Systems and methods for metadata-driven command processor and structured program transfer protocol

A system for facilitating on-demand delivery and processing of one or more programs and program-compatible applications, the system comprising:

• a first machine comprising at least one hardware processor and a first metadata-driven command processor;
• and
• a first agent;
• wherein the first metadata-driven command processor initiates sending of a first request dataset for a booting program and application to the first agent, wherein the first request dataset comprises an identification of a resource;
• wherein, in response to the first request dataset, the first agent
• invokes the identified resource to generate a booting program dataset that defines the booting program and an application dataset that defines the application,
• generates a first response dataset, wherein the first response dataset comprises two or more nested datasets, wherein the two or more nested datasets comprise at least the booting program dataset and the application dataset, and
• returns the first response dataset;
• wherein the first metadata-driven command processor
• receives the first response dataset,
• copies the booting program dataset and the application dataset from the first response dataset into a first process dataset comprising two or more nested datasets, and
• processes the first process dataset to execute the booting program and the application on the first machine;
• and
• wherein each of the first request dataset, the first response dataset, the booting program dataset, the application dataset, and the first process dataset comprises a representation of a two-dimensional array of element values configured to be referenced by row and column indices.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon:

• a first metadata-driven command processor comprising a first set of instructions;
• and
• an agent comprising a second set of instructions;
• wherein the first metadata-driven command processor initiates sending of a first request dataset for a booting program and application to the first agent, wherein the first request dataset comprises an identification of a resource;
• wherein, in response to the first request dataset, the first agent
• invokes the identified resource to generate a booting program dataset that defines the booting program and an application dataset that defines the application,
• generates a first response dataset, wherein the first response dataset comprises two or more nested datasets, wherein the two or more nested datasets comprise at least the booting program dataset and the application dataset, and
• returns the first response dataset;
• wherein the first metadata-driven command processor
• receives the first response dataset,
• copies the booting program dataset and the application dataset from the first response dataset into a first process dataset comprising two or more nested datasets, and
• processes the first process dataset to execute the booting program and the application on the first machine;
• and
• wherein each of the first request dataset, the first response dataset, the booting program dataset, the application dataset, and the first process dataset comprises a representation of a two-dimensional array of element values configured to be referenced by row and column indices.
