Abstract: A specification including a description of a first directed graph including a first plurality of components interconnected by a first set of one or more directed links is received. A graph interface is formed for the first plurality of components including: forming a first interface element of the graph interface, the first interface element being associated with a first port of a first component of the first number of components, and configuring one or more properties of the first interface element such that the first port of the first component is consistent with the one or more properties of the first interface element. A first implementation of the graph interface is formed including the first number of components, the forming including forming a first correspondence between the first interface element and the first port of the first component of the first number of components.

Abstract: A system and method for immediate and delayed real-time communication activities using availability data from and communications through an external instant messaging system, that operates to obtain aggregated user online presence information through its own client software, through interception of client-server communications between an external instant messaging client and server, and through other available interfaces to user account information on such external instant messaging systems. The system operates to gather user online presence information in part by intercepting communications between an instant messaging client and the Internet. The aggregate presence data, as well as other information describing the availability of a user, is used to intelligently route real-time communications, such as instant messages and phone calls.
