Abstract: An enterprise system with secure wireless messaging includes an application service to process a message. The enterprise system also includes a security service that uses a cryptographic technique to transform between the message and a secure message that is based on the message. A communication service communicates the secure message with a mobile client using a public network. The message may be secured using a cryptographic technique to provide end-to-end security. The enterprise system also may include an information service including information indicating occurrence of a triggering event. The information indicating occurrence of a triggering event may cause the enterprise system to push a secure message to the mobile client.

Abstract: A method for managing message notification to a user, comprising the operations of: receiving a message addressed to the user; obtaining context information based on the context the user is in; obtaining a user's preference based on the obtained context information; depending on the obtained user's preference, selectively generating and delivering a message notification to the user for notifying the user of the received message.

Abstract: A method, for automatically controlling a data submission in a forum, the control being based on the respective data content, comprises: the data content submitted by a user for the forum is automatically parsed with respect to specifically selected characters, the selected characters being provided together with respective selection ancillary information, if any selected character is found within the data content, the respective selection ancillary information is analyzed, the data is handled conformable with the analyzed respective selection ancillary information, an answer for the user is elaborated, the answer including the respective found character together with an appropriate analysis of its selection ancillary information and informing the user about the manner the data is handled, and the elaborated answer is communicated to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically organizing and achieving a pre-given task by means of plurality of robots, each robot having a robot specific set of functionalities, are described. In an example implementation, a method can include the following steps: providing and exposing, for each robot, a semantic description of the robot's robot specific functionalities by respective semantic web services; providing a semantic description of the pre-given task; matching the semantically described task with the semantic web services describing the robot specific functionalities; and combining automatically a coordinated set of the plurality of robots according to the matching result, such that the task is achieved when the robots are sequentially working upon invocation.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for chat detection is provided. In one embodiment, the invention is a method. The method includes detecting a series of related emails.

Abstract: An electronic mail system identifies autoreply messages and stores the date of return in a virtual calendar. The system then uses the virtual calendar for several features. A user can attempt to access the calendar of another user, and if that user's calendar is not accessible, then information from the virtual calendar is displayed. Also, when a user is sending a message, the virtual calendar is checked to see if a message recipient is out of the office. In another embodiment, the virtual calendar is accessed when a user creates a meeting request to determine if any meeting attendees will be out of the office at the time of the scheduled meeting. The system also has the ability to remind users of the date that a person returns to the office, and to delete entries from the virtual calendar at the appropriate time.
