A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for presenting a set of intention objects arranged by coarse time windows is disclosed. In example embodiments, the method may include accessing a set of intention objects belonging to a user. Each of the intention objects may define the intention of the user to undertake an intention and each object may comprise a data structure including a plurality of activity attributes of the intended activity. The method may further include assigning particular intention objects of the set of intention objects to a coarse time window based on the attributes of the respective intention objects. The method may further include presenting at least a portion of the set of intention objects to a user in a day view that is arranged based on the assigned coarse time windows.

Event scheduling presentation in a graphical user interface environment

A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for providing scheduling suggestions to a user. A collection of intention objects is accessed. Each of the intention objects is a data structure comprising a plurality of activity attributes of an intention of a user to undertake an activity. Calendar data from a calendar of the user is accessed and an available time slot on the calendar is determined. In response to determining the available time slot, a suggested intention object is selected from the collection of intention objects based on a plurality of activity attributes of the suggested intention object. A scheduling suggestion is then presented to the user. The scheduling suggestion may include a suggestion to schedule an activity associated with the suggested intention object in the available time slot.

Method and system for providing scheduling suggestions

Methods are provided for creating a composite program module within a computing ecosystem. The ecosystem comprises physical and/or virtual computing resources of a company, department or other organization. When a user discovers a grouping of modules that is useful to him, the ecosystem or his workspace allows him to create a composite module that comprises the group of modules. He can then access their combined functionality by activating just the composite module, in which case all the modules are automatically opened, without having to activate each one individually. Further, the ecosystem may suggest complementary program modules to a user based on his pattern of activity with one or more other modules. A composite program module may be created to include a suggested complementary module, or just modules discovered independently by the user.
