Abstract: A method for assisting graphical user interface design includes extracting a first interface element from a first GUI under a first cultural background; searching in a rule repository for at least one transformation rule corresponding to the first interface element, where each of the at least one transformation rule includes at least an action taken on the first interface element; based on the at least one transformation rule, transforming the first interface element into a second interface element under a second cultural background; and providing a second user interface comprising at least the second interface element.

Abstract: A monitoring computer system receives a message, from a first party, which identifies a goal of the first party. The monitoring computer system receives an identity of a second party that has been selected by the first party to assist the first party in achieving the identified goal of the first party. An electronic communication connection is created for electronic communications between the first party and the second party, wherein the electronic communications are related to accomplishing the identified goal of the first party. The electronic communications between the first party and the second party are monitored by executing message analytics to determine a status of the identified goal of the first party. In response to receiving a goal abandonment message, identifying an abandonment of the identified goal by the first party, the monitoring computer system disconnects the electronic communication connection between the first party and the second party.

Abstract: A social network conversation dynamic inclusion threshold causes a first subset of social network group members of a social network group to be included in a social network conversation earlier than at least one other social network group member. In accordance with the social network conversation dynamic inclusion threshold, social network posts of the social network conversation are distributed to the first subset of social network group members while delaying distribution of the social network posts of the social network conversation to the at least one other social network group member. Upon satisfaction of the social network conversation dynamic inclusion threshold, the social network posts of the social network conversation are distributed to the at least one other social network group member.

Abstract: A method for presenting a trusted tag cloud to a user. The method includes associating a number of tags with a first user who applies the tags, calculating a weight of the tags being examined by a second user. The weight may be based on the identity of the second user, the identity of the first user, and examining the relationship between the two. The tags may then be presented to the user in accordance with the value of the weight.

Abstract: A social network conversation dynamic inclusion threshold is obtained that causes a first subset of social network group members of a social network group to be included in a social network conversation earlier than at least one other social network group member and that further causes the at least one other social network group member to be included in the social network conversation upon satisfaction of the obtained social network conversation dynamic inclusion threshold. In accordance with the obtained social network conversation dynamic inclusion threshold, social network posts of the social network conversation are contemporaneously distributed to the first subset of social network group members and delayed in distribution to the at least one other social network group member. Upon satisfaction of the social network conversation dynamic inclusion threshold, the social network posts of the social network conversation are distributed to the at least one other social network group member.

Abstract: A method for routing communications on an online social network includes monitoring communications between users on an online social network on a communications system. A processing issue with a message of the communications is identified based on a rule, wherein the message is from a sender to a receiver. The method and system includes analyzing a recipient social network for an alternative recipient user to receive the message based on a similarity criteria. A processing model is applied to the message to determine an action to improve processing efficiency of the message. The action includes routing the message to the alternative recipient user. The method and system includes performing the action to facilitate the processing efficiency, responsive to determining an action.

Abstract: A method for testing the display of bi-directional language script prior to translation in an application under test can include using unidirectional glyphs with shaping indicators to simulate right-to-left characters. The using step can include reversing an ordering of a first set of unidirectional text characters in an input string and mapping the unidirectional text characters to right-to-left code points in a bi-directional language code page to produce a pseudo-translated string. Multiple unidirectional language glyphs can be loaded where each corresponds to a same one of the right-to-left character code points as had been used to produce the pseudo-translation. The pseudo-translation and the glyphs can be combined to simulate right-to-left character rendering in the application under test such the resultant output is visually similar to the input string. Finally, the glyphs can include character shaping indicia such that a resultant output allows for the detection of shaping errors.

Abstract: A method for productivity view management may include receiving, by a processor, a plurality of collaborative artifacts for a user and organizing the plurality of collaborative artifacts in a list based on a predetermined order. The method may also include analyzing, by the processor, the list of collaborative artifacts using a predetermined criterion and determining a view management fatigue factor threshold for the user. The method may further include automatically inserting, by the processor, a downtime artifact within the list of collaborative artifacts based on analyzing the list of collaborative artifacts to prevent the user from exceeding the view management fatigue factor threshold.
