| 20080282261 | APPLICATION MODULE FOR MANAGING INTERACTIONS OF DISTRIBUTED MODALITY COMPONENTS - A method for managing application modalities using dialogue states can include the step of asserting a set of activation conditions associated with a dialogue state of an application. Each of the activation conditions can be linked to at least one programmatic action, wherein different programmatic actions can be executed by different modality components. The application conditions can be monitored. An application event can be detected resulting in an associated application condition being run. At least one programmatic action linked to the application condition can be responsively initiated. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090125898 | System and Apparatus for Real-Time Dynamic Modification of Service-Oriented Systems Using Annotations to Specify Real-Time System Constraints - A system for modifying an existing standard-based system at runtime can include a computer having an annotation framework layer configured to execute in conjunction with the standard-based system. Responsive to a user request, the annotation framework layer can associate a constraint with a selected message type. The constraint can specify a limitation on information that is requested within a service request type of message. The annotation framework layer can intercept a message exchanged between a client and a Web-based service and apply the constraint. When the intercepted message is a service request type of message, at least one parameter of the intercepted message can be modified to conform with the limitation after the service request is sent from the client and prior to the service request being received by the Web-based service. The message can be stored. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20100162222 | Using Collaborative Annotations to Specify Real-Time Process Flows and System Constraints - A method of modifying an existing standard-based system using collaborative annotations can include associating an annotation with a message of the standard-based system. The message can correspond to a first service and the annotation can specify at least one of a second service. The method further can include intercepting the message and executing the annotation. At least one of the second service can be automatically invoked according to the annotation. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100217867 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING AND USING SERVICE DEPENDENCY GRAPHS TO AUTOMATE THE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF SERVICE ORIENTED APPLICATIONS - An embodiment of the invention provides a method for identifying and combining services. More specifically, the method identifies services in a domain and domain concepts within the domain, wherein the domain concepts are input and output of the services. A network of services is created, which includes metadata of the services and relationship data of the services. The relationship data of the services includes relationships of the services to one another and relationships of the services to the domain concepts. A domain ontology is also created, which includes the domain concepts and relationship data of the domain concepts. The relationship data of the domain concepts includes relationships of the domain concepts to one another and relationships of the domain concepts to the services. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20080244059 | MANAGING APPLICATION INTERACTIONS USING DISTRIBUTED MODALITY COMPONENTS - A method for managing multimodal interactions can include the step of registering a multitude of modality components with a modality component server, wherein each modality component handles an interface modality for an application. The modality component can be connected to a device. A user interaction can be conveyed from the device to the modality component for processing. Results from the user interaction can be placed on a shared memory are of the modality component server. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090094329 | SOLUTION FOR MANAGING MULTIPLE RELATED DISCUSSION THREADS IN AN ONLINE COLLABORATION ENVIRONMENT - The present invention discloses a server-side collaboration system that includes a set of discussion threads, a server-side software component, and a server-side data store. The discussion threads can be managed by a collaboration session leader. The collaboration session leader can be a user authorized to define the topic, to create the plurality of discussion threads for the topic, and to assign a set of participants to each created discussion thread. The server-side software component can permit remotely located clients to post and view content by discussion thread during a real-time collaboration, which includes a text exchange capability. Client using participants can be restricted to posting content to discussion threads as authorized by the collaboration session leader. The server-side data store can maintain a viewable history of posted content organized by discussion thread. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090187656 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR SCHEDULING PATTERN BASED WEB SERVICES - A method of scheduling a request for a plurality of Web services can include providing service activation rules. Each service activation rule can specify a trigger condition and a state condition for causing a watcher to invoke a particular Web service. The method also can include receiving an event indicating a change in a common memory, wherein each event specifies trigger information, comparing the trigger conditions of the service activation rules with the trigger information of the event, adding the service activation rules that match the event to a trigger list, and comparing the state conditions of service activation rules in the trigger list with a state of the common memory. The service activation rules of the trigger list that match the state of the common memory can be selected thereby causing the invocation of at least one watcher and corresponding Web service. | 07-23-2009 |
