Communication plans are created, modified, and executed by a campaign server. The campaign server creates a retail environment communication plan that specifies communications to be made to unidentified shoppers in a retail environment that includes at least one sensor. The campaign server identifies a shopper in the retail environment by the at least one sensor, and creates a shopper communication plan, based on the retail environment communication plan, that specifies communications to be made to the identified shopper in the retail environment. The campaign server executes the retail environment communication plan and the shopper communication plan. In response to processing an event sensed by the at least one sensor, the campaign server modifies one or both of the retail environment communication plan and the shopper communication plan.

An embodiment of the invention provides relative bookmarks that are sharable between developers engaged in product development utilizing integrated design environment applications. The relative bookmarks are sharable in that they can be exported, imported, activated and deactivated. The relative bookmarks are relative in that they do not rely on the original code line and contain at least function and/or data flow information, facilitating quick identification of relevant lines of code that have been previously bookmarked. The relative bookmarks can also be utilized to insert breakpoints.

Sharable development environment bookmarks for functional/data flow

A method and apparatus are disclosed for integrating an legacy application hosted on an application server onto a network, such as the Internet. This allows one or more remote computers to access the legacy application over the network. The disclosed method and apparatus do not require changes to be made to the legacy application, due to the fact that the legacy application is accessed using messages in the form produced by the native operating system.
