Provided are embodiments for a method for managing a multi-group virtual conference. Embodiments can include providing user access to at least one cluster of a plurality of clusters in a virtual conference and determining at least one feature word representing a topic for each of the plurality of clusters. Embodiments can also include displaying in each of the plurality of clusters the at least one feature word and receiving a user input to modify user participation in the at least one cluster. Also provided are embodiments for a system and computer program product for managing the multigroup virtual conference.

Mechanism for the management of topic-based multi-group virtual conferences

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented method of managing message relationships in a messaging system. The computer-implemented method includes receiving, using a processor system, a modification to a first message. The processor system is used to perform a significance-level evaluation of the modification to the first message. Based at least in part on a first result of the significance-level evaluation, the first message is deleted and the modification to the first message is maintained. Based at least in part on a second result of the significance-level evaluation, the first message is maintained; the modification to the first message is stored in a database; and the first message is associated with the modification to the first message in the database.

Managing relationships among original, modified, and related messages using significance-level analysis and change-relevancy annotations

A computer-implemented method for generating information associated with unknown verbal communications is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes receiving a user indication of an unknown verbal communication. The computer-implemented method further includes displaying a potential unknown word list to the user, wherein the potential unknown word list includes words corresponding to verbal communications that occurred prior to receiving the user indication of the unknown verbal communication. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying that a word is selected from the potential unknown word list. The computer-implemented method further includes generating, in response to identifying that the word is selected from the potential unknown word list, additional information associated with the selected word.

Automatic search query for unknown verbal communications

A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for securely sharing confidential information in a document. A first computer sets one or more confidential attributes of the confidential information in the document and creates metadata of the confidential information. The first computer creates a first file including the confidential information and the metadata. The first computer creates a second file including non-confidential information in the document and the metadata; the metadata in the second file is as a reference to the confidential information. The confidential information in the first file is displayed by a second computer at a confidential information visibility level in accordance with an authorization level of an authorized user of the second computer. The second file is displayed at a visibility level without showing the confidential information and is accessible by all users.

A first computer sets one or more confidential attributes of the confidential information in the document and creates metadata of the confidential information. The first computer creates a first file including the confidential information and the metadata. The first computer creates a second file including non-confidential information in the document and the metadata; the metadata in the second file is as a reference to the confidential information. The confidential information in the first file is displayed by a second computer at a confidential information visibility level in accordance with an authorization level of an authorized user of the second computer. The second file is displayed at a visibility level without showing the confidential information and is accessible by all users.

A method for adjusting a filtering mechanism within a trace logging system. The method may include receiving a plurality of messages from a software program, whereby each of the plurality of messages includes a message logging level. The method may also include storing the plurality of received messages in a buffer. The method may further include determining an error has occurred within the software program. The method may also include identifying each of the plurality of stored messages that aid in debugging the determined error. The method may further include updating an alert status configuration based on the message logging level associated with each of the plurality of identified messages.
