A method, system and apparatus for configuring a page for drag and drop arrangement of content artifacts can include populating a content artifact registry with a plurality of content artifacts, each of the content artifacts defining a draggable and droppable form of a particular type of page content. The method further can include defining a drop zone within the page to receive a dragged and dropped one of the content artifacts, the drop zone defining a consumable type of page content and an action to undertake when consuming a dropped one of the content artifacts having a particular type of page content consistent with the consumable type of page content.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to portlet content refreshing and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and apparatus for independently refreshing portlet content in a portal view. In an embodiment of the invention, a system for refreshing portlet content in a portal view can include a portal server configured to render a portal page, a portlet aggregator configured to provide portlet markup for different portlets in different refresh controllers having independently refreshable portions, and a refresh servlet coupled to the portlet aggregator that includes programming to configure the portal page with the different refresh controllers.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to processing forms submissions in a portal environment and provide a method, system and computer program product for independently refreshing a forms submission in a portal view. In one embodiment, a system for independently submitting forms in a portal view can include a portal server configured to render a portal view and a portlet aggregator coupled to the portal server. The portal aggregator can be configured to provide portlet markup for different portlets in the portal view where at least one of the different portlets includes a visible form includes one or more form elements.

A method for overriding a pairing priority for a slave device connected to a master device, or for connecting a new slave device to the master device and setting a new pairing priority relative to an existing paired slave device over a short-range wireless connection such as Bluetooth&#xae;. The method includes executing an application and setting a connection priority override on either the slave device or the master device. When a connection between the slave device and master device is requested and negotiated, a priority override is communicated to the master device or queried on the master device, and if the priority override is higher than an existing priority, a connection for that device is completed with the master device, and additional slave devices in a list of last paired devices is adjusted by the master device.

Smart proximity priority pairing

An improved solution for managing processes. In particular, resources are allocated to processes based on a determination of the available resources and an anticipated benefit for each process. The anticipated benefit can be derived from a current status of the process (e.g., lagging or accelerated) and/or benefit knowledge learned from past executions of the process using diverse resource sets. One or more additional attributes, such as resource dependency between processes, can also be considered before allocating resources.

A computer program product for communicating across channels with emotion preservation includes a computer usable storage medium having computer useable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code including: computer usable program code to receive a first language communication comprising text marked up with emotion metadata; computer usable program code to translate the emotion metadata into second language emotion metadata; computer usable program code to translate the text to second language text; computer usable program code to analyze the second language emotion metadata for second language emotion information; and computer usable program code to combine the second language emotion information in first language communication with the second language text.

Communicating across channels with emotion preservation includes: receiving, by a processor in a communication device, a voice communication; analyzing, by the processor in the communication device, the voice communication for first emotion content; analyzing, by the processor in the communication device, textual content of the voice communication for second emotion content; and marking up, by the processor in the communication device, the textual content with emotion metadata for one of the first emotion content and the second emotion content.

A portlet state maintenance system can include a portal page setup component configured to generate a logical form in a single portal page from a multiplicity of forms defined within portlet markup aggregated into the single portal page. A portal state save component further can be configured to save state values for selected portlets defined within the logical form. Finally, a portal state restore component can be configured to restore the saved state values in refreshed portlet markup for the selected portlets. Notably, a refresh timing component further can be configured to embed submit auto-initiation logic in the single portal page responsive to identifying a dynamic refresh requirement associated with the portlet markup in the single portal page. Finally, a portlet markup cache can be coupled to the portal state restore component.

Maintaining screen and form state in portlets

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to portal view rendering and provide a method, system and computer program product for portlet view processing with render-when-ready portlets. In one embodiment, a portal server system can be provided which can include a portal server configured to render a portal page, and a portlet aggregator configured to provide portlet markup for different portlets in different temporary documents linked to the portal page. The different temporary documents can be linked to the portal page through corresponding hidden frames disposed in the portal page. Moreover, each of the different temporary documents can include a script programmed to write contained portlet markup to an element in the portal page responsive to a triggering event. Finally, the portal page can include one or more span elements, each of the span elements being referenced by the script in a corresponding one of the different temporary documents.

Displaying a portal with render-when-ready portlets

A system and method for delivering asynchronous callbacks from a network server to clients that are unreachable by the network server. The system provides a callback server that receives callback registration requests from clients. The callback server generates a web service based on the description of the service that is being invoked by the client and an associated URL address based on its own address. The network server uses the dynamically generated service accessible at this URL address to deliver the asynchronous callbacks. The callbacks are either delivered to the clients by the callback server, if they are reachable inside the network domain, or made available on the callback server for the clients to poll. In addition, the callback server provides functionality that may be too expensive for the clients to provide locally.
