A significant recent trend in the internet and mobile telephony has been the dominance of user generated content. As such, in mobile technology have permitted users to upload content onto the internet, whereby sites provide an easily accessible and manageable medium for users to share their thoughts and form a portal for media-rich exchanges. It has been found that much of what is exchanged by users in such settings is context-sensitive, ranging from users' moods and opinions, to communication about users' plans. Broadly contemplated herein, in accordance with at least one embodiment of the invention, is the employment of data mining in information repositories settings to efficiently classify an information stream in real-time and thereby discern user intent.

Real-time data mining

Techniques for enabling real-time enterprise workforce management over a telecom network are provided. The techniques include receiving real-time workforce information from one or more telecom networks, and using the real-time information for dynamic load optimization to enable real-time enterprise workforce management.

A virtual machine of an information handling system (IHS) initializes an operating system to provide partition file system memory management during application execution. The operating system employs multiple partitions that include one or more applications for execution within the virtual machine. A file system tool identifies write operations to a global file system and generates local and common file system information. The file system tool populates the local file systems that include delta local file systems and differential file systems with write operation data. The file system tool may generate stackable common delta file system information to store write operation data common to two or more partitions that employ executing applications. The file system tool may combine or separate stackable common delta file system information to provide improvements in virtual machine memory utilization.

Systems, methods, apparatuses and program products configured to provide a topology-service tool are described. A presence-federation solution asset is leveraged to address topology-federation problems. A network topology tool takes as input network endpoints, for example caller and callee telephone numbers, determines a network service flow used to connect the network endpoints, and develops a network topology view of the service flow along with associated network device related information.

Systems and methods for service assurance using virtualized federated presence infrastructure

Systems and associated methods for providing scalable presence subscriptions in federated presence environments are described. Embodiments provide for intelligent addition of subscriptions to a presence system. Embodiments identify if a virtualized presentity (corresponding to a new query) can be composed from existing virtualized presentities, and if so, corresponding query processing cells (QPCs) (servicing existing queries) are reused to retrieve the presence information (partially or fully) for the new incoming query. Embodiments organize the existing QPCs into a hierarchy such that a QPC/virtual presentity at a higher layer fetches presence information of all or some presentities from QPCs/virtual presentities at lower layer(s) to service the new query.

Embodiments of the invention are related to identifying a user's intent dynamically from at least a set of metadata associated with the user, wherein the set of metadata is associated with a user input, and providing to the user a set of labeled instances on determination of a user's intent, the set of labeled instances being directly related to user's intent, where the set of labeled instances are obtained in real-time from a set of information repositories.

Real-time information mining

Techniques are disclosed for generating and managing presentities in accordance with a virtual presence server. By way of example, a method for requesting information from at least one server comprises the following steps. A client request, which expresses a request that can not be satisfied by a single existing presentity, is obtained at an intermediate server, wherein the intermediate server operates as a virtual presence server. The virtual presence server (i.e., intermediate server) creates a set of software objects for a virtual presentity, the set of objects embodying logic to combine presence information from one or more of existing presentities and external information sources, in accordance with at least one existing presence server. The virtual presence server creates an association between the request of the client and the created virtual presentity that allows the presence information to be propagated back to the client.

Virtual presence server

Techniques for coordinating an on-demand communication-based mashup service are provided. The techniques include resolving a dynamic context of a receiver, configuring a communication service with at least one parameter of the dynamic context of the receiver, and coordinating the communication service dynamically at run-time based on the at least one parameter of the dynamic context of the receiver, wherein the communication service is composed in a mashup environment. Techniques are also provided for providing a customizable service to a user.

Method for enabling on-demand communication services

Techniques for supporting a presence virtualization query are provided. The techniques include receiving a virtual query from a client, the virtual query specified in terms of a membership set of members, wherein the membership set comprises a list of presentity uniform resource identifiers (URIs) and a separate transformation function, defined over a set of presence documents of the members in the membership set, redirecting the query to a destination virtual presentity URI whose presence state comprises an aggregation of the presence documents of the list of URIs in the membership set and a corresponding query element (QE) object that manages subscriptions for the URI, adding the client as a watcher for the destination virtual presentity URI, and applying transformation logic specified by the watcher client and notifying a corresponding client of a resulting output.
