Abstract: Access is obtained to a plurality of intermediately transformed electronic documents (with a plurality of sections and subsections) which have been transformed, by topical analysis and text summarization techniques, from a plurality of original electronic documents comprising at least some unstructured electronic documents. Audit and retrieval agent code is appended to the sections and subsections to create a plurality of finally transformed electronic documents. Users are allowed to access the finally transformed electronic documents. The users are provided with accountability reminders contemporaneous with the access. The access of the users to the sections and subsections of the finally transformed electronic documents is logged. An audit report is provided based on the logging. Also provided is a cloud service for enterprise-level sensitive data protection with variable data granularity, using one or more one guest virtual machine images.

Abstract: Access is obtained to a hierarchically structured document having a plurality of hierarchical levels. For each of the hierarchical levels, a word list with a word count for each word included therein is obtained. For each of the hierarchical levels, a tag cloud based on a corresponding one of the word counts is created. At least one of the tag clouds is displayed in association with a label for a corresponding one of the hierarchical levels.

Abstract: Under the present invention, an illustrative feature is to provide a method and system/structure for remotely controlling multiple computer systems by interacting with GUIs. Specifically, the present invention allows a controlled computer/system to be remotely controlled via a controlling computer/system. To this extent, data/action capture instrumentation is provided on the controlling system for automatically creating a representation of content of the GUI of the controlling system, for automatically observing a set of actions performed by a user on the GUI of the controlling system, for automatically creating a representation of the observed actions, and for sending to the controlled system the representation of the observed actions. In addition, execution instrumentation is provided on the controlled system for receiving the representation and replicating the actions on the controlled system by interacting with a GUI of the controlled system.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for aligning document actions specified in a documented procedure with demonstrated user actions. The apparatus includes an alignment device for computing an alignment between the document actions and the demonstrated user actions based on at least one similarity metric.

Abstract: As indicated above, an exemplary feature of the present invention is to automatically identify corresponding GUI elements on different computer systems, or the same computer system at different points in time. Specifically, under the present invention, a user action on a widget of a GUI provided by an application loaded a first computer system is observed, and information about the widget(s) involved in the user action as well as on all other widget(s) in the GUI is collected and associated with the user action. Thereafter a widget(s) (on which the user action is to be performed) of a GUI provided by the application as loaded on a second computer system is robustly identified using the collection information. Then, the action is performed on the identified widget(s). In identifying the widget(s), the present invention utilizes a set of hard and soft constraints to identify a matching widget(s).

Abstract: Displays are generated on screens of computer interfaces that facilitate viewing search results in context. Each image returned as a search result is visually presented to a user with additional context images from the same digital media object from which the search result image is taken. If the media object is a slide presentation, the additional context images can include immediately preceding and succeeding slides or other slides in the presentation.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for maintaining a collection of test scripts. At least one test script module is identified that is common to at least two unmodularized test scripts that are each associated with a common application. The at least two unmodularized test scripts are divided into modularized test scripts that each comprise the at least one test script module. An update to the common application is received and at least one of the at least one test script modules is updated in response to the update of the common application. The updating of each of the at least one of the at least one test script module causes a corresponding update to the at least two unmodularized test scripts.

Abstract: Techniques for altering application user-interface controls are provided. More particularly the customization of a new or existing user-interface control in an application user-interface is provided. In one aspect of the invention, a method for customizing user-interface controls of an existing application comprises the recording of a procedure description performed by a user in the application user-interface. A new or modified application user-interface control relating to the procedure description is then installed in the existing application.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for facilitating creation of a presentation by a user. In one embodiment, an input unit is configured to receive a target outline for a target presentation. An outline unit is configured to generate context-sensitive queries based, in part, on the hierarchical relationships of the outline topics in the target presentation. A search unit is configured to search a presentation repository using the context-sensitive queries for matching presentation slides that are relevant to the outline topics of the target presentation. An output unit is configured to present the matching presentation slides for evaluation by the user.
