Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to managing the scatter and flood problem of the activity-centric computing environment and provide a method, system and computer program product for sorting and filtering activities in an activity-centric computing environment. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for filtering and sorting activity objects in an activity-centric computing environment can include generating at least one activity thread of hierarchically arranged activity objects, selecting at least one filtering criterion for the activity objects, and filtering the activity objects in the activity threads. Additionally, a filtered view of the activity objects can be generated in an activity map in the activity-centric computing environment.

A method, system and apparatus for creating and managing an activity in a collaborative environment. In a preferred aspect of the present invention, a unified activity manager for use in a collaborative environment can include an activity list including a hierarchical listing of activities. Each of the activities can include at least one task. The unified activity manager further can include an activity view including a rendering of properties associated with a selected activity in the activity view. Finally, the unified activity manager yet further can include a persons and roles view including at least a listing of collaborators available for association with the selected activity in the activity view.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to assigning attributes to shared artifacts in a collaborative environment and provide a method, system and computer program product for end-user based processing of different attributes for a common shared artifact in a collaborative environment. In one embodiment, a data processing system configured for end-user based processing of different attributes for a commonly shared artifact in a collaborative environment can include a collaborative environment, one or more shared artifacts disposed within the collaborative environment, and artifact processing logic. The artifact processing logic can include program code enabled to assign different attributes corresponding to different end users to a commonly shared one of the shared artifacts.

A method, system and apparatus for wrapping objects for liveness in a collaborative environment. In a preferred aspect of the present invention, a method for enabling liveness for a non-live object can include the step of wrapping the non-live object to emulate liveness in a collaborative environment. Preferably, the wrapping step can include selecting at least one attribute of the non-live object, repeatedly updating a status of the at least one attribute for the non-live object, and, providing the repeatedly updated status to the collaborative environment in order to emulate liveness for the non-live object.

A method, system and apparatus for managing live collections in a collaborative environment. In a preferred aspect of the present invention, a live collection can include a multiplicity of live objects aggregated together from which a live collection status can be obtained by reference to an application of at least one rule to a status for at least one of the aggregated live objects. The live collection can be a live activity having at least one of several live processes and live workflows. The live collection also can be a live group having multiple live names. The live collection yet further can be a live parent having multiple live objects disposed in a parent-child hierarchy. Finally, the live collection can be a live folder having multiple live documents. Notably, the rules can be logic rules, logical quantifiers, organizational quantifiers, relative quantifiers, or procedural indicators, to name a few examples. Moreover, the rules can be applied to multiple attributes of the live objects concurrently to produce a status for the live collection.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to state awareness of a non-live object, and provide a method, system and computer program product for lifecycle model instance objectification of a non-activity object in an activity thread. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for lifecycle model instance objectification of non-activity objects in an activity thread can be provided. The method can include rendering an activity thread within an activity map for an activity-centric collaborative tool, creating an instance of a lifecycle model, and objectifying a non-activity object in the activity thread with the lifecycle model instance. Additionally, a status decorator can be displayed for the lifecycle model instance in association with the non-activity object in the activity map.

A method, system and apparatus for live creating and managing shortcuts in a computing environment. In a preferred aspect of the present invention, a method for managing live shortcuts can include selecting an underlying object from among one or more underlying objects and creating a live shortcut for the underlying object. The created live shortcut can be positioned in a user interface for a computing environment and liveness can be maintained for the created live shortcut based upon a changing state of the underlying object.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to electronic messaging and provide a method, system and computer program product for distribution list management for a reply electronic message. In one embodiment of the invention, a distribution list management method for a reply message in a message thread can include identifying a set of addressees from among multiple messages in a message thread and adding the set of addresses to a distribution list for a reply message to one of the multiple messages in the message thread. Individual ones of the addressees in the distribution list can be selected to receive the reply message. Subsequently, the reply message can be sent to the selected individual ones of the addressees.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to queued requests to establish human-to-human collaborative sessions and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for managing queued requests to establish human-to-human collaborative sessions. In one embodiment, a human-to-human collaborative data processing system can be provided which can include a messenger configured for coupling to other messengers. The system further can include a queue of incoming session requests to establish respective human-to-human collaborative sessions with requesters associated with the other messengers. Finally, the system can include queue management logic enabled to order the session requests in the queue according to queue rules coupled to the queue management logic.

A method, system and apparatus for publishing activity tasks in a collaborative environment can include the step of publishing selected activity tasks for status viewing by other collaborators in the collaborative environment. In one aspect of the invention, the publishing step can include the step of publishing selected activity tasks for viewing by a subset of the collaborators in the collaborative environment. In another aspect of the invention, the publishing step can include the step of publishing selected activity tasks for viewing by the collaborators in the collaborative environment only for a specified duration. In yet another aspect of the invention, the publishing step can include both publishing selected activity tasks for viewing by the collaborators in the collaborative environment, and periodically updating a status for each of the selected activity tasks.
