Patent number: 10834145Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for monitoring, at a computing device, at least a portion of a collaboration session provided by one or more participants of the collaboration session. At least the portion of the collaboration session is analyzed to determine a recommendation associated with at least the portion of the collaboration session. A source for information associated with the recommendation is searched based upon, at least in part, analyzing at least the portion of the collaboration session. At least one participant of the one or more participants is presented the recommendation and the information associated with the recommendation.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Donald E.

Patent number: 10761836Abstract: At least one ALM artifact, indexed by a unified data store, that does not comply with at least one process convention can be identified. Responsive to identifying the ALM artifact, indexed by the unified data store, that does not comply with the process convention, a determination can be made by a process convention agent executed by a processor as to whether script code is available to update the ALM artifact to comply with the process convention. Responsive to the process convention agent determining that script code is available to update the ALM artifact to comply with the process convention, the process convention agent can automatically execute the script code to update the ALM artifact to comply with the process convention.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Muhtar B. Akbulut, Mark T. Buquor, Vivek Garg, Matthew P. Jarvis, David Liman, Nimit K. Patel, Scott R. Patterson, Richard D. Watts, Keith A. Wells

Patent number: 9659089Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for managing work and personal items. Information is received from a user to populate a user profile providing rules to determine a priority for work and personal items to be addressed by the user. Work and personal data sources (e.g., e-mails, social media) are monitored. The content in these monitored data sources are scanned and analyzed for work and personal items to be addressed by the user. These work and personal items are then presented to the user in a prioritized order based on the rules in the user profile. In this manner, the user is able to effectively manage the various work and personal items from various data sources by receiving a prioritized list of work and personal items that need to be addressed based on various factors that the user deems to be important as provided in the user's profile.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Donald E. Buddenbaum, Peter F. Haggar, Heather M. Kreger, Arnaud J. Le Hors, John V. Meegan, Keith A. Wells

Patent number: 8640104Abstract: A computer based method and apparatus generate a class relationship diagram of dynamic language objects. In response to a user selecting a subject object implemented in the dynamic language, a diagramming member forms and displays a class relationship diagram of the subject object The class relationship diagram visually illustrates relationships between the subject object and objects it inherits from and objects it contains as extracted from the inheritance chain of the subject object. UML or graph notation may be employed in the generated class relationship diagram.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2009Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark D.
