摘要： A system for planning meeting attendance. The system includes a computer processor configured to receive from a meeting requestor a request to schedule a proposed meeting at a time interval. The computer processor is further configured to calculate an attendance probability value for a potential attendee based, at least in part, on the potential attendee's location over time. Additionally, the computer processor is configured to mark an electronic calendar of the meeting requestor with an indicia of the attendance probability value for the potential attendee. The computer processor may also be configured to automatically schedule the proposed meeting if the attendance probability value is beyond an attendance probability threshold.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for aggregating Internet addresses (e.g., Uniform Resource Locators (URLs)) in a networked computing environment. In a typical embodiment, a set of URLs is received (e.g., by a system/engine). Upon receipt, a composite URL comprising at least portions of each received URL is generated and associated with a newly generated web page. The received set of URLs are displayed on the web page in a list, or the like, that may be sorted according to a set of criteria.

摘要： Methods, services, program products and devices are provided for user-defined configuration of a rendering of a virtual universe domain environment. A first user of a virtual universe domain environment selects or defines an artifact tag comprising rendering data and a protocol for applying the tag to an artifact of the virtual universe domain, the protocol comprising a compliance prerequisite for rendering the tag information to another second user of the virtual universe domain environment. A first user requesting application of a tag to an artifact item within the virtual universe domain, causes a setting or updating of a protocol compliance value. An avatar of another, second user engaging the artifact item causes a virtual universe client of the engaging second user avatar to render the item to the second user in compliance with the tag rendering data if a set or updated compliance value meets a compliance prerequisite.

摘要： During performance of a specified computing task data concerning resource consumption regarding that specified computing task is gathered and stored. Upon completion of the specified computing task, the amount of carbon offset required to compensate for resource consumption associated with performance of the completed specified computing task is calculated based upon stored or known resource consumption data. The calculated amount of carbon offset information may be transmitted to a carbon offset function provider, and a carbon offset function provider implements the specified amount of carbon offset based upon the calculated amounts communicated for the completed specified computing task.

摘要： The present invention is directed to attaching an external virtual universe to an existing virtual universe. A method for enhancing a preexisting virtual universe (VU) in a computerized system may include providing an external virtual universe in a second computerized system, where the external virtual universe is configured so as to be attachable to the first, preexisting virtual universe. As a result, residents of virtual universes can create, run, and/or host their real estate, inventory items, and/or avatars (including all necessary geometries, textures, scripts, etc.) using their own computing devices, which may be inserted, attached, and detached from the VU grid.

摘要： Described herein are processes and devices that coalesced and/or collapse areas in a region of a virtual universe to conserve computing resources. Some embodiments are directed to detecting an indication to reduce usage of a computing resource in the virtual universe and, in response, determining the first area of the virtual universe for coalescing and collapsing into the second area of the virtual universe. In some embodiments, the first area comprises a plurality of virtual universe objects. Some embodiments are further directed to selecting a first set of the plurality of virtual universe objects for moving from the first area into the second area, coalescing the first set of the plurality of virtual universe objects into the second area from the first area, and, in response, collapsing the first area of the virtual universe.

摘要： An approach for allocating computing resources based on a confidence level associated with responses to queries is provided. In a typical embodiment, a query is received from a querying user, and a search for a response to the query is conducted. A confidence level associated with the response is then determined. If the confidence level of the response does not meet a predetermined threshold, additional computing resources are allocated, and the search and corresponding response are updated (e.g., iteratively). An updated confidence level based on the updated response is then determined. Once the predetermined threshold has been met by the confidence level of the response, the response can be returned to the querying user.

摘要： An approach that provides a seamless conversation service between interacting environments is described. In one embodiment, there is a seamless conversation service tool that includes a conversation commencement component configured to facilitate commencement of a conversation between two or more parties occurring over a communication path in one of two or more interacting environments. A user context monitoring component is configured to monitor a user context associated with the conversation. A user context change identification component is configured to identify a change in the user context of the conversation. A conversation transfer component is configured to transfer the conversation between the two or more interacting environments in response to the identified change in the user context, while maintaining a transparency of functionality of the communication path.
