Abstract: A method for user interface workflow composition includes defining a form of different fields, at least one of the fields in the form referencing a business object providing access to data in an external data source that is different than at least one other data source for a correspondingly different one of the fields. A set of references to both human steps and automated steps of a workflow is loaded such, each human step referencing a corresponding user interface and each human step and automated step individually including contextual data. A human step is generated for the defined form and loading into the module. Graphical elements, each representative of a selected human or automated step, are visually placed into a canvas along with an individual graphical element representative of the defined form. Transitions are defined between the human and automated steps represented by corresponding graphical elements setting forth a user interface workflow.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for user interface workflow composition. In an embodiment of the invention, a user interface workflow composition method can include loading a set of references to both human steps of a workflow and also automated steps of a workflow. Each of the human steps of the workflow references a corresponding user interface. Further, each of the human steps and automated steps of the workflow individually include contextual data. Individual graphical elements each representative of a selected one of the human steps and automated steps is placed into a canvas and transitions can be defined between different ones of the human steps and automated steps represented by corresponding ones of the graphical elements in the canvas resulting in the specification of a user interface workflow. Consequently, computer readable instructions can be generated for the user interface workflow.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to inquiry resolution for KM systems and provide a method, system and computer program product for multi-channel answering services for inquiry resolution in a KM system. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a method for multi-channel answering services for inquiry resolution in a KM system can include receiving a request for interaction with an answering server of the KM system, extracting question text from the request along with question text meta-data, and deducing a context for the question text from the question text meta-data. Thereafter, the context can be analyzed to determine a preferred channel of communication, a preferred mode of interaction and a preferred delivery format for interacting with the answering server. Finally, the answer content can be provided for the question text according to the preferred channel of communication, the preferred mode of interaction and the preferred delivery format.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for automated selection of a channel of support dependant upon the behavior of the customer.

Abstract: The enterprise email system processes incoming email using a set of configurable rules that examine each message for a specific attribute state condition and invoke a configurable action when the attribute satisfies the condition. A number of actions may be invoked such as routing a message to a specific mail queue. The enterprise email system assigns a mail queue timer when a message is moved into a mail queue. Each mail queue has a different mail queue timeout value that specifies the maximum amount of time that a message may sit idle within a mail queue. The enterprise email system may automatically move a message from a mail queue into a mailbox of an enterprise email system user that subscribed to the mail queue. A mailbox timer then set for the message and the mailbox timer is compared with a mailbox timeout value that specifies the amount of time that message may sit idle within a mail queue.

Abstract: A method and system for exchanging information over a communications network are described. According to one embodiment, an exemplary method of the invention includes connecting two or more clients to a proxy over the communications network, activating a shared session between the clients, and enabling co-navigation of one or more web documents with dynamic content by the clients during the shared session.

Abstract: A multi-tiered system for responding to natural language queries is using disclosed. The query resolution system returns zero or more links to content that is relevant to the users query. The present invention for query resolution combines two or more types of natural language query resolution methods, where the knowledge base for each of the methods comes from a single knowledge specification. The various different natural language query resolution methods differ fundamentally in how they match the user query to the web site content. The results of the resolution methods are ranked and all, some, or none of the results of each system may be displayed.

Abstract: A method for a partially self-training learning system is disclosed. The learning systems, such as document classifiers, are initially trained on a small amount of hand-sorted data. The learning systems process unlabeled data by assigning classifications to the data. A confidence level in the classification is verified for each newly classified document. If the classification is made with a sufficiently high confidence level, the learning system trains on the word vector of the newly classified document. If the classification of the newly classified document is not made with a sufficiently high confidence level, the learning system does not use the word vector in the newly classified document for training purposes.
