Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for providing autonomic content load balancing. A programmatic selection is made from among alternative content versions based upon current conditions. Preferably, the alternative selectable versions specify content to be used in a Web page, and a version is selected responsive to receiving a request for the Web page. The selectable version may comprise the Web page, or a component of a Web page may have selectable versions. Optionally, the Web page may include more than one component with dynamically-selectable content. In this case, the versions may be selectable independently of one another.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for efficiently updating rendered content (such as content of a Web page) using a “slow-loading” content element, such as a slow-loading image. A reference is embedded within the markup language notation for the content to be rendered, where this reference identifies the source of the slow-loading content element. Delivery of the slow-loading content therefore begins automatically, when the content is rendered. Event handling attributes are specified with the reference, where values of these attributes identify client-side logic to be invoked when the associated event occurs. If the server determines that the rendered content, or some portion thereof, should be asynchronously updated, it abruptly terminates delivery of the slow-loading content. This termination triggers an event handler, which operates to automatically request reloading of the content. Attributes are also preferably specified for handling abort events and successful loading events, causing the client to request reloading of the content in each case (and restarting delivery of the slow-loading content).
Abstract:
Methods, systems and computer program products are provide which control events associated with an element of a user interface by determining a characteristic(s) of pointer movement of a pointing device and adjusting a condition(s) for triggering an event associated with the element based on the determined characteristic of pointer movement. The triggering of the event is controlled utilizing the adjusted condition. By determining characteristics of pointer movement, a user's intent may be inferred from that pointer movement and, based on the inferred intent, the conditions for triggering of events may be adjusted consistent with such inferred intent.

Abstract:
Filtering non-invasive data collection is presented. A server segments a web page into regions and sends the segmented web page along with a data collector program to a client. The client loads the web page whereupon the data collector program detects a user event corresponding to one of the regions. The data collector program uses one or more collection threshold settings to filter user event data corresponding to the user event. The server receives collected user event data and sends an acknowledgement message to the client whereby indicating that the server received the user event data intact. The server may also adjust one or more collection threshold settings and include the adjusted collection threshold settings in the acknowledgement message.
Abstract:
Non-invasive collection of data is presented. A server segments a web page into regions and sends the segmented web page along with a data collector program to a client in response to receiving a client request. The client displays the web page and loads the data collector program which initiates particular event handlers to monitor user event activity corresponding to the displayed web page. When the user performs a user event, such as moving his mouse into a particular web page region, the data collector program collects user event data and associates the user event data with the particular web page region. When the user event is complete, the data collector program sends the collected user event data to the server.
Abstract:
A method for utilizing business process specification language to enable collaboration between roles by executing tasks in an order defined by the business process specification language process flow, while minimizing the need for a user to utilize a process execution engine to claim the tasks. The method includes determining a set of users involved in the business process specification language process flow; determining the tasks that constitute the business process specification language process flow; determining the roles involved in the business process specification language process flow; determining which individual users perform which roles; and recognizing when the individual user is performing consecutive tasks that are assigned to different roles; and wherein based on the recognition the requirement for the individual user to utilize a process execution engine to claim the consecutive tasks is eliminated.
Abstract:
A method, system and program product for dynamically identifying one or more components or resources contributing to a service degradation is provided. The method includes providing a dynamic correlation logic tool having logic that is configured to dynamically build a model for an application experiencing a service degradation at a given point-in-time. Further, the method includes obtaining from a configuration management database configuration data for resources utilized by the application experiencing the service degradation at that point-in-time and dynamically building the model using the configuration data obtained and status data obtained from monitoring sources that monitor the resources. Further, the method includes evaluating and analyzing the model, using the logic provided, and identifying one or more resources utilized by the application contributing to the service degradation. The method further includes reporting the one or more resources identified, such that, appropriate action(s) can be taken.
