Achieving activity centric computing using portable containers
Abstract:
A method, system and computer program product for achieving activity centric computing. An activity (e.g., opening an application, opening an electronic communication, initiating a printing action, initiating a browsing session) performed by a user on a computing device is detected. In response to detecting the activity, the runtime environment is captured and the session workflow associated with the detected activity is recorded. The session workflow refers to the events performed by the user on the computing device in connection with performing an activity (e.g., application usage, web browsing) on the computing device. The captured runtime environment and the recorded session workflow associated with the detected activity are stored in a portable container. After receiving an indication to share the activity, an image of the container is created and stored in a repository to be shared among users to replay the session workflow associated with the activity.
