Abstract
A software framework provides building blocks for developing event handlers (typically XML-based or data object based) and a mechanism for dynamically deploying and managing them within an online community having roles and places defined for users and groups. The complex data to be sent/received among users and applications can be described in XML or actual Java™ objects. The software framework is composed of the following principal components: Awarelet base, Awarelet Container, Awarelet Application Adapter, Awarelet Event, Awarelet Configuration, and Awarelet Repository. Awarelet Technology is designed to enhanced the prior art of Instant Messaging in order to facilitate more robust interactions between members of the online community. This invention considers not only users as members, but in addition, business applications and processes as well. The present invention aims to solve the problems stemming from lack of support for business related collaborations in the prior art, as well as enhance the ability to send and receive complex informational events.
