Assessing, using a computer, a state of a participant and sharing personalized data for the participant in an electronic group meeting or collaboration using a communications network. Personalized data is received at a computer for a user participating in electronic group communications including group collaboration. The personalized data received at the computer includes biometric data and personality profile results. The biometric data includes biometric changes in real-time. A biometric change in the user is detected from a baseline for the user. In response to the biometric change, the biometric data is analyzed and the personality profile results to determine a suggested action regarding the user. The suggested action is communicated to the user or another participant user of the group meeting based on the analysis.

A portion of a software product is analyzed to determine a language and a subject-matter domain of the portion. A string is extracted from the portion, where the string has been translated into the language from an original string in an original language in a version of the software product. A corpus including a set of stored strings in the first language is selected. A subset of stored strings is selected from a content that is related to the subject-matter domain of the software product. When the string matches a stored string in the corpus, the string is selected into a shortlist and when a second string extracted from the portion fails to match any stored string in the corpus, the second string is excluded from the shortlist. The shortlist is output, causing a review of an accuracy of a machine translation process to be performed.

Automatic identification of machine translation review candidates

A bidirectional text display method embodied in a functional programming language which first assigns bidirectional attributes to a logical character stream. Next, through explicit processing, level numbers are assigned, honoring any directional overrides present in the logical character stream. Subsequent weak and neutral type processing potentially causes attribute types to change based upon surrounding attribute types. Then, implicit processing assigns final level numbers to the stream which control reordering. Finally, reordering processing produces a sequence of characters in display order. By separating the facets of layout dealing with reordering from those that are concerned with rendering, such as line breaking, glyph selection, and shaping, the Haskell-based method is more discernible and comprehendable, thereby allowing it to be more useful as a model upon which others may base bidirectional implementations.

Bi-directional display

An approach is provided in which a computer system receives a selection of a first set of information included on a first page of data. The computer system generates a locale package that includes one or more display format parameters that correspond to the format of the selected information. In turn, the computer system subsequently displays a second set of information on a second page of data based upon the one or more display format parameters included in the generated locale package.

A method and system for automatically generating unit test cases for a computer program that can reproduce runtime problems. The method comprises: modifying the computer program according to one or more interested target program units in the program and possibly occurring run time problems; test executing the modified program; and automatically generating unit test cases according to the interested runtime problems occurring during the execution of the interested target program units. Wherein the modifying step adds captor code and problem detective code into the program, the captor code being configured to record the execution paths and execution contexts of the interested target program units in the program; and the problem detective code being configured to detect the interested unexpected exceptions possibly raised and the interested violations of predefined behavior rules possibly produced by the execution of the program units. The present invention further provides methods and systems for debugging and for regression testing using the above method, and a computer program testing method and system.

An apparatus and method for providing Unicode support in legacy operating systems are provided. With the apparatus and method, a focus hook module, keyboard hook module, and keystroke conversion module are registered with the legacy operating system. The focus hook module determines the currently active application and whether the currently active application is Unicode capable. The keyboard hook module receives keyboard events from an input interface and sends those keyboard events to the keystroke conversion module. The keystroke conversion module converts the keyboard events into Unicode characters which are sent back to the keyboard hook module. The keyboard hook module then stores the Unicode characters in a temporary storage memory, e.g., the clipboard. The keyboard hook module then sends a command to the application to paste the contents of the temporary storage memory to the currently active application.

An approach to identifying and measuring adherence to software development requirements is presented. A software agent provides a user with product and technical questions. In turn, the user provides product and technical answers, or attributes, which are stored in a repository. A globalization plan generator uses the product and technical attributes to generate a software development plan. In addition, a globalization verification test generator uses the globalization plan to generate a test plan and measure the success of the software product based upon the test plan.

Identifying and measuring adherence to software development requirements

Globalization functionalities for JavaScript applications are provided by asynchronously invoking globalization Web services related to specific JavaScript applications that are developed using asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) technology. A result of the asynchronous invocation is processed to obtain the corresponding globalization functionality. A client-side component invokes the globalization Web services by creating a SOAP request including specific parameters in passing that request to a server-side component. The server side component creates a result that is passed back to the client side component.

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for testing software programs running on a data processing system. Text is translated from the source language to the target language to form translated text in response to a user input, containing the text in a source language. The text is entered through a computer interface in the data processing system. The translated text is inserted into a user interface of the software program to be tested to form inserted, translated text. The software program is written using the target language. A determination is made as to whether the software program functions correctly using the inserted, translated text.

Metadata describing common Java classes is extracted and utilized to optimize a Java program's performance based on the code requirements of the application. Data mining techniques extract metadata and other information about different sets of JVM byte code written by multiple vendors to determine the design choices and optimizations made by each vendor in implementing their JVM. Then, byte code in a Java application being programmed is analyzed in comparison to each vendor's JVM metadata and information. Based upon the application's requirements (for example footprint, performance, etc.), recommendations are generated that yield a newly compiled rt.jar that combines the best practices of each vendor together or recommends a particular vendor's standard JVM that is best suited for the application.

Optimizing application performance through data mining

The invention relates to access to a platform independent input method editor or IME from an underlying operating system. Keystrokes received at an operating system input may be formed into a character sequence, and an operating system-based IME service module may call the platform independent IME to convert the character sequence to a corresponding code point. The transferred code point may then be returned to an operating system output.
