Abstract

Systems and methods provide for autonomic collaborative workspace creation. Patterns of artifact usage for a plurality of workspaces over a plurality of collaborative interactions may be determined. Some of the multitude of collaborative interactions may be between a subset of the plurality of workspaces. A workspace may be initialized with artifacts for a scheduled collaboration based on the patterns of artifact usage.

Claims (12)

1. A method comprising:

determining patterns of shared artifact usage for a plurality of workspaces of a plurality of individuals over a multitude of collaborative interactions; and

initializing a unique workspace on a plurality of computer devices with artifacts for a scheduled collaboration employing the patterns of artifact usage,

wherein the unique workspace on each of the plurality of computer devices includes artifacts that are unique to one of the computer devices;

wherein the unique workspace is an individual workspace that is primed for each of the plurality of computer devices based on past behavior of each of the plurality of individuals; and

wherein at least one of the multitude of collaborative interactions is between a subset of the plurality of workspaces operating within a larger group of workspaces, and the subset of the plurality of workspaces communicates with the larger group of workspaces.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the multitude of collaborative interactions is between a subset of the plurality of workspaces.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the artifacts are selected from a group consisting of: a tool, an application, a document, a schedule, a web conference, a team room.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further including employing analytics in determining the patterns of artifact usage.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further including maintaining a repository.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further including loading the workspace with at least one from a group consisting of: a selected application, and a selected portal.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein at least one of the selected portals is selected from a group consisting of: a document library, an associated web conference, a community, a uniform resource locator, and a user interface.
