Abstract:
A sphere is displayed on an interactive graphical user interface with a central circular disk that represents a current computer system, and a second circular disk that represents a second computer system as part of the sphere positioned parallel above or below the central circular disk. A current tag representing a first resource stored in a current storage of the current computer system is displayed on the interactive graphical user interface on a surface of the central circular disk. A second tag representing a second resource stored in a second storage of the second computer system is displayed on the interactive graphical user interface on a surface of the second circular disk.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of network computing, and in particular to method and system for designing a Web Portal including a hierarchical structure of portal pages and portlets for accessing Web contents accessible via the Portal. In order to increase the user comfort, a context exchange mechanism is includes defining a storage area for a single thread of processing by multiple applets on the Web portal, listening to events fired by each of the applets used by a user during processing by the multiple applets, collecting and storing the information associated with the listened to events in the storage area, wherein a piece of information is stored as a pair of an attribute and an attribute value, clustering the stored information into multiple different attributes, and propagating the clustered information automatically into the multiple applets.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method and system for managing context information in a web portal or enterprise portal comprising a hierarchical structure of portal pages and portlets for accessing web content or enterprise content accessible via the portal. A method for collecting context information based on user behavior and using the collected context information within the web portal environment, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: sensing context information during navigation of a user when the user is interacting with the portal elements; automatically storing, using a context producer component, context information in a context storage device accessible to the context producer component, wherein the context information is organized according to a queryable ontological context model managed by a context service component, which context model stores the context information according to semantic features; and automatically interacting with the context service component, using a context consumer component, wherein the context service component distributes specific context information to the context consumer component based on coincidence of semantic identity or similarity between a stored semantic feature and a semantic feature processable by the context consumer component.
Abstract:
A method for differential rendering a portal page that includes a plurality of page elements (10, 12, 14) and refreshing the portal page. The method includes providing a complete portal page (20, 22). A request for the portal page is then sent and/or received (28). The request can represent user events. In a next step, page elements (10, 12, 14) of the portal page to be updated are identified (30, 31) on the basis of the user events. A page delta is then calculated (32), wherein each page element (10, 12, 14) is associated with a refresh policy depending on the semantics of the respective page element (10, 12, 14). The page delta can include the markup elements of the page elements to be updated. Next the page delta is transferred (34) to the existing portal page and merged (40) with the existing portal page.
Abstract:
A portal server comprises memory, a profile manager, a profile selector, and a profile initiator. The profile manager is configured to manage a plurality of profile records in a profile database. The profile selector is configured to select at least one of the plurality of profile records based on context data collected at a client and context data collected at the portal server. The collected context data corresponds to particular user interaction activity with the portal server. The profile initiator is configured to adapt a user interface based on the profile selected by the profile selector.
Abstract:
Method, system, and computer program product for instantiating a template in a composite application infrastructure. A template that describes a composite application having a plurality of application components is created. The template includes a composite application component assembly descriptor which lists each application component of the composite application. The template is stored in a template library. The composite application is instantiated using the template for creating at least one composite application instance. In an application instance registry, composite application instance(s) and instance information related to the composite application instance(s) is/are registered. The composite application instances are transiently represented in the application instance registry by a respective table entry without creating a real object. The real object that is dynamically created represents a particular composite application instance during a composite application usage session. At an end of the composite application usage session, the particular unused composite application instance is removed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to method for exchanging portlet configuration data. The method includes: providing a graphical user interface (GUI) component as part of a portlet view provided by a portal page for triggering a portlet configuration exchange process between a first user using a first portlet instance and a second user using a second portlet instance within the same portal, the first and second portlet instances being of the same portlet type, providing an export functionality allowing access to stored portlet configuration data of the first portal instance and transforming the stored portlet configuration data into a data structure for exchange purposes, allowing for exchange of the data structure via a defined communication channel between the first user and the second user, and providing an import functionality allowing for parsing of the data structure to provide new portlet configuration data of the second portlet instance and storing the new portlet configuration data of the second portlet instance.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of network computing, and in particular to method and system for designing a Web Portal comprising a hierarchical structure of portal pages and portlets for accessing Web contents accessible via the Portal. For offering improved web application navigation it is proposed to perform the steps of: a) during navigation of a user in the topology of said web portal automatically sensing (520, 525) information about the navigational behavior of said user for each page comprised of said navigation, b) deriving (530) page hits and page target hits from said sensed information, wherein page hits are defined for pages clicked for reaching another page, and page target hits are defined for pages a user clicks in order to perform a page-specific task or to receive some page-specific information, c) using a predefined metric based on said sensed information for generating a utility ranking for the web pages comprised of the user navigation, d) tracking (620) the current navigational position during said user's navigation, e) calculating for said current position and a plurality of target pages a probability measure to navigate to a respective one of said target pages, wherein said target pages are obtained by said utility ranking, f) calculating (670) an expected saving factor for each target page based on said target page utility and on the navigational distance between said current page and said target page, g) defining (675) at least one shortcut including the respective direct link to at least one of the target pages having a high expected saving factor, h) displaying (680) said short cut as a clickable link to said user.
