Abstract: Scheduling a given event, in one aspect, may include obtaining a set of one or more business rules, obtaining analytics, and obtaining an event specification. The event specification may include at least one content specification and two or more transmission modes. The event may be scheduled based on the event specification, the analytics and the business rules. The scheduling may be indicated by a tuple comprising event content, one or more communication modes selected from the two or more transmission modes, and timing of the scheduled event.

Abstract: Interruptibility awareness service enables a requestor to learn whether a requestee is interruptible, for instance, by obtaining current social interaction information of a requestee; determining whether the requestee is interruptible based on the requestee's current social interaction information; and returning a response that indicates requestee's interruptibility.

Abstract: A target receiver may receive a location-related specification and a time period-related specification, the time period-related specification specifying time period in which to check for the location-related specification. A location monitor may determine current location-related information. A time period monitor may determine current time-related information. An analyzer may determine whether a pair of the location-related specification and the time-period related specification is satisfied by the current-location information and the current time-related information. The analyzer may further provide notification as to whether the pair of the location-related specification and the time-period related specification is satisfied by the current-location information and the current time-related information.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for automatically providing a dynamically updated optimized itinerary (continuous optimization in real-time) which allows one to complete a specified task and also to complete other tasks from a to-do list, providing the user both with a packing list of resources to carry and a list of tasks that must be completed before leaving. The system and method also tracks the time and user's location to provide user with a new itinerary in the event a given task cannot be completed successfully. The method also provides an alert in case no practicable itinerary exists.

Abstract: Automatically adjusting rendered fidelity of an element in a composition may include detecting an element added to a composition and determining fidelity of an added element's rendering based on rendering of one or more other elements in the composition. Rendering of the added element may be automatically adjusted to the determined fidelity to match the rendering of said one or more other elements in the composition.

Abstract: A target receiver may receive a location-related specification and a time period-related specification, the time period-related specification specifying time period in which to check for the location-related specification. A location monitor may determine current location-related information. A time period monitor may determine current time-related information. An analyzer may determine whether a pair of the location-related specification and the time-period related specification is satisfied by the current-location information and the current time-related information. The analyzer may further provide notification as to whether the pair of the location-related specification and the time-period related specification is satisfied by the current-location information and the current time-related information.

Abstract: A small baseline audio sample is sampled when a person initially calls in and the sample is held only for the duration of the call. For each subsequent transfer, a comparison is made to the baseline established from the initial call and at the end of the call the voice sample is discarded so no resources need to be maintained. Speaker verification and VOIP technologies are used to persist the customer's verification information as service representative hand-offs occur.

Abstract: One or more artifact drafts may be associated with each of a plurality of artifacts, each of the artifact drafts representing a state of the associated artifact at a point in time and one or more commands in a command stack that transformed the artifact draft's parent into the artifact draft. Multiple traceability links and traceability vertices represent connections between the artifact drafts of the artifacts. A traceability link includes an edge between an artifact draft of an artifact and an artifact draft of another artifact. A module is operable to navigate through said one or more artifacts of the plurality of artifacts from a reference temporal point via the plurality of traceability links.

Abstract: Reverse metadata viewing by multiple parties, in one aspect, determines one or more second users that share one or more concerns of the first user, enable the first user to select said one or more second users. One or more concerns of said selected one or more second users are determined based on metadata information in electronic artifacts associated with said selected one or more second users. The first user is enabled to explore said one or more concerns of said selected one or more second users.

Abstract: Providing an electronic itemized list of purchases made by a user, in one aspect, may include receiving data associated with the user and one or more purchases made by the user, storing the data in an itemized purchase database, enabling access to the data, and providing an itemized list of purchases based on the data in accordance with one or more query criteria.

Abstract: A mark-based containment system, in one aspect, may include a graphical user interface operable to receive an indication of a mark as a container marking, attribute one or more container attributes to the container marking, and store the container mark and the container attributes associated with the container mark.

Abstract: An ownership management system automatically may generate cost model of owning an object, schedule savings to fund the object and pay for the ownership of the object based on the cost model.

Abstract: The system and method in one aspect allow understanding of Boolean expressions by representing them graphically as a flow of information. NOTs are represented as switches in the flow, capturing the original structure of the expression as written by the user. Verification of those expressions with live data is also enabled.

Abstract: A target receiver may receive a location-related specification and a time period-related specification, the time period-related specification specifying time period in which to check for the location-related specification. A location monitor may determine current location-related information. A time period monitor may determine current time-related information. An analyzer may determine whether a pair of the location-related specification and the time-period related specification is satisfied by the current-location information and the current time-related information. The analyzer may further provide notification as to whether the pair of the location-related specification and the time-period related specification is satisfied by the current-location information and the current time-related information.

Abstract: Bundling web browser session contexts may include aggregating a list of currently open browser web pages and presenting the list to a user. A user may select one or more browser web pages from the list. Based on the selected one or more browser web pages, a context bundle is generated and saved.

Abstract: A method for evaluating the requirements of a task with the capabilities of an entity includes generating a first visual representation, creating a mask based on the first visual representation, applying the mask to a second visual representation, and generating a third visual representation conveying which task requirements the entity is capable of satisfying. The first visual representation includes the requirements of the task, the second visual representation includes the capabilities of the entity, and the third visual representation is generated based on the application of the mask to the second visual representation.
