ABSTRACT:
Provided are methods, systems and devices for localizing data existing on a distributed network which comprises receiving an instruction within a programmable logic device (“PLD”) for controlling a network peripheral from a client computing system, the PLD being in communication with the network peripheral via a modem and also in communication with the computing device via a generic interface and receiving a task request from the computing device via the generic interface to be accomplished according to the instruction. The methods, systems and devices further provide for augmenting the task request with an additional instruction provided by a meta-behavior interface.
