A method for controlling the interoperation of a plurality of software applications and resources includes intercepting communications from a first application to a second application or resource, directing the communication to a context management system, generating a candidate list of contexts for the communication, evaluating the candidate list according to at least one policy defined for these contexts to identify the resultant action and namespace for the communication, and performing the action as defined by the policies within the identified namespace. The method further includes tracking one or more versions of the second application, as well as tracking an evolution of application and/or resource names. The method further includes identifying one or more operations associated with a context on the candidate list, and executing the identified operations prior to a further communication.
A method for defining alternate namespaces for a first application to be executed within other applications or resources, the method comprising:
A system for defining an alternate namespace for an application to be executed within other applications or resources, the system comprising:
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instruction that upon execution on a computing device define an alternate namespace for an application to be executed within other applications or resources, by causing the computing device to at least:
