  • Publication number: 20050278655
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for managing computer application presentations. Briefly described, in architecture, one embodiment of the system, among others, can be implemented as follows. In particular, one embodiment comprises first logic configured to display an application bar interface for initiating a command to launch an application on a computer display of a user; second logic configured to associate a launched application with a user-session; and third logic configured to display all of the applications of an active session on the computer display. The third logic is configured to display a first representation of a first business application of an active session on the computer display at the same time as a second representation of the first business application of the active session. Other systems and methods are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20050278649
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for presenting data from a plurality of computer applications for display. Briefly described, in architecture, one embodiment of the system, among others, can be implemented as follows. A graphical interface control to launch execution of a plurality of computer applications is provided on the computer desktop. In addition, one embodiment of the system includes first logic configured to display a launched first computer application within a first graphical window on the desktop. The first graphical window is capable of being positioned on the desktop by a user, where the positioning of the first graphical window is independent from the positioning of the graphical interface control. In some embodiments, the plurality of computer applications includes call center applications.
