Abstract

System, device, method, and computer program and computer program products for providing communicating between devices having similar or dissimilar characteristics and facilitating seamless interoperability between them. Computer program software and methods of and systems and devices for sharing of content, applications, resources and control across similar and dissimilar permanently or intermittently connected electronic devices. Devices, systems, appliances, and the like communicating and/or interoperating within the framework provided. A recruitment interoperability method and model provide an alternative to the conventional client-server and peer-to-peer device interoperability models. Recruitment is used by a software application package to forms teams of devices based on their capabilities and content and then intelligently spread portions of itself to the teams of devices which then work together to carry out the intended purpose of the application package.
