The recently launched National Health Data Network, which caters to midsized hospitals of 50 to 200 hospital beds, uses a common set of software applications to share clinical and financial information to maximize patient care while holding down the cost of processing claims.
"If you want teams to be as productive and collaborative as they can be then you need to give them a common set of tools and applications to use on a daily basis, and these should integrate as seamlessly as possible with their telephony systems and messaging systems".
JXTA defines a common set of protocols for building P2P applications and discusses the recurrent problem with existing P2P systems of creating incompatible protocols.
Finally, we are increasingly seeing enterprises deploying both internal employee-oriented mobile applications and customer-facing mobile applications from a common set of business resources.
As anticipated, Yahoo is joining the Google-led OpenSocial alliance, which is developing a common set of standards for programmers to create applications that can run on social networks and other sites.
In this paper, we argue for the power of providing a common set of OS services to wide area applications, including mechanisms for resource discovery, a global namespace, remote process execution, resource management, authentication, and security.
Neo4j builds tools for creating graph databases, and today at its GraphConnect conference in New York City, it announced a new platform for developers to build graph-based applications using a common set of services.
Moreover, the CM solves the problem of integrating different software pieces produced by different programmers but developed following a common set of rules, since it provides a common Application Programming Interface (API) that eases the control of the execution cycle, the statistics collection method, and the interprocess communication among software modules running on different machines.
JXTA has a common set of open protocols backed with open source reference implementations for developing peer-to-peer applications.
A simple algorithmic solution to the problem of minimizing a quadratic function over the common set of fixed points of a family of nonexpansive mappings is of extreme value in many applications including set theoretic signal estimation (see [7, 8]).
