One embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method for appending server-side glossary definitions to transient Web content in a networked computing environment. A glossary database stores a glossary, which includes a plurality of structured records. Each structured record is keyed by a unique identifier derived from a key word and contains a definition associated with the key word. A parser receives Web content, which includes text in transit to a Web client, and parses the text into one or more tokens corresponding to one such key word. A comparator module matches the tokens against each unique identifier in the glossary and retrieves each structured record containing a matching unique identifier. A constructor inserts a hyperlink in place of the text corresponding to each matched token and references the definition contained in the retrieved structured record for the matching unique identifier.

A method for transaction approval includes submitting a transaction approval request from a transaction site to a clearing agency; submitting a user authorization request from the clearing agency to a user device; receiving a response to the user authorization request; and sending a response to the transaction approval request from the clearing agency to the transaction site. Another method for transaction approval includes submitting a transaction approval request from a transaction site to a clearing agency; determining whether a trusted transaction is elected; submitting a user authorization request from the clearing agency to a user device, if a trusted transaction is determined to be elected; receiving a response to the user authorization request from the user device, if the user authentification request was submitted; and sending a response to the transaction approval request from the clearing agency to the transaction site. A system for transaction approval includes a clearing agency for the transaction approval, the clearing agency having a function to request for user authorization; a network operatively coupled to the clearing agency; and a user device adapted to be operatively coupled to the network for trusted transaction approval.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method for managing a computer system performance tuning initiative in a networked computing environment. A submission package including a plurality of individual fields identifying a software application candidate for performance tuning is received. Each field describes a quantifiable aspect of the candidate software application. Each field in the submission package is parsed into normalized content and the parsed content is evaluated for completeness and correctness. Approval of each evaluated submission package for performance tuning is solicited by presenting a percentage reflecting overall completeness and correctness. Tuner sign-up and status and tracking performance tuning progress are monitored following approval of each evaluated submission package. Results from the performance tuning are apprised upon completion.
