Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a local network device establishes a communication session with a remote network device in the communication network, and designates at least one program from a plurality of programs executable by the local network device for access by the remote network device to yield a designated program. The local network device further generates a shared display object, and associates each designated program with the shared display object to permit display thereof. The local network device further instantiates one or more shared control objects associated with the shared display object, and facilitate access to each designated program for the remote network device using at least one of the one or more shared control objects.

Abstract: Search results returned by ad hoc queries integrate search results with usage analytics calculated from collected usage information for a system, such as a content management system. In response to receiving a query, the query is submitted to the system to obtain search results. Information from the usage analytics is integrated with the obtained search results. A search index of the system may include all/portion of the usage analytics such that the obtained results from the system may already be integrated with the usage analytics. The system is configurable such that users of the system may configure the usage events that are used to collect the usage information. The users may also configure parameters relating to the usage events and when/how the collected information is stored. The usage analytics may also be used to filter, collapse and boost different items in the search results.

Abstract: An analysis application utilizes interactivity signals to generate relationships and promote content. One or more interactivity applications, such as a social networking application, are queried to retrieve interactivity signals. Interactivity signals include an interaction pattern that indicates a relationship between a user and relations of the user. A relationship graph is constructed based on the interactivity signals. Content associated with a user is promoted based on the relationship graph. A weight of the interactivity signals is adjusted to improve a ranking of the relationship graph and a ranking of the content.

Abstract: Data indicating a plurality of informational items is received at a processor. The data further comprises at least one useful informational item. Also received at the processor is data indicating a plurality of questions, including at least one unanswered question. The processor analyzes the data to determine a number of unanswered questions and a number of useful informational items. The processor generates a visualization comparing the number useful informational items to the number of unanswered questions. The visualization is displayed on a display.
