the appropriate content and saves the translations back to the TTR associated with the original translatable data. The translations are obtained from the TTR as selection cases for the selection control logic of the XML representation. As the XML is converted into the web source code, the selection logic and translations are embedded therein facilitating building the web site in multiple different languages.
