A method, apparatus and program product are provided for identifying common interests between users of a communication network. A program of instruction monitors activity over a communication network by users and identifies interests for users based on network activity. The program of instruction creates semantic networks based on use of the communication network and identifies other users with common interests from the semantic networks. Optionally, social networks may be created or modified by adding other users with common interests as identified by semantic networks.

A method, apparatus, and program product for providing access control in a collaborative environment are provided. A pool of approvable candidates for use in building an access control list for a project team are provided by matching attributes for potential candidates with requirements for the project, with the pool being larger than a projected size for the project team. In response to a vacant role on the project team, an invitation to join the project team is sent to an approvable candidate in the pool. At least one of the access control list or the pool is modified based upon an action by the approvable candidate.

A method and system provides sub-electronic meetings by: providing the main electronic meeting for a group of attendees over a first channel in a network, the main electronic meeting managed by a moderator; sending a request from the moderator to an electronic meeting service to create sub-electronic meetings for a subgroup of attendees; and providing the sub-electronic meeting over a separate second channel in the network for the subgroup, the sub-electronic meeting occurring simultaneously within the main electronic meeting without disconnecting the subgroup from the main electronic meeting. A first graphic user interface (GUI) for the main electronic meeting is provided to each of the group of attendees. A second GUI for the sub-electronic meeting is provided to each of the subgroup of attendees. The subgroup of attendees is able to communicate privately in the sub-electronic meeting while maintaining their view of the main electronic meeting in progress.

An improved solution for dynamically configurable user preferences in a type-ahead hint system is provided. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for providing type-ahead hints includes: receiving an input string; providing a configurable preference interface; obtaining a preference from the interface; and generating at least one type-ahead hint, based upon the input string and the preference.

A method and system for enforcing rule selection on user email inboxes include an inbox monitor and administrative rules at an email server. The inbox monitor includes a first agent for identifying inactive user inboxes from email messages stored at the email database, and a second agent for identifying, from the inactive user inboxes identified by the first agent, user inboxes without appropriate user rules activated. For each user inbox identified by the second agent, administrative rules are applied to the user inbox if the user inbox has been inactive for at least a predetermined period of time. If the user inbox has not been inactive for at least the predetermined period of time, a notification message is sent to a user associated with the user inbox. The notification message informs the user that administrative rules will be applied to the user inbox if appropriate user rules are not activated.

A method, system and computer program product for automatically identifying unique language independent keys. A “key search” is performed which searches for various language independent keys in a properties file associated with a value or text string entered in a first locale. A second locale is suggested to narrow the number of language independent keys displayed in connection with the value entered in the first locale. Upon receiving the value for the second locale, another key search is performed, where this key search is performed on the language independent keys displayed in connection with the first value entered in association with the first locale. A unique language independent key may be identified based on this subsequent key search. By performing key searches and suggesting a second locale to narrow the number of language independent keys, the time in identifying a unique language independent key is reduced and efficiency is improved.

A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for using an interactive progress indicator bar to graphically display, and interact with, the completion status information of a plurality of computer operations before they are completed. An interactive progress indicator bar is implemented in a graphical user interface (GUI) and comprises a plurality of progress indicator segments. As computer operations are completed, the details of their completion status are entered into a computer operation log and indexed to their corresponding progress indicator segments. Concurrently, color attributes are applied to progress indicator segments to graphically indicate the completion status of their associated computer operations. Predetermined levels of completion status details are displayed through a user gesture as the cursor is placed over a computer operation's corresponding progress indicator segment. A contextual level of completion status information is displayed in a computer operation log that is automatically scrolled to the corresponding completion status information.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to instant messaging and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for probabilistic prediction of availability in an instant messaging system. In one embodiment of the invention, a probabilistic prediction method for instant messaging can be provided. The method can include collecting statistics for when different collaborators in an instant messaging system become available and unavailable. Thereafter, a particular one of the different collaborators can be selected and a probabilistic likelihood can be computed that the particular one of the collaborators will become available by a specified time. Finally, the computed probabilistic likelihood can be rendered in association with the particular one of the different collaborators.

A method, a system and a computer program product provide responses to inquiries residing within text processed by an application. An inquiry is identified within text being processed by the application, and a context of the identified inquiry is determined. One or more available data sources is searched to produce a series of responses to the identified inquiry, and the series of responses is evaluated to rank and determine an accuracy level value for each response. The ranked responses along with associated accuracy levels can be displayed.

An approach is provided to improve security of security questions. In the approach, the system prompts a user for a security question. The security question and security answer associated with the security question are received by the system using a user input to the information handling system. Network-accessible data stores, such as social network accounts, are searched for the security answer resulting in search results. The searching results reveal a risk level which is identified by the system. The identified risk level is provided to the user, such as at a display device.
