Techniques for incorporating an electrically mutable display in product packaging and forming an aggregate display therefrom are disclosed herein. A system includes a plurality of display systems. Each display system includes a display device. The display systems are configured to form an aggregate display including the display device of each display system. Each display system is configured to determine the relative location of the display system among the plurality of display systems. Based on the determined location, each display system provides, via the display device of the display system, a portion of the aggregate display.

Aggregate display

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for automatically creating a speech-based user interface involve identifying a software service definition that includes service inputs, service outputs, and context data and accessing a standard user interface incorporating the service input and output. The standard user interface defines a set of valid inputs for the service input and a set of available outputs, at least one of which based on the context data. Audio data is associated with at least some of the inputs in the set of valid inputs to define a set of valid speech inputs. A speech-based user interface is automatically generated from the standard user interface and the set of valid speech inputs.

Generating speech-enabled user interfaces

A method, system, and computer program product for matching developers or entities with certain skills with work projects is provided. In one embodiment, a project manager utilizes a bid management agent which receives project specifications from the project manager specifying such things as, for example, project duration, work product desired, skill sets desired by the developers, experience level desired of the developers, and compensation. The bid management agent broadcasts a request for quotes for the project to utilization management agents. Each utilization management agent is employed by a different developer or entity and receives and tracks the interests and skills and other attributes of the developer and sends a quote to a bid management agent when it receives a request for a quote for a project which matches the interests, skills, availability, and other attributes of the developer for which the utilization management agent is employed. The bid management agent sends contracts to utilization management agents from which it receives quotes it deems acceptable based on project manager specified criteria.
