Abstract: A method of operating a message system can include maintaining a list of users of the message system and maintaining a connection list and a message stream for each user of the message system. After receiving a message from a first user of the message system, the received message can be published on the message stream of the first user and on the message streams of the users identified in the first user's connection list. If the received message is detected to be a reply to an earlier message from a second user, then the earlier message can be published on the message streams of the users identified in the first user's connection list, who are not in the second user's connection list.

Abstract: A method and computer program product for pre-rendering web content is described. A method may comprise receiving, via a computing device, an implicit indication of a request for web content associated with a web element. The method may further comprise pre-rendering the web content associated with the web element based upon, at least in part, the implicit indication of the request for the web content.

Abstract: A request for a web page is received from a client device at a web server. At least a source web application and a target web application relating to the requested web page is identified. An output from the source web application and an output from the target web application are requested. A source style of the source web application is requested. The source style is combined with the output of the source web application and the output of the target web application into the requested web page. The requested web page is sent to the client device.

Abstract: A method for creating a personalized content layout for a user interface is provided. The method may comprise providing a content layout framework, monitoring and storing usage data over time of a content fragment, displayed in the content layout framework, promoting or demoting the content fragment in respect to its presentation within the content layout framework based on a first value of a first parameter of the parameter model, wherein the promotion or demotion uses an abrasion factor, such that a content fragment appearance degrades or increases from session to session of usage of the content layout framework depending on a predefined function deployed to the first value of the first parameter of the parameter model.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and respective system for binding a portlet into a web portal infrastructure comprising at least one portal and a plurality of portlets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of network computing, and in particular to Web contents accessible via a Portal. It particularly relates to a method and system for controlling the layout of markup fragments of a plurality of Portlets aggregated in web pages of a web Portal. In order to provide a method with improved flexibility for the administration of a Portal which allows to generate a consistent look and feel in a Portal, it is proposed that a) a Portal control component provides a template means to said Portlets, b) wherein the template means comprises a layout specification for GUI-elements to be generated by the Portlets, and c) wherein the Portlets generate a markup code according to prescriptions comprised of said template means.

Abstract: The present invention provides a security module for Web application, especially a portal application, using a rewriter proxy. The security module ensures that the rewritten URIs are appended by an authentication identifier for determining whether the rewritten URI has not been changed. Preferably, the authentication identifier can be generated by applying a secure hash algorithm and/or secret key to the original URIs of the remote resource or the entire rewritten URIs. When a client activates those URIs, a request is sent to the rewriter proxy. Before a connection to the access protected remote resource is established, the security module validates whether the URIs contained in the user client request have been changed by the user.

Abstract: A network-based communication and information discovery solution that pertains to network-accessible resources and the use of interlinks among resources. In one embodiment, dynamic interlinking of resources is proposed, wherein the resources reside in a web-based system and are accessible via web-clients. The resources can be representable by an administrator in a graph-like structure interlinking the resources with each other and thus defining a navigation model. An extended navigation model can be implemented by a user-generated, personal or collaborative interlinking functionality.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system to be performed by a WSRP consumer portal server for accessing a remote network resource addressed by a respective resource URL in a web portal infrastructure comprising at least a WSRP Consumer Portal connectable to a client Browser requesting the remote network resource, and a remote communication partner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of network computing, and in particular to Web contents accessible via a Portal. It particularly relates to a method and system for controlling the layout of markup fragments of a plurality of Portlets (120) aggregated in web pages of a web Portal. In order to provide a method with improved flexibility for the administration of a Portal which allows to generate a consistent look and feel in a Portal, it is proposed that a) a Portal control component provides a template means (400) to said Portlets (120), b) wherein the template means (400) comprises a layout specification for GUI-elements to be generated by the Portlets (120), and c) wherein the Portlets (120) generate a markup code according to prescriptions comprised of said template means (400).
