  • Publication number: 20160182428
    Abstract: A method for managing processing of electronic messages. The method includes a computer processor identifying one or more electronic messages. The method further includes a computer processor determining one or more e-mail characteristics respectively associated with the identified one or more electronic messages. The method further includes a computer processor determining an estimated electronic message processing duration for the identified one or more electronic messages based, at least in part, on weighting factors that are associated with the determined one or more e-mail characteristics. The method further includes a computer processor identifying a first unscheduled time slot within an electronic calendar of a user. The method further includes a computer processor scheduling the identified one or more electronic messages within the identified first unscheduled time slot of the electronic calendar of the user.

  • Publication number: 20160155251
    Abstract: Controlling an electronic device includes: detecting a touch contact with a touch-sensitive display; detecting a first intersection of the contact location with a first edge between first and second nodes; exclusively linking the first edge at the first intersection of the contact location; detecting movement of the contact location and causing the linked first intersection of the first edge to move in concert with the contact location so as to extend the first edge on the display at the intersection, while maintaining a link of the first edge to the first and second nodes; detecting the exceeding of an extensibility limit of the first edge; and based on the exceeding, removing the first edge from the displayed graph and breaking the connection between the first and second nodes of the graph, wherein the signaling connection between the first and second components is broken.

  • Publication number: 20150365308
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for automatic transformation of messages between service versions. The method includes collecting message data of messages sent to two or more versions of a service. Message data is identified as relating to a version of a service. Relationships are inferred between structure and content of messages sent to different versions of a service, and message transformation rules are created based on the inferred relationships.
