Abstract
An entity-centric approach has been proposed to provide a consistent user experience in accessing a unified software applications suite effortlessly. Entities are connected with one another. The entities and the connectivity between them are reflected in all three functional layers of 3-tier client-server architecture. Every entity has a set of attributes and each attribute represents a data item or record of a particular type. The data items or records are represented in the form of card(s) as determined by contextualization and access control engines. The connection between two or more entities in the context of communication/interaction, collaboration and productivity, can be referred to as an activity. The activities of the entities can be represented in a timeline or swimlane mode. The timeline mode represents the recent activities between two entities as a vertical timeline chart, in reverse chronological order. The swimlane mode represents activities of multiple entities, in parallel. A timeline chart is dedicated to each entity in its corresponding lane. With a date-lock option in swimlane mode, the timeline chart in each lane is locked for a particular date or time period.
