Abstract: A first user muting a conversation, taking place among a plurality of users using an exchange of electronic messages, can be detected. Responsive to the first user muting the conversation, an electronic message inbox of the first user can be configured to prevent further electronic messages pertaining to the conversation from being visible in the electronic message inbox. At least one additional electronic message pertaining to the conversation can be received. Responsive to receiving the additional electronic message, the additional electronic message can be analyzed and, based on the analysis, whether the conversation should be unmuted for the first user can be automatically determined. Responsive to determining that the conversation should be unmuted for the first user, the electronic message inbox of the first user can be configured to make visible at least one electronic message pertaining to the conversation that is received earlier than the additional electronic message.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for improving the usability of a calendar application. A calendar client agent receives calendar information, such as meetings, appointments, vacations, tasks, etc. from various systems, such as an electronic mail system, a social networking system, an instant messaging system and a wiki. The calendar client agent evaluates the retrieved calendar information with respect to a set of presentation rules. The calendar client agent then presents the retrieved calendar information in a horizontal bar (also referred to as a “calendar bar”) in the calendar application over a duration of time (e.g., twelve hours of the current day) in relation to the set of presentation rules. In this manner, the user will be able to more easily ascertain which events or activities are scheduled.

Abstract: A method for team analytics context graph generation and augmentation may include extracting a set of relevant features from a received message and predicting a context graph corresponding to the received message being sparse based on the extracted relevant features. A context of the received message is indeterminable from the context graph in response to the context graph being sparse. The method may also include generating an augmented context graph in response to the context graph being predicted to be sparse. The context of the received message is determinable from the augmented context graph. The method may additionally include presenting the augmented context graph.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for improving the engagement of the user in collaboration activities. A collaboration mechanism detects a request to select an artifact (community, file) by a user in a communication system. The collaboration mechanism analyzes the communication system for collaboration activities (e.g., postings) related to the selected artifact to determine a list of related artifacts. The collaboration mechanism then determines the collaboration activities for each artifact in the list of related artifacts. The collaboration mechanism then analyzes the determined collaboration activities for each artifact in the list of related artifacts to form a collaboration summary (summary of the collaboration activities) for each artifact which is presented to the user. As a result of presenting such a collaboration summary to the user, the user is more likely to engage in collaborative activities with other artifacts since they are related to the artifact selected by the user.

Abstract: Displaying categorized messages includes categorizing at least one message into at least one category among a plurality of categories, displaying a number of messages in a dedicated portion of a display, the number of messages displayed being based on a current size of the dedicated portion of the display, wherein a specific message is selected for display based on a priority measure corresponding to the at least one category into which that specific message is categorized, and in response to a resizing of the dedicated portion of the display, selecting again a new number of messages to display in the dedicated portion based on a new size of the dedicated portion, and displaying the new number of messages, wherein a specific message is selected for display based on a priority measure corresponding to the at least one category into which that specific message is categorized.
