  • Patent number: 6845383
    Abstract: A workflow, enterprise, and mail-enabled application server and platform supports distributed computing and remote execution of web applications. Lotus Domino online services (DOLS) is used by a web site administrator to configure Internet Notes (iNotes) clients to auto download from server, thus providing iNotes clients with web access using HTTP with various browsers, and with local processing and replication. A local run time model comprises a hierarchy of models including object data store model, security model, indexing model, replication model, agent workflow model and mail model. DOLS provides a layered security model that allows flexibility for controlling access to all or part of an application. The highest level of security is managed through a database access control list (ACL). Further refinements within the security model provide access to specific documents, and their views, forms or folders, and include read access lists, write access lists, form access lists and readers and authors fields.

  • Publication number: 20030171941
    Abstract: A system and method that helps people identify synergistic opportunities. In one aspect, a system according to the invention allows an entity, such as a person, a group of people, an organizational unit, or other entity, to declare the topics in which the entity is interested (e.g., the one or more projects that the entity is currently working on). The system is also operable to monitor the activities of a group of people to determine those people within the group that appear to be interested in a topic that has been declared. If the system determines that a person appears interested in a declared topic, the system is operable to automatically notify that person that the topic has been declared.
