The system obtains input text in character form indicative of the target meeting from a calendar program that includes the time of the meeting. As the time of the meeting approaches, the calendar program is queried to obtain the text of the target event and that information us utilized as input to the agent system. Then, the agent system parses the input meeting text to extract its various components such as title, body, participants, location, time etc. The system also performs pattern matching to identify particular meeting fields in a meeting text.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2011Publication date: July 5, 2012Inventors: Chad Burkey, Denise Ho -
Publication number: 20120173556Abstract: A method and system for managing semantic and syntactic metadata. Heterogeneous data is received. After the heterogeneous data is received, the semantic metadata associated with the received heterogeneous data is captured and syntactic metadata associated with the received heterogeneous data is captured. The semantic metadata describes contextually relevant or domain-specific information about data based on an industry-specific or enterprise-specific metadata model or ontology. The syntactic metadata included grammatical rules and structural patterns governing an ordered use of formats and arrangement pertaining to specified data. The received heterogeneous data and said captured semantic metadata and said syntactic metadata are logically linked. The heterogeneous data is stored in a repository.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2012Publication date: July 5, 2012Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ock Kee Baek, Arti Abhay Kale, Tao Liu, Pradeep Madaiah

Patent number: 8214461Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of processing a request by a server computer system begins with a step of receiving an object. The object comprises the request, an exception criterion, and a recovery operation. The method continues with a step of determining that the server computer system is unable to fulfill the request due to an exception which meets the exception criterion. The method concludes with a step of applying the recovery operation to resolve the exception. In an embodiment, the server computer system comprises a resource management system for a shared computing environment and the object comprises a resource request object. The resource request object comprises a resource request, the exception criteria, and the recovery operation. The resource request indicates resources requested from the shared computing environment by a start time and for a time period.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2004Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Sven Graupner, Sharad Singhal, James C. Pruyne

Patent number: 8204046Abstract: Service resource items for use in call setup in a telephone system are held on servers that are connected to a computer network which is logically distinct from the telephone system infrastructure; this computer network may, for example, make use of the Internet. Each service item is locatable on the network at a corresponding URI and is associated with a particular telephone number. A mapping is provided between telephone numbers and the URIs of associated service resource items. When it is desired to access a service resource item associated with a particular telephone number, this mapping is used to retrieve the corresponding URI which is then used to access the desired service resource item.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2010Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Comcast IP Holdings I, LLCInventors: Colin Low, Andrew Franklin Seaborne, Nicolas Bouthors
