摘要:
A method, system and computer program product is disclosed for supporting role-based access control in a collaborative environment, wherein pluralities of users work together in a collaborative process using a software system. The method comprises componentizing the software system into a multitude of software components, and limiting access to specific software components to certain users based on roles assigned to the users as defined by a run-time state of the collaborative process. The set of components that a user can access is dynamic, that set can change based on the “context” or the step where the user is in a collaborative workflow/process. Thus, in comparison with traditional access control mechanisms, an embodiment of the invention combines three different elements: a) the set of components that comprise the application is partitioned in such a way as to make componentized role-based access control feasible, b) a method for specifying inter-component dependencies to enable role-based groups, and c) enabling the modification of the access privileges based on contextual information from a collaborative process.

摘要:
A method, system and computer program product are disclosed to support the dynamic (just-in-time) task distribution in the context of globally collaborative software development. Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for distributing tasks in a collaborative software development project, where said project has a multitude of work packets. An embodiment of the invention includes generating bidding request forms, and broadcasting the bidding request forms to a multitude of distributed teams; collecting completed bidding request forms having real-time information about attributes of the distributed teams; and matching eligible teams to the work packets. This embodiment further comprise optimizing a distribution plan of the work packets; ranking results of the distribution plan to give a final distribution plan; and notifying each of the distributed teams of any work packets assigned to them.

Techniques are provided for automatically creating and using a transform to generate a document in a target format. The techniques include obtaining a source document, wherein the source document is in a structured format and wherein the source document comprises structured information from a domain-specific representation, creating a transform, wherein creating the transform comprises creating a specially-tagged version of the source document in the structured format, using a target application to create an output document in a target format with one or more corresponding tags, and applying an algorithm to automatically generate a transform, and using the transform to generate a version of the source document in a target format. Techniques are also provided for generating a database of one or more transforms.

Techniques for optimizing resource allocation are provided. The techniques include identifying one or more communication needs for each of one or more communications needed for execution of a project, identifying one or more members of each of the one or more communications and member information for each of the one or more members, using the one or more communication needs and member information to estimate one or more communication costs for each of the one or more communications needed for execution of the project, and comparing the one or more communication costs for each of the one or more communications to optimize resource allocation for executing the project.

Techniques for implementing a location-based service include obtaining meta-information from a service provider comprising location-based service information, service provider contact information, and service provider authentication information, combining the meta-information into a message and encoding the message into a series of signals to be broadcast for implementing the service over an ad hoc environment, wherein in the environment there exists no pre-existing communication infrastructure and no pre-defined relationship between the service provider and one or more service receivers, broadcasting the series of signals as a message to service receivers in the ad hoc environment, enabling the service receiver to identify potential services using filters based on signal strength, computed distance, and/or service category, and facilitating a communication between the service provider and a service receiver via enabling the receiver to use the contact information to identify the service provider and the authentication information to verify the service provider.

A system and method that selects among multiple encodings of the same content to adapt to available bandwidth and meet delay constraints by minimizing the switching lag is disclosed. The system and method include one buffer serving multiple data streams and a switching device. The switching device switches between the multiple data streams and discards data from the buffer that does not belong to a new stream to eliminate switching lag after a switching decision has been made.
