摘要： A publication-and-subscription mechanism for team rooms, referred to as team room “channels”, through which teams are able to selectively share resources from their team rooms with non-members, and that allows selective contributions, modifications, and discussions from non-members. The team room channels operate as bidirectional information pipelines to other team rooms. The team room channels may either be broadcast to all known teams, or be published selectively to one or more designated “target” teams. The receiving team rooms may then subscribe to specific published channels as appropriate. Information items from a team's team room, such as documents, tasks, representations of team members, and/or other resources, may be added to one or more of a team's published channels. Teams can associate specific permissions with each channel, including Read, Contribute, Modify, and/or Discuss. These permissions apply to all items associated with the channel. Teams can subscribe to those channels published to them, to receive synchronous notifications of changes to the channel items.

摘要： A chat user interface for threaded text chat systems. The user interface can include a canvas view in which multiple portions of a threaded text tree for a chat session can be rendered separately and concurrently. The user interface further can include a chat participant view, a chat input view and an outline view of an ongoing chat session. Notably, selections of a threaded text tree rendered in the canvas view can be configured for zooming so that certain parts of the threaded text tree can be viewed more readily than other parts of the threaded text tree. Moreover, as new text entries are provided to any branch of the threaded text tree, visual indicators can be activated in the canvas view to alert an end user to the location of the new text entries. Finally, the canvas view can accommodate both imported external objects, such as graphics or links to Web pages, and also a white board region into which notations can be applied by an end user during the course of a chat session.

摘要翻译： 用于线程文本聊天系统的聊天用户界面。 用户界面可以包括画布视图，其中用于聊天会话的线程文本树的多个部分可以单独地并且同时呈现。 用户界面还可以包括聊天参与者视图，聊天输入视图和正在进行的聊天会话的大纲视图。 值得注意的是，可以将在画布视图中呈现的线程文本树的选择配置为缩放，以便线程文本树的某些部分可以比线程文本树的其他部分更容易查看。 此外，当新文本条目提供给线程文本树的任何分支时，可以在画布视图中激活可视指示符，以向终端用户提醒新文本条目的位置。 最后，画布视图可以容纳两个导入的外部对象，例如图形或到Web页面的链接，以及白板区域，在聊天会话过程中终端用户可以使用符号。

摘要： The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for managing computer-based interruptions. The method comprises receiving an interruption directed at a user, and selectively suppressing delivery to the user of an interruption notification corresponding to the interruption, based on a current state of the user, a classification of the interruption, and a set of interruption management policies.

摘要： Under the present invention, an executable object such as binary or JAVA byte code corresponding to the software application is obtained. Based on an analysis of the software application, points for introducing the collaborative components are identified. A set of executable code (e.g., an Aspect) to introduce the collaborative components at the identified points is then defined and built. Thereafter, the set of executable code and the collaborative components are linked to the executable object.

摘要： An improved solution for managing a project. In particular, one or more development artifacts for the project can be annotated based on a collaborative session regarding the development artifact(s). The collaborative session can be stored as a collaborative artifact, which also can be stored in the project. As a result, the collaborative session can be readily recalled and/or subsequently resumed by one or more users.

摘要： An improved solution for managing a project comprising one or more shared artifacts is described. In particular, an interactive event can be detected on a user system, and a notice of the interactive event can be generated. The notice can be provided to one or more other user systems that are currently accessing the project. A user interface at the other user system(s) can automatically surface information on the interactive event to a user.

摘要： A system in which awareness information about multiple team rooms to which a user belongs is simultaneously made available in real time through a team member's team room user interface, including visual representations of all the team rooms to which the user belongs, and where the visual representations of the team rooms to which the user belongs are modified in real time to indicate whether any team room members are currently present in each team room. Visual indication of various details about the current state of each team room may further be made available through a hover over “tooltip” or other graphical user interface element. Visual indications of specific team room details may also be provided directly on or as part of the display objects representing the team rooms to which the user belongs. Team room icons may be modified with various specific visual indicators, giving the user abstracted detail information regarding the team rooms.

摘要： A system for providing an activity-centric collaboration space provides representations of the tasks that the team has planned, is engaged in, and has completed as a means of enhancing cross-team awareness and coordination. The system enables a user to explicitly indicate what task she is currently engaged in on behalf of the team, and makes this current task information available to other team members. A “tasks” view user interface component provides a shared view of all ongoing, planned, and completed tasks for a team. Information about team members' task assignments, and the ability to monitor team members' current tasks, may be used to manage potential interruptions caused by requests for instant messaging sessions and the like. Team members can explicitly establish interruption management policies indicating how task assignments and current tasks should be used to determine whether a communication attempt should be blocked or forwarded to a team member. Team space resources that are most important to an individual team member may also be identified, and changes made to those resources made more visually apparent and/or readily available to that user than changes to artifacts with which they are less concerned. Personalized differential awareness user interface representations may also be provided, and the associations that tasks establish between resources and team members also enables convenient determination of whether newly added or modified resources would be of interest to a particular user.

摘要翻译： 提供以活动为中心的协作空间的系统提供了团队计划，参与的任务的表示，并已经完成了增强跨团队意识和协调的手段。 该系统使用户能够代表团队明确指出她目前从事的任务，并使其他团队成员可以使用当前的任务信息。 “任务”视图用户界面组件为团队提供了所有正在进行的，计划的和已完成的任务的共享视图。 有关团队成员任务分配的信息以及监控团队成员当前任务的能力可用于管理由即时消息传递会话等引起的潜在中断。 团队成员可以明确地建立中断管理策略，指示如何使用任务分配和当前任务来确定通信尝试是否应被阻止或转发给团队成员。 也可以识别对个别团队成员最重要的团队空间资源，并且对这些资源所做的更改对于该用户而言更加视觉上显而易见和/或容易获得，而不是他们不太关心的工件的更改。 还可以提供个性化的差异感知用户界面表示，并且任务在资源和团队成员之间建立的关联也能够方便地确定新添加或修改的资源是否将被特定用户感兴趣。
