Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to audio stream management in an audio conferencing server and provide a method, system and computer program product for balancing audio server loadability and audio server scalability based upon monitored resource consumption. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for balancing audio server loadability and audio server scalability based upon monitored resource consumption can be provided. The method can include monitoring computing conditions in an audio conferencing server receiving encoded audio packets from coupled Internet Protocol (IP) audio clients and routing the encoded audio packets as audio streams to the IP audio clients, and responsive to detecting deteriorating computing conditions in the audio conferencing server, reducing a number of the audio streams forwarded to the IP audio clients by the audio conferencing server.

A highly scalable and highly responsive RTC system uses asynchronous or non-blocking I/O and HTTP response queuing to avoid server overload. The system distinguishes between two types of requests: an update request and a change request. An update request is a request used to fetch an update or change notification. A change request is a request to change some data related to the real-time session. For a given RTC session, the server first checks whether any updates exist for an update request. If an update exists, the server code can send an immediate response to the client. However, if no update exists, the server code application sets a well-defined HTTP response header, and then responds. Once the server code application responds, all application server resources are freed, and the application server is free to handle the next requests without blocking any thread. The existence of the well-defined response header, allows the lower level networking code to queue the response, allowing it to be later addressed by the RTC session ID. This way, the HTTP response can be delayed (queued) without blocking a thread in the application server. A Change Request is a request used to change some data related to the real-time session. Such requests would typically be tied to an action within a given RTC session (e.g., adding text to a chat, changing a slide, etc.). When these actions are sent to the server, the server-side application can determine whether the request affects the queued responses that are awaiting change notifications. In the case of a change, the notification response is computed, and then an API call into the lower-level network flushes all queued responses awaiting updates in the session. Therefore this mechanism is used to trigger the responses to complete, thus providing immediate updates to clients.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to validating a specified identity for a participant to a chat session and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for trusted contact name validation for an instant messaging session. In one embodiment of the invention, an instant messaging contact name validation method can be provided. The method can include establishing a trusted relationship among at least two instant messaging servers in a trusted community of instant messaging servers, receiving a request to add a specified contact to a list of instant messaging contacts in association within one of the instant messaging servers in the trusted community of instant messaging servers, and validating the specified contact with another of the instant messaging servers in the trusted community of instant messaging servers.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to buddy list management and provide a method, system and computer program product for automatically adding new instant messenger buddies from conversational collaborators in an IP telephony session. In one embodiment of the invention, a buddy list augmentation method can be provided. The method can include receiving telephony call data for an IP telephony call with a collaborator, locating a screen name for the collaborator, and adding the located screen name to a buddy list for an instant messaging system. Optionally, the method further can include applying any or all of filtering, limiting and pruning rules to the screen name to determine whether or not to add the located screen name to the buddy list.

Described are a system and method for managing online communications by a user who participates in an awareness service system. A first awareness state associated with the user is published to a first participant of the awareness service system, while a second different awareness state associated with the user is published to a second participant of the awareness service system. Each published awareness state is based on a collaborative relationship between the user and the participant to which that awareness state is published.

In response to a first user becoming active on a communication device, a first availability status can be automatically established as a current availability of the first user. A first time period can be automatically identified. During the first time period, the first availability status can be maintained as the current availability of the first user to at least a second user. In response to the first time period elapsing, a second availability status can be automatically established as the current availability of the first user to the second user.

A method of determining a common social context can include detecting a collaboration between a plurality of participants. The method can include identifying a plurality of common social contexts and determining a probability that the collaboration belongs to each of the plurality of common social contexts. At least one probability and corresponding common social context can be output.
