Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to managing interrupting requests to engage in a collaborative session and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for host state sensing for message interruptions. In one embodiment of the invention, a data processing system configured for host sensing for message interruption can include a messenger disposed is a host computing platform, prioritization logic including program code enabled to assign priorities to incoming messages, and host state sensing logic coupled to the host computing platform. The host state sensing logic can include program code enabled to adjust a threshold value for permitting message interruptions for messages having assigned priorities beyond the threshold value.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to icon management in a GUI and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for extensible icons with multiple drop zones. In one embodiment of the invention, an icon data processing system configured for use in a GUI can include a contracted form of an extensible icon; an expanded form of the extensible icon including multiple drop zones; and, a drag-and-drop event handler coupled to the contracted form of the extensible icon and the expanded form of the extensible icon.

A method, system and apparatus for placeholder management in a unified activity manager in a collaborative computing environment. A method for managing placeholders in a unified activity manager in a collaborative environment can include the step of inserting a placeholder in an activity in lieu of a specified collaborator, resource, or event. The inserting step can include describing a type of resource without specifying an identity of an actual resource; and, inserting the described type in the placeholder. The inserting step also can include describing a type of event without specifying an identity of an actual event; and, inserting the described type in the placeholder. The inserting step also can include describing a type of collaborator without specifying an identity of an actual collaborator; and, inserting the described type in the placeholder.

A method for managing location based applications providing crowdsourced structured points of input for data entry includes deploying deployable applications to a mobile computing device. Each deployable application includes a location based application component and a corresponding point of input defining structured data to be provided through a user interface control for a portion of a display for the application component. The method also includes selecting a subset of the deployable applications for display in the mobile computing device and activating one of the deployable applications in the subset for display in the mobile computing device to receive data input. Further, the method includes receiving data input for a point of input corresponding to a location based application component of the activated one of the deployable applications. Finally, the method includes storing geographic coordinates and the data input in connection with a portion of a display, such as a map display, for a corresponding application component of the activated one of the deployable applications.

A method, system and apparatus for managing activity reuse in a collaborative environment. The method can include the step of creating a new activity instance based upon an existing activity instance. Specifically, the creating step can include the steps of selecting an activity template and creating the new activity instance based upon the selected activity template and/or selecting a portion of an existing activity instance and creating the new activity instance based upon the selected portion. In either case, the method further can include the step of applying changes to the selected portion of the existing activity instance to the new activity instance. Finally, the method can include the step of annotating the new activity instance to refine the new activity instance for reuse. For instance, the annotating step can include coordinating a collaborative annotation of the new activity instance as an activity-in-progress.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for deploying a location based applications providing crowdsourced structured points of input for data entry. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for deploying a location based application providing crowdsourced structured points of input for data entry includes the selection of a location based application component, such as a map, for inclusion in a deployable application and the definition of a point of input for the location based application component. In this regard, the point of input can include at least one user interface control accepting data input of structured data. Finally the deployable application can be uploaded to a deployable application repository over a computer communications network for deployment to requesting mobile devices over the computer communications network.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to collaborative information object management and provide a method, system and computer program product for annotating collaborative information structures. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for annotating collaborative information structures can be provided. The method can include creating a collaborative information structure document (ISD) with each of an object section and an annotation section, adding a collaborative object in a collaborative computing environment to the object section of the collaborative ISD, adding an annotation for the collaborative ISD to the annotation section of the collaborative ISD, and storing the collaborative ISD for use as a collaborative object in the collaborative computing environment.
