Abstract: A computing system for managing storage relative to a storage subsystem is provided. The computing system includes a processor and a first interface configured to interact with a deployed software system using a representational state transfer communication technique. A second interface is configured to interact with the storage subsystem in accordance with the representational state transfer technique. The computing system is configured to interact with the storage subsystem via the second interface in response to a request from the deployed software system via the first interface and to provide an output to the deployed software system through the first interface based on the interaction with the storage subsystem.

Abstract: A series of unique records may be published to establish and maintain ad hoc or online meetings on a peer-to-peer network. The published records include a creator record, a presentation record, a file sharing record, a friendly name record, and invitation status record, a capabilities record, and a presence record. Each of the published records has a global unique identifier (GUID) a uniquely and universally identifies each of the record types.

Abstract: A method of interfacing applets with a collaboration program is disclosed. The method may be in the form of application programming interface calls.

Abstract: An application and its associated user interface provide a meeting window for use in organizing and holding meetings using peer-to-peer network facilities. The meeting window offers menu selections for choosing a network over which to hold the meeting and for discovering and inviting meeting participants. The meeting window includes three main panes, one each for managing attendees, for distributing files to attendees, and for streaming presentation materials real-time to attendees. Data streaming is also supported to network devices such as projectors. Control of the presentation may be delegated by the presentation owner to another attendee, and may also be revoked by the presentation owner. The real-time streaming of the presentation may be paused and resumed to accommodate meeting dynamics or real-time changes.
