Abstract:
A computer-implemented method that includes determining whether a predetermined collaboration client application is available locally at a local client, and using a proxy to integrate the collaboration client application into a web application of a web browser at the local client when the collaboration client application is unavailable locally at the local client, providing real-time presence awareness information of a plurality of users to a first user via the web application at the web browser, receiving, from the first user via the web application, a selection of at least one user of the plurality of users, with whom the first user desires to perform one or more real-time collaboration services, and determining at least one real-time collaboration service that is available via the web browser for use between the first user and the selected user, based at least in part on the real-time presence awareness information of the selected user.
