Abstract: A plurality of annotations can be received for a presentation presented in a web conference. For each of the plurality of annotations, a respective portion of the presentation to which the annotation pertains can be determined, and a respective relevance parameter can be assigned to the annotation. The relevance parameter can indicate a relevance of the annotation to the respective portion of the presentation to which the annotation pertains. For each of the plurality of annotations, the annotation can be assigned to a respective location of a view based on the relevance parameter assigned to the annotation and the annotation can be presented in the respective location of the view to which the annotation is assigned.

Abstract: A plurality of annotations can be received for a presentation presented in a web conference. A respective relevance parameter can be assigned to each of the annotations. Each relevance parameter can indicate a relevance of a respective annotation to a portion of the presentation to which the annotation pertains. For each of the annotations, a decay model based on the respective relevance parameter can be generated. The decay model can indicate different durations of time the annotation is to be visible to different participants participating in the web conference based on respective expertise levels of the participants. Each respective annotation can be presented with the presentation in accordance with the decay model generated for the respective annotation.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for controlling which users from an organization are to be part of a community space. A community collaboration mechanism provides a list of organizations authorized to collaborate with the organization of the user. The mechanism then receives from the user a selection of organizations from this list of organizations. Upon receiving indication(s) (e.g., e-mail addresses) of users to be added to the community space, the mechanism provides a list of users who are members of the user selected organizations to engage in a collaborative activity with the user based on these indication(s). The mechanism then receives a selection of users from this list of users and adds those users to the community space. In this manner, the user can control which users from an organization are to be part of a community space in an easy and error-free manner.

Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for dynamic processing for collaborative events. In some embodiments, first data associated with a collaborative event may be received. Second data from one or more sensors of a user device may be received. The first data and the second data may be analyzed. An action recommendation may be generated based on the analyzed first data and the analyzed second data. The action recommendation may be transmitted.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for allowing a user to view network contacts of other users when visiting an environment of a different organization. A visitor requests to view a profile of a user while the visitor is visiting the environment or tenant space of a different organization. The organization of the visitor is obtained. Furthermore, the organization and network contacts of the user whose profile is requested to be viewed are obtained in response to validating the visitor's organization. The requested profile is then displayed to the visitor containing the accessible network contacts (if any) of the user based on whether the user and the visitor belong to the same organization.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for allowing a user to easily collaborate with users from different organizations. In response to authenticating the user to access the environment of the user's home organization, a list of outside organizations where the user has visitor status is obtained. Outside organization(s) in the list of outside organizations that have content to be viewed by the user are identified. An object associated with the user's home organization, objects associated with the outside organizations where the user has visitor status as well as indications (e.g., star) associated with those outside organizations that have content to be shared with the user are displayed on the user interface of the user's computing device. In this manner, the user will be able to collaborate with an outside organization that has content to be shared in response to selecting the object associated with the outside organization.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for e-meeting requirements assurance in e-meeting management. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for e-meeting requirements assurance in e-meeting management is provided. The method includes selecting a scheduled e-meeting for an invitee in memory of a computer, retrieving resource requirements published for the selected scheduled e-meeting, inspecting local computing resources of the invitee, comparing the local computing resources to the retrieved resource requirements to identify local resource deficiencies, and generating a notice of the local resource deficiencies to the invitee prior to a scheduled date and time for the e-meeting.

It may be shared, via a social network, that the meeting attendant is the expert on the topic of the meeting.

Abstract: A critical notification is reliably delivered to at least one participant in a real-time communication session. A candidate delivery channel is selected, and a set of one or more communication state variables associated with the candidate delivery channel are identified. Current values associated with the communication state variables and determined, and a determination is made as to whether the current values associated with the communication state variables indicate that the notification can currently be reliably delivered using the candidate delivery channel. If the notification cannot currently be reliably delivered using the candidate delivery channel, an alternative delivery option is selected that may include using an alternative delivery channel and/or delaying delivery of the notification.

Abstract: A computer receives a first information related to a communication sent to a user device of a second person. The computer determines a user device of a first person using the first information. The computer sends a context information request to the user device of the first person. The computer receives a context information reply responsive to the context information request. The computer sends context information of the context information reply to the user device of the second person. The computer releases the communication to the user device of the second person.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for indicating an organization of a visitor on a user interface of a user engaged in collaborative activity with the visitor. The visitor attempting to engage in a collaborative action (e.g., participating in an online meeting, sharing files) with a user from a different organization is authenticated to confirm that the visitor has the right to engage in collaborative activity with the user from the different organization. The identification of the organization of the visitor is extracted from the information used to authenticate the visitor. The identification of the organization of the visitor is then displayed on the user interface of the user engaging in the collaborative action with the visitor. In this manner, the organization of the visitor is easily discoverable by the user without requiring the user to perform a time consuming search to determine the organization of the visitor.
