Abstract: A method for role-based personalization of a collaborative space can include generating a collaborative space utilizing role information for an interacting user that has been defined by an underlying business process model in a workflow. For example, the step of generating a collaborative space can include parsing the workflow to extract a role model, generating a collaborative space domain model from the role model, selecting a plurality of user interface components based upon the role model, organizing the selected user interface components in the collaborative space, and rendering the collaborative space.

Abstract: Methods for generating auxiliary data operations for a role-based personalized business user workplace based on business processes includes analyzing a work-low of a business process to specify business items as an input or output of a task in the business process; identifying data operations for each one of the business items by examining associated attributes and usage of the business item; categorizing the data operations by associating common data operations to the business items, and attaching specific data operations based on the context of the workflow and use by particular business item instances of the business item; and assigning a user role for access to the business items.

Abstract: Computer user working environment has been evolved from punch card & paper tape to mouse click native window based in past few decades. This invention takes the course of this continuing evolution and creating a web based computer user work environment for a control management station and its associated systems on the network crossing Intranet, Internet or LAN. Therefore, users can access and manage the control management station and all its associated system through web browser on any other systems or devices. To establish a web based computer user work environment, the resources information on control management station and on associated systems on network need to be collected and convert them to standard structured format for web based communication and further displaying them in web browser. These information need to be collected by control management station at its and the associated systems' boot up time or at the time when user login and request to access and manage these resources.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bus system comprising a first station (202) and a second station (203), (204), coupled by a bus for transferring messages, said bus being designed to operate in accordance with a protocol in which said first station (202) periodically sends messages in a predetermined order to the second station (203), (204), wherein said first station (202) comprises an interruptible processor (206), a memory element (208) comprising a buffer (501, 502), and a bus interface (207), wherein said interruptible processor (206) can be operated so as to generate a plurality of series of message properties; wherein said processor (206) can further be operated so as to issue a first series of message properties from among said plurality of series of message properties to said buffer (501, 503), and upon receipt of an interrupt signal from said bus interface issues a second series of message properties from among said plurality of series of message properties; wherein said buffer (501, 502) has a storage

Abstract: A process and system is provided for setting up a polling interval for a device that sends a not acknowledged (NAK) signal. The process determines the number of times the device sends a NAK signal before a successful data transfer; and also determines a statistical parameter based on the number of times the NAK signal is received before a successful data transfer; and sets a polling interval for the device based on the statistical parameter. The statistical parameter may be an average, median, maximum or minimum number of times the NAK signal is received before successful data transfer. A polling interval may also be set based upon the number times the NAK signal is received, wherein the polling interval increases with the number of NAK signals. The polling interval may double after every NAK signal.
