I have wondered like everyone else that I look back once in a while from my myopic view that where the rest of the world has been heading. This page is a look at what is new in technology. This first look is in 2014 and probably I will be updating this page often. At the moment this is titled "Future of Technology 1", and I expect to have to "Future of Technology 2" and on.

This has been a surprisingly pleasant thing to do! Hope this is of help to other caterers as well!

82) What is Spark? (30-Jul-12)

Spark is an open source cluster computing system that aims to make data analytics fast ? both fast to run and fast to write.

To run programs faster, Spark provides primitives for in-memory cluster computing: your job can load data into memory and query it repeatedly much quicker than with disk-based systems like Hadoop MapReduce.

To make programming faster, Spark integrates into the Scala language, letting you manipulate distributed datasets like local collections. You can also use Spark interactively to query big data from the Scala interpreter.

83) What is Mesos? (30-Jul-12)

Apache Mesos is a cluster manager that provides efficient resource isolation and sharing across distributed applications, or frameworks. It can run Hadoop, MPI, Hypertable, Spark (a new framework for low-latency interactive and iterative jobs), and other applications. Mesos is open source in the Apache Incubator.

139) Six-Step Problem Solving Method (7-Apr-04)

There are six principle steps to the scientific method.  They are listed below.
1.	Define the problem
2.	Identify critical characteristics and metrics.
3.	Analysis
4.	Generate a solution and potentially more than one.
5.	Pick the best solution
6.	Sensitivity Analysis - check how good my solution is.

These six steps are important to understand and document during any new or experimental concept.

"One of the most exciting kinds of e-mail that the Swing/JFC team receive is a product announcement for a new JavaTM application that features a Swing GUI. A close runner-up is the URL for a new game or a compelling never-before-seen applet.

Over the years we've collected many links to this information. In fact, if you walked down the hallways here you would see the walls plastered with hundreds of screenshots from applications developed outside of Sun. Therefore, we have decided to launch a Swing Connection feature to share this bounty. Don't expect a comprehensive survey; these are applications that we bumped into or that found us."

151) Jedit, wordml, xaml, jxpath, InfoPath, XForms are some of the things I want to look at in 2004 (7-Jan-04)

Jedit, wordml, xaml, jxpath, InfoPath, XForms are some of the names that I have jotted down in 2003 to take a look at in the future. Hopefully I will get to some of these in 2004. The following knowledge folder named "Research" explores these ideas a bit further and provide additional references.

Research Knowledge Folder

On a personal front I want to consider the following:

1. Provide a discoverable and typed interface to Aspire's declarative middle tier. This idea is explored somewhat in the O'Reilly paper titled "Qualities of a good middle tier architecture".
2. I have been meaning to write a command interpreter in Java for command line utilities where the shell can interpret the input java objects and prompt the user for the input and automatically transfer the input to java objects and call the command eventually.
3. I have been planning on writing a universal editor for any XML properties file. The underlying idea is very similar to number 2.
4. Look into drag and drop file system over the web using either Applets or Flash components for AKC. This will allow for folders in folders and a natural interface for the authors AKC to manage their content.
5. Work more on CSS to polish the AKC and some of the master pages it hosts
6. Have friends sign up on AKC and potentially look into porting the AKC to MySQL from MicrosoftAccess that it is sitting on

152) WordML (3-Jan-04)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/11/XMLFiles/default.aspx

A possible solution to documentation quandry. Word is extreemly good as an outline editor. But has been very bad at spitting out the content as XML. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

153) XAML: Longhorn markup language (3-Jan-04)

http://longhorn.msdn.microsoft.com/lhsdk/core/overviews/about%20xaml.aspx

Aspire is optimized for developing 3 tier GUIs that include the current web paradigm. The declarative GUI elements of XAML should allow me to extend Aspire to the .net world quite effectively.

154) JXPath: xpath for Java objects (3-Jan-04)

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jxpath/

Goes to show that XML and Java are just two representations of hierarchical data structures of which XPAth is the query language. Hoping to integrate into Aspire at some point.
