A computer implanted method of updating a user joining a group after a user-relevant topic has been discussed, the method includes, with a processor operatively-coupled to a memory: identifying the user joining group after a first topic has been discussed in the current session of the group; and determining interest of the user in the first topic, wherein if the first topic is determined to be of interest to the user, providing an automated summary of the first topic to the user.

Meeting management

A method includes establishing a hierarchy of related software object classes according to a service, receiving data from an external process to invoke the service, and organizing the data received from the external process according to the hierarchy. A system includes a graphical user interface on a computing device configured to allow a user to organize a plurality of related software object classes into a hierarchy according to a service, and a service interface on a computing device configured to organize data received from an external service according to the hierarchy to allow the external process to invoke the service.

Service interface creation and modification for object-oriented services

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for controlling an electronic device based on mapping sensors to a physical asset. Embodiments of the present invention may include controlling or sending commands to an electronic device associated with a physical asset based on a mapping, where the mapping involves creating one or more groupings, based on sensor data, grouping data, and asset data, wherein at least one grouping comprises a physical asset and one or more sensors, and wherein the asset data pertains to the physical asset. Embodiments of the present invention may further include ranking the groupings by confidence level, and mapping the sensors to the physical asset based on a user selection received in response to presenting, to a user, the ranked groupings based on the confidence levels.

Asset and device management

A method of binding a web service to a business application includes dynamically extending the executable code of the business application while the business application is being executed by a networked web service client device. The dynamic extension of the business application creates a persistent customizable web service interaction between the business application and a selected web service.

Web service interaction in a dynamically extensible business application

A method, system, and computer program product for managing events generated from business objects in a business transactions environment are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A first event being raised by a business object in a plurality of business objects configured in a business entity is detected. The business entity executes in the data processing system and provides a function for processing a request. A determination is made whether a second event has been detected prior to the first event and during the processing of the request. In response to the determining being affirmative, first event data associated with the first event is combined with second event data stored from the second event. The combining results in consolidated event data. The consolidated event data is published in response to the request upon completing the processing of the request.
