Abstract

A memory-resident stored system for storing data associated with a plurality of collaborating computer processes, wherein selected ones of the computer processes collaborate with other ones of the collaborating computer processes. Included instructions for dynamically establishing a hierarchical organization relating to a plurality of nodes. Each of the nodes establishes a path with at least selected ones of the plurality of collaborating computer processes. Instructions operate to describe a plurality of the paths according to the hierarchical organization for generating a plurality of hierarchical path descriptions between selected ones of the plurality of nodes and the at least selected ones of the plurality of collaborating computer processes. Instructions also accommodate communicating with the communications network server, the plurality of hierarchical paths descriptions for permitting transient storage of data in describing the path between the nodes and the plurality of collaborating computer processes.
