US Patent:

7853489, Dec 14, 2010

Filed:

Nov 22, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/285320

Inventors:

Charles E. Bess - McKinney TX, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

705 27, 705 26

Abstract:

A method, system, and computer program product for matching developers or entities with certain skills with work projects is provided. In one embodiment, a project manager utilizes a bid management agent which receives project specifications from the project manager specifying such things as, for example, project duration, work product desired, skill sets desired by the developers, experience level desired of the developers, and compensation. The bid management agent broadcasts a request for quotes for the project to utilization management agents. Each utilization management agent is employed by a different developer or entity and receives and tracks the interests and skills and other attributes of the developer and sends a quote to a bid management agent when it receives a request for a quote for a project which matches the interests, skills, availability, and other attributes of the developer for which the utilization management agent is employed. The bid management agent sends contracts to utilization management agents from which it receives quotes it deems acceptable based on project manager specified criteria.

Charles E. Bess - McKinney TX, US
Chandra H. Kamalakantha - Plano TX, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 17/28

US Classification:

704270, 704 2, 704231, 7042701, 704275

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for automatically creating a speech-based user interface involve identifying a software service definition that includes service inputs, service outputs, and context data and accessing a standard user interface incorporating the service input and output. The standard user interface defines a set of valid inputs for the service input and a set of available outputs, at least one of which based on the context data. Audio data is associated with at least some of the inputs in the set of valid inputs to define a set of valid speech inputs. A speech-based user interface is automatically generated from the standard user interface and the set of valid speech inputs.

US Patent:

20020165748, Nov 7, 2002

Filed:

May 2, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/847756

Inventors:

Charles Bess - McKinney TX, US

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/008000

Abstract:

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided and includes separating a plurality of persons into first and second groups and communicating an issue to each of the groups. The issue relates to a problem to be addressed by the groups. Each of the groups then independently evaluate the issue. The groups then caucus to produce a consensus on an evaluation of the issue. The groups then separate and each group independently generates a proposed strategy. The groups then caucus thereafter, resulting in a consensus on the proposed strategy. The selected proposed strategy is then initiated.

US Patent:

Filed:

Sep 13, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/243862

Inventors:

Charles Bess - McKinney TX, US

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/200000

Abstract:

A technique for addressing whether a computing environment is likely to meet an uptime criteria involves evaluating plural predetermined criteria, identifying an action based on the evaluation, and then implementing the action. A variation involves evaluating the predetermined criteria, and then generating a report with an assessment about the capability of the environment to meet the uptime criteria. Still another variation involves evaluating the predetermined criteria, determining a respective numerical value for each criteria, applying weights to the numerical values, and adding up at least some of the weighted values in order to obtain an assessment value.

G06F 9/455

US Classification:

717174, 718 1

Abstract:

A data processing system having a processor and accessible memory, the data processing system executing a first operating system, the data processing system also having an application and virtualized application environment, the application and virtualized application environment capable of being packaged and moved to a second data processing system. There is also a machine-usable medium encoded with a container, the container storing a packaged data processing system application and associated virtualized application environment, the virtualized application environment capable of being executed on a plurality of different operating systems. There is also a method, including executing an application in a virtualized application environment on a first device and packaging the virtualized application environment and the application in a container. The method also includes unpacking the container on a second device and executing the application in the virtualized application environment on the second device.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 7

Abstract:

An apparatus, and an associated methodology for evaluating organization behavior from electronic communications between members of an organization. The comparison determines whether a first group dominates a second group, whether a first person of a first group dominates said first group or whether a first person of a first group dominates said organization. An alert message is generated and transmitted if it is determined that communications indicate that organizational effectiveness is or might be effected by inappropriate communications.
