Abstract: A document search and retrieval system and program product therefor. Search requests are provided to the system through a user interface. A document decomposer decomposes documents into individual document components. Document components and corresponding searchable indices for each are stored in a Component Library. A search unit searches stored document components responsive to search queries. A results validator compares document hitlists with a document type identified in a search query to select valid hitlists entries for a final hitlist. A document view assembly module collects identified document components and assembles them into a document for view at the user interface.

Abstract: Under the present invention source code can be shared among nodes in a peer-to-peer network. Specifically, source code to be shared will first be analyzed to identify a set of code patterns, assigned one or more predetermined categories based on the set of code patterns, and then selectively indexed. A developer desiring to use previously created source code when creating a new program can perform a context dependent search based on his/her working code to identify and retrieve relevant source code.

Abstract: Under the present invention, it is determined whether sufficient resources exist for deploying a platform dependent application on its specific “native” platform in a grid environment. If not, a platform dependent portion of the application is identified, and the application is split into the platform dependent portion and a platform independent portion. Thereafter, the platform dependent portion is deployed on its corresponding native platform, while the platform independent portion is deployed on another platform in the grid environment based on available resources. Interconnections between the two portions can then be automatically generated. This can include, for example, creating remote method invocation facade interfaces, creating remote method invocation-enabled facade classes, and building a remote method invocation server for the first platform.

Abstract: A system and method for organizing document search results include identifying words having an association with search query terms. Features of the words are categorized in relation to the search query terms. The results of the document search are presented in at least one category in accordance with the features.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for associating events. A provided event dataset includes events occurring in each of N successive time intervals (N?3). Association rules pertaining to successive events in the event dataset are deduced. Sequences of events are generated from the association rules. Clusters of the sequences of events are formed. Sequences of the clusters are created. The clusters of the sequences may be used: to identify at least one event occurring in a time interval of the N time intervals as being a probable cause of at least one event occurring in a later-occurring time interval of the N time intervals; or to predict an occurrence of at least one event in a time interval occurring after the N time intervals, wherein the at least one event had occurred within the N time intervals.

Abstract: An automatic search index/meta data self-enhancement system includes a search system log analyzer, which periodically looks through the search system log, of a database, for search queries that did not bring satisfactory results; a search query analyzer which applies query enhancement techniques to the unsatisfactory queries by using glossary terms, synonyms, known typos, translated words, etc. to enhance the queries and categorize them; a relevant document finder which, based on the enhanced query terms and their categorization and subject, uncovers documents that were not previously found and links the documents to the query terms in the search index; and a search index/meta data enhancer, that enhances the meta/data of the documents based on the enhanced query terms in the search index, to reflect these new keywords to allow documents turned up by the enhanced query to be returned when similar future searches are entered by users.

Abstract: A system and method for providing automatic scheduling and establishment of telephone conferences over a network such as the Internet. A user inputs conference information to a desktop application, and the scheduling, the contacting of participants, and the control of the conference are conducted automatically. If the conference is scheduled to dial out to the participants and is marked as a calendar entry, the desktop application stores the conference information, including the start/end time of a conference, the telephone numbers of the participants, the choice of service provider, and an account id. Once a teleconference calendar entry is created, the process starts and the conference is established automatically. At the scheduled time, the desktop application warns the user by running an alarm function to remind them of the time of the conference.
