FriedParts Update Service

Overview

The FriedParts Update Service is a tiny Windows Service Application (a system-level process, no GUI) that calls into the the FriedParts Web Service on a periodic basis. This allows the FriedParts Website ("web application" in Web 2.0 speak) to perform maintainence and updates on a periodic basis from within its own local namespace -- the updating business logic code operates in the same scope as the rest of the web app and also resides there simplifying management/upkeep of the maintainence code itself.

FriedParts and this Update Service companion were principally developed by Jonathan Friedman of the Networked and Embedded Systems Lab (NESL) of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
