Abstract: An improved solution for managing processes. In particular, resources are allocated to processes based on a determination of the available resources and an anticipated benefit for each process. The anticipated benefit can be derived from a current status of the process (e.g., lagging or accelerated) and/or benefit knowledge learned from past executions of the process using diverse resource sets. One or more additional attributes, such as resource dependency between processes, can also be considered before allocating resources.

Abstract: A portlet state maintenance system can include a portal page setup component configured to generate a logical form in a single portal page from a multiplicity of forms defined within portlet markup aggregated into the single portal page. A portal state save component further can be configured to save state values for selected portlets defined within the logical form. Finally, a portal state restore component can be configured to restore the saved state values in refreshed portlet markup for the selected portlets. Notably, a refresh timing component further can be configured to embed submit auto-initiation logic in the single portal page responsive to identifying a dynamic refresh requirement associated with the portlet markup in the single portal page. Finally, a portlet markup cache can be coupled to the portal state restore component.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to portal view rendering and provide a method, system and computer program product for portlet view processing with render-when-ready portlets. In one embodiment, a portal server system can be provided which can include a portal server configured to render a portal page, and a portlet aggregator configured to provide portlet markup for different portlets in different temporary documents linked to the portal page. The different temporary documents can be linked to the portal page through corresponding hidden frames disposed in the portal page. Moreover, each of the different temporary documents can include a script programmed to write contained portlet markup to an element in the portal page responsive to a triggering event. Finally, the portal page can include one or more span elements, each of the span elements being referenced by the script in a corresponding one of the different temporary documents.

Abstract: An invention is disclosed for automated scheduling and management of meetings. Specifically, a method and system are disclosed for using a computer software application to automatically schedule and manage agendas for presentation-style meetings, through the operation of programmed rules designed to optimize presentation schedules by acting upon criteria provided by meeting participants so as to resolve any conflicts arising amongst them.

Abstract: CIM elements are retrieved from the management definition object and a determination is made as to whether the element is a non-instance element or an instance element. If the element is a non-instance element and a qualifier is found in the management object, then the corresponding name is used. If the qualifier is not found, then the CIM element name is used. If the element is an instance element and a qualifier is found then the name corresponding to the qualifier is used. If there is no qualifier then a determination is made as to the number of non-propagated key properties. If there is one non-propagated key property then the value of the property is used. If there are more than one non-propagated key properties, then a display name is constructed from each non-propagated key property and its corresponding value.

Abstract: A generic management definition object, described using a CIM MOF file or an Extensible Markup Language document, can be used to format display panels that are independent of a management console. A generic integration layer is created between the management data and the display and behavior of such data. A transformation engine is used to convert data definitions included in management data to a formatted structure that is stored in a repository. A translation engine renders the formatted structure into graphical user interface constructs that are independent of any particular management console architecture. The transformation and translation engines coordinate a set of processes that facilitate the display and manipulation of the management data object's data model. GUI display panels that support the management model are generated in a console neutral manner so that the same panels are displayed from a variety of management consoles.

Abstract: NLS translations can be provided by extracting translatable strings from the management definition object, such as a CIM MOF file, and writing the strings into one or more translation files. A unique identifier is assigned to each translatable string. The identifier is included in the management definition object as well as the various translation files. By creating unique identifiers, a particular translated string can be found in one of the translation files. In this manner, different users can specify different languages. Display text is retrieved by retrieving the identifier located in the management definition object. The translation file corresponding to the user's preferred language is then searched for the translated string. Translated strings can be gathered for display panels when the product is packaged. Translated strings can also be gathered at runtime when called for by a particular display panel or other display object.
