Abstract: Web conference performance monitoring systems enable presenters to monitor their audience's content receiving experience and modify their content's transmission characteristics to resolve technical difficulties. A system for monitoring a Web conference's performance includes a local processor; memory operably connected to the local processor; a monitor operably connected to the local processor; content loaded into memory and operable by the local processor; and an audience screen preview program loaded into the memory and operable by the local processor, wherein the audience screen preview program instructs the local processor to measure network throughput of a network connection between the local processor and a remote processor and display at least a portion of the content on the monitor operably connected to the local processor by simulating the content being transmitted to the monitor operably connected to the local processor over the network connection.

Abstract: Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, an apparatus and a computer program product for meeting invitation processing in a calendaring system. In one embodiment, the computer implemented method comprises receiving a meeting invitation request from a user, wherein the meeting invitation includes a set of attributes and analyzing the set of attributes of the meeting invitation request. The computer implemented method further comprises selecting a process from a set of predefined processes comprising a pending meeting indicator process, a multiple meeting display process, an availability probability process, and a prioritized list process to create a selected process, and selectively modifying the selected process to create a modified process. The computer implemented method then invoking the modified process to process the meeting invitation request, and notifying the user.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for correcting a path sequence of an environment variable in a data processing system is provided. In one embodiment, an environment variable manager monitors the data processing system for any change effecting any of the environment variables within the data processing system. If a change effecting the environment variable is detected, the environment variable manager modifies the environment variable to ensure that a proper file is found and used when the file is selected by a user or a running application program. Therefore, when duplicate files exist on the data processing system, the environment variable manager ensures that the incorrect file is not used when the file is requested by a user or a running application program.

Abstract: A system, method and user interface for searching one or more CORBA Interface Repositories for program objects based upon a set of user-specified search criteria. A user interface screen or frame is provided with two panes, the first of which allows a user to specify a variety of criteria for which to search one or more Interface Repositories using form fields, radio buttons, and/or drop-down lists. The search may be restricted to specified object servers or specified object containers. The second display pane provides a textual listing of the found objects, their location or locations, their revision dates, and the list may be selectively re-ordered and sorted. Searches may be stored for later review or transmission to other development team members. A history manager is provided to allow viewing of and selection from a list of previously executed searches.

Abstract: A system, method and user interface for visually browsing and editing one more or CORBA Interface Repositories (“IR”) for program objects. A user selects an Interface Repository and an object within the Interface Repository. The IR Browser/Editor presents a three-pane view graphically depicting a containment tree, an object's interface definition language, and an inheritancy diagram of the selected object. The user may review the full interface definition language of the object, save the IDL or cut-and-paste it to another program such as a code editor for compiling. The user may also select a parent or child object within any of the three panes of the display, which causes the inheritance diagram, containment tree, and IDL panes to be updated to show the parent and child interfaces of the selected object, and the containment tree and IDL for the selected object, accordingly.

Abstract: A method and implementing computer system are provided in which user alert signals are generated whenever an underlying display window in a multi-window display environment requires user attention. In one exemplary embodiment, the user is enabled to specify various preferred characteristics of the alert signals. The alert signals include audio signals, video signals and combinations of selected audio and visual signals. The user is further enabled to specify input an alert repeat interval to define an elapsed time between successive alert signals.

Abstract: A method and implementing computer system is provided in which a software debug program is operable to display to a user the flow of a program being debugged. The program flow is illustrated in an example by highlighting, on a program structural representation which is presented on a display screen, the locations of sequential calls within the program being debugged. In one example, a user is selectively able to stop the debug program at any observed step within the displayed flow sequence, to make programming changes or take other action as may be appropriate. In the example, the debug program user is also able to select an automatic sequencing through the flow of a program being developed and to designate a preferred display time duration for each step of the displayed sequencing.
