Abstract:
A solution for managing a set of collaborative contacts is provided. Each collaborative contact includes one or more collaboration capabilities, each of which corresponds to a unique collaboration tool (e.g., voice over IP, instant messaging, email, and/or the like). Identifying text can be used to search the set of collaborative contacts and obtain a set of candidate contacts. An availability status for each collaboration capability of each candidate contact can be requested and a display can be generated that includes the set of candidate contacts. In one embodiment, the display can include an indication of the collaboration capabilities for one or more of the candidate contacts, and/or the availability status for one or more collaboration capabilities. A user can use the display to request a collaboration session between the user and one or more of the candidate contacts.
Abstract:
A system and method of enhancing a profile of a portable device. The system and method includes defining an event type in a scheduling tool and scheduling a time to initiate the event type. The system and method further includes associating a notification profile of a device with the defined event type and changing a setting of the device to the notification profile in response to the scheduling time and the defined event type.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method of ambient ad hoc project management can include defining a project and associating a project decay function with the project, wherein the project decay function regulates a rate at which project health declines. Responsive to detecting a project event, one or more parameters of the project decay function can be determined from the project event. Project health can be calculated according to the project decay function using the parameter(s). An indication of the project health can be output.
Abstract:
A method for providing assets in a collaboration medium includes receiving information from an entity; analyzing the information to identify metadata; searching a system to locate assets relevant to the identified metadata; filtering the assets located on the system according to at least one of a predetermined user profile or a environment profile; sending pointers to the filtered assets on the entity's system to a second entity's system; and displaying pointers to the filtered assets in the collaboration medium.
Abstract:
A message received from a user causes a query of a dynamic database such as a FAQ or Relational Database, the results of the query are returned to the user. Furthermore the received message is published to a community of anonymous users. Optionally the user can edit the returned results and store the edited version in the dynamic database or edit the dynamic database via a GUI interface.
Abstract:
A method for enabling logout from websites includes creating at least one meta-data tag for a web page, where said at least one meta-data tag comprises a logout universal resource locator for the web page; reading the at least one meta-data tag for each web application that a user is logged into; recording the logout universal resource locator in a database; and displaying a name of each web application and the corresponding logout universal resource locator in a graphical user interface.
Abstract:
A technique for personalizing feed content in virtualized computing environments includes accessing, using a data processing system, metadata associated with a virtual machine instance that is stored in a database. The technique also includes prioritizing, using the data processing system, feed content delivered to a client associated with the virtual machine instance based on the metadata.
Abstract:
Publishing electronic messages to clients within a group in a Pub/Sub message publishing environment wherein the group includes authorized participating clients in network communication with a pub/sub service. A client is authenticated for authority to publish messages to a selected group of subscribing clients.
Abstract:
A client subscribes to a pub/sub service, the client comprises an application program for performing an operation on a published message received from a Pub/Sub service. The operation on the message comprises any one of saving the message to storage, accessing a web service based on information in the received message, authorizing subscription, executing an application identified by the message, filtering the message information for presentation to a user, overriding a message function, transforming the message media format or forwarding the message to another node.
Abstract:
A system and method comprising filtering electronic data on a transaction per transaction basis and replicating the filtered electronic data in response to a request to obtain electronic data on the transaction per transaction basis. The system and method further includes providing the filtered replicated electronic data for viewing.
