In the past months I’ve seen amazing demos of futur UI devices that are studied and prototyped in labs. The last one was this one, very impressive because it mimics nearly exactly the UI found in the movie Minority Report which became a must-have for a lot of geeks *and* non-geeks. http://www.ted.com/talks/john_underkoffler_drive_3d_data_with_a_gesture.html What is the [...]
Masters of Disaster Here is a very enlightening paper from Wharton’s Risk Management and Decision Processes Center: http://www.whartonmagazine.com/issues/815.php IT projects fall in the same behavior: Quote: “a psychological bias toward short-term maximization instead of long-term planning—a psychological bias all humans share”. IT Project: short ROIs, code before design and architecture, intuition instead of analytical thinking, [...]
Maemo 5 Maemo is the framework used in Nokia Internet tablets since the N770, and today in the N900 phone which combines a cellular phone and an Internet tablet. Though I’m very found of this little thing that starts to look like the Star Trek communicator I wanted when I was a kid (except for [...]
An amazing, and funny, TED talk from Feb 2010 “Innovation is hard because it means doing something that people don’t find very easy for the most part. It means challenging what we take for granted, things that we think are obvious. The great problem for reform or transformation is the tirany of common sense. [...] [...]
I remind you all that Praxeme is an Open Initiative and ***needs you***. You can contribute in a number of ways: Take a responsibility in one of the domains Praxeme is lacking material, and either produce material or manage a work-group to produce it. This activity requires to have a rather good understanding of the [...]
See notes at the end of the post Scoping The scoping aspect (also known as politics aspect) is the pre-modeling concern before real modeling efforts of the upstream aspects (semantic, pragmatic and geographic). This is where we gather all raw material from very diverse sources including (but not limited to) enterprise and business strategies, business [...]
Related questions: Why separate Elementary and Set machines/operations? Would it be interesting to add a CRUD Business Logical Machine next to the Elementary and Set ones? It is clear that we are considering things in the Logical Aspect and that no justifications will come from Technical Aspect. First shot CRUD operations are not high level [...]
This is a follow-up to a conversation that started during the meeting of the “Collège des contributeurs” last week. Although I do not have the time to post a proper discussion, I’ll start with a few headlines to “get the ball rolling” : start a discussion. Hence I’ll use an “outine style” and leave the [...]
Related questions: Can we use upstream models directly in implementations? What is the interest of the Logical Aspect if I want to build an SOA? We put important efforts in upstream aspects, can we make some savings in the logical one? The logical aspect is sometimes considered useless and we hear some people willing to [...]
Related questions: How to find them? How to assert that they are the right ones? How to respect the decoupling principle? By giving clear procedures to deduce services from business inputs, Praxeme solves the problem of finding the right services in the only available way: changing intuition only procedures to analytic thinking. By structuring precisely [...]
