Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to managing a messaging state across multiple clients and devices which use respective communications systems. In one embodiment, a plurality of users are connected to multiple messaging communications systems. The multiple messaging communications systems use a plurality of associated messaging clients on each of the users' respective devices, for messaging communications between the users. The users' messaging communications are stored from the multiple messaging communications systems and their respective messaging clients, using a proxy service. A device, of the plurality of messaging clients, being used by a messaging user of the plurality of users is tracked. A current messaging communication of the messaging user from the stored messaging communications is routed to the currently used device, using the proxy service, for maintaining a state of the messaging communications of the users.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a system and method for determining availability of a user on a plurality of communication devices includes collecting usage data of the user. An algorithm generates a predictive availability model of a user having a plurality of devices based on previous availability data collected, using a program executable by a processor of a computer. An algorithm prioritizes the devices of the user along with their respective messaging systems, to route a message from a sender to the user based on the predictive availability model, using the program. Routing logic is configured to route the message from the sender to the user based on the prioritization algorithm.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to facilitating social interactions. An aspect includes determining that a first communications device is in communicative contact with a second communications device, identifying at least one artifact relating to a user of the first communications device, and searching at least one database for information about a user of the second communications device that is in common with the user of the first communications device with respect to the artifact. Also, results of the searching are provided as a topic of conversation to the first communications device.

Abstract: Analytics and visualization for logical dependency mapping of computer servers may be provided. Data collected from computer servers is received and analyzed to discover logical dependencies among the computer servers, for example, to discover communications between one or more of operating systems, middleware and applications associated with the computer servers. The computer servers may be grouped into one or more dependency groups based at least on a user-defined grouping criterion. The one or more dependency groups and their logical dependencies may be output.
