Abstract: A system and method for managing an electronic storage volume is described. The method includes assigning a threshold to a constrained storage space to define a first state in which an amount of data stored in the constrained storage space exceeds the threshold and a second state in which the amount of data stored in the confined storage space does not exceed the threshold. The method also includes comparing the amount of data to be stored in the constrained storage space and the threshold, and performing a predefined action if the comparison indicates that the amount data to be in the confined storage space would cause a transition between the first state and the second state.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for cross-cutting event correlation in an enterprise computing monitoring and management system. An enterprise computing monitoring and management system can include a hierarchy of nodes, where several of the nodes are each coupled to a corresponding embedded correlation engine and an event bus. The system further can include a root node among the nodes. The root node can be coupled to the event bus and to centralized correlation logic programmed to identify a high correspondence between events from a particular event source among the nodes and a particular set of correlation rules in that correlation engine. The identification of such correspondence can be used to move to the set of correlation rules to an embedded correlation engine closer to the particular event source.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for preventing a browser from loading content from undesirable sources. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: selecting an area of a web page containing undesirable content; substituting an alternate Internet Protocol (IP) address for a hostname of a website that provided the undesirable content based on a profile; and redisplaying the web page with content from the alternate IP address displayed in the selected area of the web page.

Abstract: The present invention provides multi-file transfer via instant messaging. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: selecting a plurality of files to be transferred; generating a collection descriptor describing the files; sending an instant message with a collection reference that includes the collection descriptor to a recipient; and upon receipt of the instant message, the recipient selectively retrieving at least one of the files.

Abstract: A method for managing instant messaging interruptions may include comparing at least one term in an instant message to a plurality of terms in a no-response-required (NRR) library. The method may also include representing the instant message as an instant message agent character (IMAC) in response to a match between at least one term in the instant message and at least one of the plurality of terms in the NRR library.

Abstract: The present invention provides a self-updating email message. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: sending an email message to a recipient, the email message including encapsulated content; and selectively updating the email message in accordance with the encapsulated content when the email message is opened by the recipient.

Abstract: A method and program product for tracking a file attachment in an e-mail is provided. The method includes attaching one or more file attachments to an e-mail, selecting one or more return receipt properties for the file attachments attached to the e-mail, sending the e-mail to one or more intended recipients and writing to an e-mail data log file a set of details pertaining to the file attachments attached to the e-mail sent, such that a sender is able to track in the e-mail data log file any file attachments attached to the e-mail sent. Preferably, the method includes notifying the sender when either a delivery failure or a delivery discrepancy occurs for any file attachment attached to the e-mail sent to any intended recipients. More preferably, the method includes managing the set of details pertaining to the file attachments in the e-mail data log file.
