  • Patent number: 8627210
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and logic are provided to generate a context enhanced social network (CESN) participant list for meeting participants. One method includes obtaining a list of participants and a meeting context and identifying expert knowledge that is required for the context. Degrees of associations between a first participant and the other participants are calculated based on a level of expert knowledge of the participants. The CESN participant list is generated and displayed for the first meeting participant based on the calculated degrees of associations of the other participants. The method can be repeated such that a unique CESN participant list is generated for each meeting participant based on his perspective in relation to the other meeting participants and based on the current context of the meeting. The CESN participant lists may also be dynamically updated when a change in meeting context is detected.
