Abstract
A method for optimally maintaining the execution of a first application, wherein the first application is further configured to received a set of sequential data elements from a second application, and the set of sequential data elements further includes a first data element and a second data element. The method includes establishing a connection between the first application and the second application. The method further includes transmitting a request to send the set of sequential data elements; receiving the first data element from the second application; and determining if the connection is still active. If not, the method also includes reestablishing the connection; transmitting a request to the second application to resend the first data element; receiving the first data element; and, if necessary, receiving the second data element.
