Friday, Feb 22, 2013 VIDEO: Computer science is undergoing a fundamental change. Over the last 40 years the field was concerned with making computers useful. Focus was on programming languages, compilers, operating systems, data structures and algorithms. These are still important topics but with the merging of computing and communication, the emergence of social networks, and the large amount of information in digital form, focus is shifting to applications such as the structure of networks and extracting information from large data sets. This talk will give a brief vision of the future and then an introduction to the science base that is forming to support these new directions in computer science.

Thursday, Jul 11, 2013 ARTICLE: One definition of privacy is the selective revelation of information about oneself. With billions of people using social media, it's increasingly difficult for users to control what they're disclosing and to whom. Current privacy protection measures block leakages via privacy settings that are syntactic in nature, but existing solutions don't attempt to cover all the entities who might end up receiving the data, ensure the need for or use of the data collected, determine the duration of data retention, or reveal if the data is merged with external information to reveal the user's full identity. The title of the article is from linguist Noam Chomsky, who used it to distinguish between syntax and semantics. Virtually all privacy solutions thus far handle issues relating only to the first hop of the personal data flow from a user. The gap can only be filled by examining the semantics behind the multihop flow of user data over time. This article surveys the state of the art and presents some potential directions in moving from a syntactic approach to a more holistic semantics-based approach.

Thursday, Apr 10, 2014 ARTICLE: The past few days have been choc-a-block with discussions of Heartbleed–what it is and how it works, and what the average user should do about it. (For the former, here is a particularly understandable explanation. The answer to the latter: wait until sites are fixed, and THEN change your password. If it’s a high-value site, changing your password before the patch has been installed and a new key/certificate has been generated is counterproductive, as it may make your new password more vulnerable rather than less. Ed Felten provides good advice both for the average user and for website operators on what they should do.
Monday, Apr 21, 2014 ARTICLE: The night sky holds a special fascination for children worldwide. They gaze at the moon and stars shining overhead, and wonder what they are and how they got there. This natural curiosity is dampened, however, for children who live in urban areas, where air and light pollution dim the celestial show. With only a pale version of the night sky visible to them, their natural fascination with the heavens can wane, their attention turning to the brighter displays of video games. And while we have nothing against video games, we at Microsoft Research are pleased to offer youngsters the chance to be captivated again by the stories written on the canvas of the sky. Thanks to Microsoft Research’s WorldWide Telescope (WWT), anyone can see the night sky in all its glory and be enraptured by endlessly fascinating tours of the heavens.
Friday, May 9, 2014 VIDEO: Tempe is an interactive system for exploring large data sets. It accelerates faster machine learning by facilitating quick, iterative feature engineering and data understanding. Tempe is a combination of three technologies: Trill: a high-speed, temporal, progressive-relational stream-processing engine 100 times faster than StreamInsight. WINQ: a layer that emulates LINQ but provides progressive queries—providing “best effort” partial answers. Stat: an interactive, C# integrated development environment that enables users to visualize progressive answers. The combination of these technologies enables users to try and discard queries quickly, enabling much faster exploration of large data sets.
Thursday, May 8, 2014 VIDEO: Urban air quality -- the concentration of PM2.5 -- is of great importance in protecting human health. While there are limited air-quality-monitor-stations in a city, air quality varies by location significantly and is influenced by multiple complex factors, such as traffic flow and land use. Consequently, people cannot know the air quality of a location without a monitoring station. This project infers real-time, fine-grained air-quality information throughout a city, based on air-quality data reported by existing monitor stations and a variety of data sources observed in the city, such as meteorology, traffic flow, human mobility, the structure of road networks, and points of interest. This fine-grained air-quality information could help people figure out when and where to go jogging—or when they should shut the window or put on a face mask in locations where air quality is already a daily issue. This could lead to long-term solutions in predicting forthcoming air quality and identifying the root cause of air pollution.

We know a lot about how a generic Brazil team would do against a generic Croatia team, similar to the way I know how a generic Republican candidate will do against a generic Democratic candidate. Yet it is a whole lot less certain than how the New York Yankees are going to do against the Seattle Mariners with 60 baseball games of data already in the books. “That being said, over time, we learn more and more ways to get the data we need to answer the idiosyncratic events in a purely data-driven way.”

Tuesday, Jul 15, 2014 ARTICLE: Once a nascent technology understood only by networking visionaries, software-defined networking (SDN) has moved beyond the hype and into real-world network deployments. In 2012 and most of 2013, networking suppliers were primarily focused on communicating their SDN strategies and showcasing initial solutions. Over the last six to 12 months, however, TBR has witnessed not only a maturation of these solutions, but also the implementation of customer deployments as proof that SDN may transform the networking industry similar to how virtualization transformed the server industry over the last decade. Unlike in 2013, when SDN deployments were found only in the data centers of large cloud providers such as Google and Amazon, customers in other verticals such as retail and manufacturing are now using the technology in their production networks.
Friday, Jul 18, 2014 ARTICLE: As the smartphone and tablet markets saturate and mature, device vendors and consumers are looking toward new smart connected devices that will expand the frontiers of usefulness and entertainment value, while driving growth for device vendors, software developers, software vendors and other adjacent market sectors. While “wearables,” portable devices that often interface with users’ smartphones, have attracted the greatest attention, TBR believes the larger potential market is in fixed devices in the home. The leader in this category is the Nest thermostat, offered by the Nest Labs, now a subsidiary of Google. We think the consumer IoT will complement and often lead the commercial IoT, and together, they will fuel a wave of innovation and expansion in all segments of IT.
Monday, Jul 21, 2014 ARTICLE: Enterprise applications customers are increasingly looking for simple-to-deploy solutions that solve defined business problems. Further, they demand the solutions be up and running in shorter and shorter periods of time. Gone are the days when a vendor could expect a long, drawn-out sales process followed by a lengthy systems integration process. Inspired by the instant gratification of their daily lives as consumers, enterprise customers increasingly want the “add to cart” ease to be extended into enterprise software purchases.
Thursday, Jul 24, 2014 ARTICLE: Transformation within the networking industry is occurring rapidly, as networks continue to evolve to fulfill their role as the delivery mechanism for a rapidly growing number of enterprise applications, particularly those being delivered via the cloud and mobile devices. As expected, most of the major network hardware suppliers, including Avaya, Cisco, Dell, HP and Huawei, had a strong presence at Interop Las Vegas 2014, and software vendors such as F5, VMware and Citrix have emerged as major players within the networking ecosystem. One notable exception was Juniper, whose presence was limited to leading a handful of workshops, as the company did not have a booth in the vendor exhibition hall — further evidence Juniper is de-emphasizing its enterprise business as it focuses on cutting costs in the short term and charting a course for long-term growth.
Friday, Jul 25, 2014 ARTICLE: Every day cybercriminals launch sophisticated malware attacks against organizations designed to steal valuable data or disable critical services to inflict damage on the organization. The number of malware attacks is increasing, but recent research from Technology Business Research Inc. (TBR) indicates the rate of increase varies significantly depending on the organization; malware attack rates are increasing more rapidly for some organizations and leveling off for others. Security vendors and service providers must adjust their strategies to adapt to changing attack rates.
Monday, Jul 28, 2014 ARTICLE: TBR Perspective Atos’ 2016 Ambition plan sets a clear strategy for the firm’s growth: Leverage strengths in managed services (MS) and consulting & systems integration (C&SI;), commit to disruptive and innovative offerings (with cloud computing as a key growth area), expand reach in North America and emerging geographies, and enhance its position in the payment market through Worldline. With its strategy in place, the firm is in execution mode to overcome its growth challenges, as 2013 revenue declined 0.9% year-to-year at constant scope and exchange rates. Atos is positioning as an end-to-end consult-design-build-run service provider, consolidating its previously separate consulting and technology services with its SI service line and tightening the relationship with the MS service line. Atos’ strategy to align its C&SI; business by its four core vertical markets and begin to develop industry-specialized MS offerings will help the firm increase the value and attractiveness of its portfolio. The firm’s investments to augment its traditional portfolio with offerings around technology trends such as cloud, big data and analytics, mobility, smart utilities, and digital security will help support long-term revenue growth and accelerate global expansion. While 2014 will be a year of recovery for the firm, with a difficult 1H14 but anticipated growth improvement in 2H14, the 2016 Ambition plan will enable the firm to reach its three-year target to increase organic revenue by 2% to 3% CAGR from 2014 to 2016.
Tuesday, Jul 29, 2014 ARTICLE: Salesforce.com relies on ISV Platform partners to develop and sell industry-specific applications Salesforce1 is the driving force behind the company’s industry applications play. Salesforce.com is taking a similar approach as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft by leaving partners white spaces to build, sell and service industry-specific applications. While Salesforce and its platform competitors have the technical expertise and agility to build industry-specific applications in-house, building and supporting these applications increases R&D; and sales and marketing costs — costs that Salesforce.com, in TBR’s opinion, is trying to reduce. Instead, leveraging partners to drive the majority of industry growth and ensure simple integration enables Salesforce.com to enter the industry applications market while improving profitability and leaving the risk to partners.
Wednesday, Jul 30, 2014 ARTICLE: Just a few years ago, security breaches were typically enabled by vulnerabilities in the breached organization’s IT infrastructure. Today, however, many security breaches are the consequence of vulnerabilities in the IT infrastructures of the affected organization’s business partners, including the wholesalers, retailers, payment processors and other partners in the organization’s cyber supply chain. This has led to heightened expectations for strong security controls at cyber supply chain partner organizations, a primary topic of discussion at the SecureWorld Boston 2014 conference. Increased focus on cyber supply chain security has altered the way organizations evaluate security solutions and justify security expenditures. It has impacted the way security vendors and service providers engage with customers, placed more demands on cloud service providers and created opportunities for auditors and cyber insurance companies.

Tuesday, Oct 21, 2014 ARTICLE: Analytics are now an integral part of any supply chain information management system. Modern computing power and advances in analytical software have made powerful analytics not only possible, but practical for most businesses sitting on top of a cornucopia of supply chain data. Analytics run the gambit from historical data dumps to models that suggest the best course of action based on a set of probable outcomes.
Monday, Oct 27, 2014 BLOG POST: Collaboration of information and timing and are two extremely critical aspects of supply chain business intelligence and information management. Not getting data to the appropriate decision makers renders the information nominally useless. Not giving it to the right people, or right group of people, via the right mechanism also means that data loses value.

Thursday, Nov 6, 2014 ARTICLE: In 2009 Northrop Grumman sold TASC to private equity backers General Atlantic LLC and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. for $1.65 billion. The agreed-on price for TASC to Engility, nearly $550 million less than what TASC’s owners paid five years ago, likely reflects how challenging the federal IT environment has been since 2009. Additionally, TASC employs about 4,000 employees versus 5,000 at the time of the spin-off from Northrop. TASC’s projected revenue contribution to Engility in 2014 of $1.1 billion is down 31% from $1.6 billion in 2009 and implies a nearly flat 1x multiplier for the acquisition price.

Friday, Nov 28, 2014 ARTICLE: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a mediocre phrase. It’s not creative or clever, and it doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. It is only because the phenomenon’s potential is so great that it can get away with such a lackluster name. Every day, more machines, sensors, and devices are talking to data systems, and eventually, to analytics users. This data is complex, vast, and fast-moving. The IoT represents a new approach to thinking about devices and data generation, and so a new analytical approach is required as well.

Wednesday, Jan 28, 2015 BLOG POST: Sustainable pace is a crap concept: We usually view it as the pace at which we should work, more or less. And while the “more” should happen infrequently and only in small amounts the “less” rarely enters our consciousness. It does make sense for physical activity. I run a marathon at sustainable pace because to work less is to diminish the sense of accomplishment. That doesn't mean that I'll feel as whole and happy at the end as if I’d been having a nice walk on the beach sipping Pina Coladas. And, yes, the Puritan work ethic aside, I deserve that once in a while, too.

Thursday, Jan 15, 2015 ARTICLE: Contemporary information technology isn't adequate to secure the valuable information these systems are entrusted to manage, as recent security breaches at US corporations and government agencies demonstrate. There are two reasons for this. First, public and private networks, based on Ethernet and the TCP/IP protocol, weren?t designed to protect information, but to make it easy to share information. Second, the architecture of the modern IT infrastructure was established long before cybercrime became the global nemesis that it is today, and therefore the issues of security and trust weren?t well understood or taken into account.

The stakes are high because these market dynamics will shift the balance of power, money, and landscape makeup in coming years.

I’ve been there, too, I often rationalize procrastination by claiming that I work well under pressure. I actually think that’s true sometimes. Putting off chores is one thing; putting off decisions is another. Hey, they’re just decisions so delay doesn’t hurt anything, right? I can wait until I’m forced to make the decision and make it then. Much like the “working under pressure” excuse, I can justify such an approach with a “no harm, no foul” attitude.

Tuesday, Sep 1, 2015 ARTICLE: Waterfall seemed like it was well-attuned to developing simple or perhaps complicated systems. Such systems can be master-planned from the outset, with work done by specialized teams. There is feedback but success does not depend on efficient feedback, because it is so rarely needed.

Friday, Jun 3, 2016 BLOG POST: The first time I ever attended a user group meeting was way back at the dawn of my career, when I was managing a pioneering print-on-demand/desktop publishing system for a specialty publisher. I went to the meeting to find out if the vendor was ever going to fix the latest version of its software, which was basically dead-on-arrival. To my surprise, the CEO took to the stage, apologized profusely, begged forgiveness, promised to fix the problem or else, and otherwise completely humbled himself in front of his irate customers.

Thursday, Jun 30, 2016 BLOG POST: An MIT study predicted last year that shared, self-driving cars may take so many vehicles off the road – perhaps 80% of them – that a new class of ‘exurbs’ in the U.S. may spring up within a decade. “With fewer cars, much of this space could be freed for other uses. Such reduction in car numbers would also dramatically lower the cost (and related energy consumption) of building and maintaining roads,” said MIT’s Matthew Claudel and Carlo Ratti. One engineering study, they noted, found that automation could quadruple capacity on any given highway – and fewer cars translate to less noise and a small environmental impact. These self-driving vehicles will eventually blur the lines between public/private transportation modes.

Friday, Aug 5, 2016 BLOG POST: Heterogeneous systems typically consist of a CPU, GPU and other accelerator devices, all of which are integrated in a single platform with a shared high-bandwidth memory system. The special accelerators are used to obtain both power and performance benefits. While the shared memory system eliminates data copies between the CPU and accelerator-owned memory, the different memory access models for most of the accelerators (e.g. for cache coherency) may still result in “expensive” software synchronization overhead when passing data between the different system components.
Monday, Aug 8, 2016 BLOG POST: Compared to the coverage data breaches receive, reporting on IoT flaws has been relatively sparse, despite some major research appearing of late which exposes the potentially life-threatening nature of security problems in embedded computing systems. These flaws haven’t been exploited on a large scale yet because they require a great deal of time and effort to exploit, but there are already signs this is changing. Governments in particular have both the time and resources. A power outage attack on the Ukrainian grid just before Christmas involved hackers overwriting firmware at multiple substations, rendering them unable to receive commands. It has been widely blamed on Russian state actors, although definitive attribution remains difficult.

Thursday, Aug 25, 2016 BLOG POST: I never threw out my extensive baseball card collection. While I don’t have a T206 Honus Wagner American Tobacco Company card (sold for $2.8 million in August 2007) or a Topps 1952 Mickey Mantle rookie year card (sold by Dallas-based Heritage Auctions in December 2015 to an anonymous collector for $525,800), the collection has increased in value over the years as it sits in multiple shoe boxes silently stuffed away in a corner of a closet. Not surprisingly, in today’s digital age, sports card collecting has also gone digital over the past few years and those of us that still have paper card collections are becoming an endangered species. You no longer get a stick of Bazooka bubble gum to chew for hours on end, but the flip side is that a memorable sports moment can immediately be available online and downloaded.

Wednesday, Aug 31, 2016 BLOG POST: Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is currently the dominant technology used in television displays, and represents more than 90 percent of the market. LCDs enabled flat-panel televisions that were slimmer and lighter than cathode ray tubes (CRT) and resulted in the eventual phasing-out of CRTs. Although LCDs steadily gained popularity and market share since its introduction in the 1998 and eventually surpassed CRT sales in 2007, other competing technologies such as Organic LED (OLED) have emerged in the last decade that have capitalized on the limitations of LCDs. Quantum Dots have enabled LCD to defend its dominant market position by improving one of the key weaknesses of LCD – its poorer color gamut.

Friday, Nov 4, 2016 BLOG POST: IDTechEx has a newly researched report, "Internet of Things 2017-2027". Benchmarking what went before, it finds that the most prolific electronic device is the anti-theft tag known as Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS). This is because it is disposable and big retailers and libraries in some countries feel that it deters thieves. Over 10 billion are produced yearly, mostly sold at around one cent apiece. There are three standards impeding sales because tags have to be replaced; and produce, for instance, is often defaced in that process when goods are rerouted to a different retailer.

Tuesday, Apr 11, 2017 ARTICLE: Multi-core processors are increasingly popular because they yield higher performance, but they also present new challenges for hard real-time systems in that they make it much more difficult to estimate a task’s worst-case execution time (WCET).
Tuesday, Apr 11, 2017 ARTICLE: People love to joke about disk drives that were once the size of washing machines. Except it’s not really a joke—it’s true. With a fresh coat of white paint, the RP04 disk drive could easily infiltrate any laundry room and blend right in. With a 92MB capacity, you could almost store the photos of your dinner you posted to Instagram last night. Today, this technology once considered cutting-edge has become obsolete. Large, clunky, slow machines have been replaced with lightning fast, smart technology that does more than just sit in a corner and collect dust. Here are four computer-based, cutting edge technologies you can’t live without:
Tuesday, Apr 11, 2017 BLOG POST: High-performance processors typically employ techniques such as deep, multi-issue pipelines, branch prediction and out-of-order processing to maximize performance, but these do come at a cost; specifically, they impact power efficiency.
Wednesday, Apr 12, 2017 ARTICLE: Working remotely can seem like a dream setup, particularly if you fall on the introverted side of the personality spectrum. But the biggest challenge that comes with remote working is distractions. If you don’t have a plan for combatting distractions, your productivity will quickly wane.

Tuesday, Apr 25, 2017 BLOG POST: Artificial intelligence (AI), to use a hackneyed term, is already causing a paradigm shift for marketers. AI, in brief, is helping brands to rapidly collaborate with and learn from online followers. And while there probably exists many a Luddite that deems AI a pervasive jobs threat, the flip side is that it may be a golden opportunity to let the machines do mundane stuff like customer support, enabling humans to become more creative.

Tuesday, Apr 25, 2017 ARTICLE: nline file storage and sharing are becoming more important than ever, both in personal and professional applications. We’re creating more data on a daily basis—according to VoucherCloud, we produce about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day, which would fill 10 million Blu-ray discs—and we’re reliant on accessing and exchanging that data for our daily lives.
Tuesday, Apr 25, 2017 ARTICLE: Advances in LED technology continue to bring new opportunities in digital displays. Existing optical technologies are also benefiting from the LED boom, specifically Holographic Optical Elements or HOEs. Holographic Optical Elements are holographic images embedded onto a thin, clear photopolymer film that can be applied to glass or plastic surfaces. When a light source, such as LED, is projected onto the surface, the invisible recorded holographic images come to life. Although the technology has existed for decades, Luminit scientists and engineers are turning once futuristic concepts into tangible opportunities for manufacturers and government agencies.
Tuesday, May 9, 2017 ARTICLE: Millennials are often unfairly given a bad rap for doing things that other generations also do on a regular basis. They’re easy targets and older professionals like to give them a hard time. So, this article isn’t meant to be a hit piece on millennials. Rather, it’s meant to expose something that’s true: Every millennial who has aspirations of being successful in the tech space needs an older mentor.
Tuesday, May 9, 2017 ARTICLE: Most people in the United States rely on technology to do their work, exchange messages, and even handle their financial transactions. The fear of being hacked, or having their personal information vulnerable and/or stolen, is prominent and played up by both technology companies and the media.

Thursday, May 11, 2017 ARTICLE: utsourcing is something formerly available only to businesses and people with large amounts of cash flow. Thanks to the internet, every business, entrepreneur, contractor, and individual now has access to outsourcing services to help relieve some of their duties. The best part is that on the internet you can outsource locally – you no longer have to outsource overseas.
Thursday, May 11, 2017 BLOG POST: Part of the fun and challenge of following SAP is that its present and future are defined by the intersection of its own peculiarities and the peculiarities of the markets it lives in. This interplay means that SAP, like many large software companies, isn’t just a single company with a single overarching strategy: it’s really many companies with many strategies. The trick for SAP is to make sure they overlap more than they contradict each other.
Friday, May 12, 2017 BLOG POST: We’re back, discoursing on the challenges SAP will face as platform proliferation and the shifting of the edge app issue into the hands of the LOB developer influences what vendor’s tools and platform will be used to power its customers’ digital transformations. Where we last left off, I was about to illustrate SAP’s dilemma with a true-to-life story.)

Monday, Nov 19, 2012 BLOGPOST: First, let me set the record straight: I have not suffered (much) as a result of Hurricane Sandy. My story is about minor inconveniences and life disrupted in subtle ways – nothing as compared to the many folks who have truly suffered: loss of homes, health, livelihood, and even loved ones. To them all I wish a speedy return to safe shelter, dry clothes, hot food, and a warm bed. It is a brief and inconsequential personal account and observation on a) the lack of preparedness in modern life for the breakdown of modern life as we know it, and b) the brilliant performance during the disaster and its aftermath of that little portable SoMoClo™ endpoint, the smartphone.
Friday, Nov 23, 2012 BLOGPOST: Debt is bad. We hear this simple rule from parents when they educate their children on the proper use of money, from politicians when they try to control economy, and of course from our managers when we try to sell a proposal which needs investment. Expenses should be done from our earned money. On the other hand, success often stems from borrowed money. Apple was started in 1976 with borrowed money from an Intel executive. Later Steve Jobs borrowed millions from Bill Gates to turn around the loss-making Apple. There seems to be good and bad debt.
Monday, Jan 21, 2013 BLOGPOST: Requirements and architecture of any system thus are highly interdependent. Projects without early architecture evaluation will overlook critical requirements. They will fail in prioritizing requirements. They face budget overruns and rework due to inappropriate and late design changes.

Friday, May 10, 2013 BLOGPOST: NIST lists three cloud service models: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) (please see the "As discussed in the Defining Cloud Computing" post and Figure 1).
Monday, May 20, 2013 BLOGPOST: Understanding cloud security risks is related to understanding the relationships and dependencies between cloud computing models. IaaS forms the foundation of the service model architecture, PaaS builds upon IaaS, and SaaS in turn builds upon PaaS; and information security issues and risks are inherited just as capabilities are.
Thursday, Jun 20, 2013 BLOGPOST: Interoperability and portability are closely related to the previously discussed Cloud elasticity and multi-tenancy. Any IaaS to SaaS cloud-implemented system should have as design goals both interoperability and portability to fully gain the benefits of the Cloud elastic environment. Although interoperability and portability are not unique for cloud and the related security aspects did not emerge with cloud computing, multi-tenancy (where data and applications of different customers/companies share platforms, storage, networks) brings the need of greater precautions than those required for traditional processing models.
Monday, Jul 1, 2013 BLOGPOST: You cannot control what you cannot measure. This holds especially for software productivity, where many companies struggle how to measure and improve it.

Tuesday, Nov 5, 2013 BLOGPOST: Cloud computing has huge potential to accelerate research, enhance collaboration, and enrich education. Educators, research administrators, IT directors, and research should realize and leverage cloud’s potential in research, teaching, and learning. They can complement their current in-house cyberinfrastructure by deploying public, private, or hybrid clouds. In fact, as a recent survey reveals, some are already benefiting by embracing the clouds.
Monday, Feb 3, 2014 PODCAST: Cloud computing is no longer on the horizon; it’s already here in a big way. Governments, business, industry, and individuals are increasingly using cloud computing for their information processing, and computational and developmental needs. They have begun to realize several benefits of cloud computing, including pay for the use, quick deployment of applications, variety of offerings from several cloud service providers, enhanced collaboration, agility, scalability, and availability.

Tuesday, Feb 18, 2014 BLOGPOST: Welcome to NealNotes; this is my inaugural blog post. Not exactly Proustian prose, but there you have it – short/succinct. Going forward, I’ll comment on various technology trends/issues/ideas, in short, whatever techles my fancy (sorry, inveterate punster too, even when borderline like that one). Unless you have successfully disengaged yourself from every conceivable 21st Century communications device, you’ve probably been hearing a lot about wearable devices – that they’re the next big trend/revolution/most stupendous technological invention since the cotton gin, ad nauseum. Well, not quite, but wearable devices were yakked about incessantly at CES 2014 last month and the overall buzz is getting louder.
Thursday, Feb 20, 2014 BLOGPOST: There are many nerdy little corners of enterprise software that don’t get the big buzz effect of overly hyped concepts like “social” and “mobile”, but never let inattention lure you into complacency. There are many factors that lead to project success or failure, and some of the more nerdy are in fact much more relevant to overall enterprise success than giving away iPads to your salespeople or trying to foist some collaboration software on an un-collaborative workforce.
Tuesday, Mar 11, 2014 BLOGPOST: It’s almost ironic that using a Windows 8 phone is actually a major geek credential – albeit geek more in the mold of driving a DeLorean than tooling around in a state of the art Tesla. But as a Windows 8 phone user for the past five months, I can say that no one notices these days when you have a new iPhone, but running around with a Windows 8 phone certainly draws comment, a good deal of it polite, if not positive. Perceptions aside, my Nokia 928 and its software are a pretty damn good tool for work, and as a business tool it’s pretty much on par with my old iPhone – albeit not a perfect one. And, if you put the larger form factor of the Nokia product line into the equation, the extra real-estate makes a huge difference in my day to day work and consumer life.
Tuesday, Mar 11, 2014 BLOGPOST: Ever corrected a problem and introduced two new defects? Introduced a last-minute change and accidentally removed an important feature? Growing governance concerns demand traceability between needs and solutions to preserve work product integrity. Traceability facilitates maintainability and dramatically reduces cost of rework. However without the right methodology and technology, traceability can be highly inefficient and thus rather decrease value.
Wednesday, Mar 26, 2014 BLOGPOST: Unless you’re completely off the technology grid (and in which case, you wouldn’t be reading this post anyhow), you’ve probably been bombarded by countless stories/mentions about the Internet of Things (IoT). Whether you’re aware of it – like it or not – the IoT is already transforming our lives. Procter & Gamble, for instance, rolled out a web-enabled toothbrush at last month’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It links with your smartphone, records your brushing habits and even has an app providing mouth-care tips alongside news headlines.
Friday, Mar 28, 2014 BLOGPOST: This week, I had the honor of co-hosting the “Future of Mobility and its Impact to Cloud” breakout session at The Intersection of Cloud and Mobility Forum, which attracted more than 50 government and business experts in the fields of cloud, mobility, and measurement. Here I share some of my presentation main points, and the brainstorming questions. >>> Wearables, Scannables, Drivables, Flyables: Did your pill just call you?—Don’t be surprised! It all is coming in full speed. We will be able to monitor our health through wearables, get our houses on the phone, use the human body for data transmission, and sense the environment.
Wednesday, Apr 16, 2014 BLOGPOST: Although the majority of data-driven enterprises may have or use BI software or systems, a recent survey we took of IT executives revealed that there is a vast difference between having BI and using BI to the company’s full advantage. There is an even larger chasm between the cost to implement BI and the value realized from those efforts. This is not good news for anyone whose bread-and-butter comes from demonstrating measurable results and ROI. But understanding the reasons why most companies aren’t realizing the full value can help plot the course for the change and make the most of the marvelous tool that is business intelligence.
Friday, Apr 18, 2014 BLOGPOST: It’s challenging enough trying to generate some noise and buzz about your product/service/app if you’re a U.S.-based startup. Cracking the U.S. market can be daunting. But if you’re a foreign startup, the difficulties are manifold. Fortunately, many countries and private organizations have realized this and have rolled out extensive programs and services to bolster the success rate for these nascent companies on this side of the pond.
Wednesday, Apr 23, 2014 PODCAST: Over 1.4 zettabytes. That’s Cisco’s projection for annual global IP traffic by the end of 2017. This translates to 120.6 exabytes per month, a more than 4x increase in the past five years, and an expected 3x increase over the next five years. If you think that this doesn’t impact you, you should take a closer look. You, your company, even your household are all contributors to this explosive traffic growth. How, you ask? Largely through public and private sector demand for mobile and cloud networking services, two of the most significant trends impacting the communications industry today.
Wednesday, May 14, 2014 BLOGPOST: Ask anyone, and you know that most people dislike when their calls drop, or when the dreaded ‘loading’ icon disrupts their live stream of the playoff game. Carriers realize this, and know that network speed and reliability are driving forces behind consumer satisfaction in today’s connected world. With the exabytes of data sent across today’s networks, however, speed and reliability can be difficult to maintain consistently. What’s less commonly known is the role that network timing and synchronization play in this whole equation. 4G LTE networks, for example, rely on highly accurate timing and synchronization for smooth cell-to-cell transfers of the mass of voice, video and mobile data.
Monday, May 19, 2014 BLOGPOST: Last month we talked about determining whether your company is ready to deploy business intelligence ‘intelligently.’ I mentioned that there’s a considerable gap between the cost to implement BI and the value gleaned from those efforts – which isn’t great for anyone whose bread-and-butter comes from demonstrating measurable results and ROI. And as a quick refresh, deploying BI intelligently begins with assessing your organization’s BI goals – something a lot of companies don’t do well. It’s critical to link BI to your company’s goals/key initiatives – this helps insure the relevance of decisions made, actions taken based on your BI system.
Wednesday, May 21, 2014 BLOGPOST: It’s hard to find a set of topics more relevant to the interplay of technology and society than security and privacy. From Glenn Greenwald’s new book on NSA leaker Edward Snowden to the recent finding of a European Union court that Google has to drastically alter the persistence of user data in its services, the societal fallout from the Internet as it enters its Big Data phase is everywhere.

Thursday, May 29, 2014 BLOGPOST: Can the Internet of Highly Insecure Things Be Trusted to Run the One True Network? As the dust settles on the recent changes at SAP, and with SAPPHIRE looming large, it’s worth taking a look at what I think will be one of the most interesting, ambitious, and potentially lucrative bets SAP has made in a long time. The bet is on Ariba and its vision for a global, competitor-crushing, B2B network. At stake is nothing short of a major reconfiguration of the global economy, global trade, global service delivery, and pretty everything else that falls under the rubric of B2B commerce as we know it.
Friday, May 30, 2014 PODCAST: The United Arab Emirates, a federation of seven states (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al Qaiwain) formed in 1971, has grown over the past 15 years to become one of the Middle East’s most important economic centers. Concurrent with this phenomenal growth have been major advancements in the healthcare arena. In fact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the UAE ranked first in life expectancy in 2009 (78 years), had the lowest infant mortality rate and was ranked third in having the lowest adult mortality rate among other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
Friday, May 30, 2014 BLOGPOST: Back in 1974, Dov Frohman, one of Intel’s first employees and the inventor of EPROM, erasable programmable read only memory, decided to leave Silicon Valley and return to Israel, his adopted home since 1949. Frohman was charged with helping Intel establish a small chip design center in Haifa, which at the time, was Intel’s first outside the U.S. The rest, as the cliché goes, is history. In a little over a generation, the Israeli semiconductor industry has grown to now employ more than 20,000; annual revenues are about US $5 billion.
Tuesday, Jun 3, 2014 BLOGPOST: $19 trillion. That’s the Internet of Things (IoT) market size as recently estimated by Cisco CEO John Chambers. According to Morgan Stanley forecasts, some 75 billion devices could be connected to the IoT by 2020, or 9.4 devices for each one of the eight billion people on earth. While much of the hype is on the consumer side and still coming to fruition, the industrial IoT is an entirely different animal and very real today. There are multiple industrial IoT applications where the embedded machine-to-machine (M2M) networking between ‘smart objects’ already exists. This includes a range of commercial, industrial and government applications, ranging from video surveillance and security, smart energy, intelligent transportation, digital signage, manufacturing automation and even automotive connectivity, to name a few. And these applications have far more exacting requirements than consumer-based IoT, the key ones of which we’ll address.
Wednesday, Jun 25, 2014 BLOGPOST: The IoT is already resulting in significant changes in many areas of healthcare. To explore further, I reached out to a number of globally recognized IoT experts and posed a number of questions.
Wednesday, Jun 25, 2014 PODCAST: The ‘selfie’ phenomenon has grown exponentially. BGR, for instance, estimates more than 250 billion selfies will be taken worldwide this year. People from all walks of life have embraced selfies. In fact, The Guardian reports that UK farmers are posting ‘felfies’ – a selfie snapped on the farm. “But it’s not just for fun – social media is a lifeline for people in a lonely profession…the ‘felfie’ is taking off, with farmers posting photos of themselves next to their favorite sheep, cow or tractor,” noted The Guardian.
Tuesday, Jul 1, 2014 BLOGPOST: According to Google Developer Advocate, Don Dodge, the Internet of Things (IoT) requires a ‘brand new network.’ He made some great points at the recent MIT Technology Review Digital Summit, but the linchpin of what he’s really talking about here is small cells. That is, the femto-, pico- and microcells that carriers use to fill in the coverage and capacity gaps in their networks. These are the same small cells that have become so commonplace that AT&T; actually has a whole commercial campaign essentially explaining small cells and how they’re using them to improve their network.

Wednesday, Jul 23, 2014 PODCAST: Culturing 3D human tissue on a microchip isn’t new. Like system-on-a-chip (SoC), which shoehorns most of a digital computer into a single chip, an organ-on-a-chip is designed to replicate human organ functions (including activities and mechanics like blood and oxygen flow) on a transparent, flexible microchip. These microfluidic devices which, in effect, are 3D cell culture versions of real organs, already exist for artery, cartilage, gut, heart, kidney, and skin.
Tuesday, Jul 22, 2014 PODCAST: Telemedicine has been around in some form for almost 40 years – and it’s now increasingly becoming a cost-effective and indispensable tool for doctors, rural hospitals, and local and regional governmental agencies situated in rural areas.
Monday, Sep 1, 2014 BLOGPOST: Telehealth. We’ve seen that word bandied about frequently. In brief, telehealth comprises not only physician-patient interactions but information and educational services that foster awareness of treatments, medical conditions, good health practices and diagnoses. And while telehealth is becoming more widespread, NTT DATA, a Tokyo-based IT services provider, indicated in its Trends in Telehealth white paper published earlier this year that “the healthcare industry is historically a late adopter of technology and this has proven to be a barrier to all new solutions that rely on technology.”
Monday, Sep 1, 2014 BLOGPOST: Last year architects in Amsterdam started constructing a 3D printed home. Aircraft manufacturers are honing ways to build 3D printed planes. And 3D printing is now wending its way through the fashion industry. A 3D printed dress designed by Michael Schmidt (designed on an iPad), was printed for a private runway event – it was printed in 17 parts on an EOS P350 3D printer. “3D printing presents tremendous opportunities for businesses,” said Simon Jones, a partner at DLA Piper in London, a global law firm. “Manufacturers will no longer need to own large production facilities halfway around the world, because they can print products on demand or sell licenses to print them locally. This will have a huge impact on the supply chain; it will benefit the environment as there will be less waste, and companies will no longer need to spend a fortune gearing up to make a product and hoping its stock sells.” So the sky’s the limit for 3D printing. And for counterfeiters too.

Wednesday, Sep 17, 2014 BLOGPOST: I will be the first to admit that there are lots of different ways to categorize data. And I would like to add, that there is not necessarily one right way to do it. But at the end of the day, understanding the totality of a problem is easier if you find a way to break it down into component parts, categories, or summarize the information.
Thursday, Sep 18, 2014 PODCAST: SuccessFactors’ user conference, SuccessConnect, has come and gone, and the four questions I posed in my previous post about the challenges facing SuccessFactors and SAP were largely answered. But, as in any good dialectic, one good answer is just the starting point for another good question….. I’ll start with the Workday question/answer in this post, and continue with answers to my other three questions in a subsequent post.
Tuesday, Sep 23, 2014 BLOGPOST: The fundamental problems plaguing Oracle won’t go away with Larry moving into an executive chairman role, this is more lipstick on a pig than a serious attempt to get the company back on course. The problem is that shuffling the deck chairs does nothing for dealing with the company’s three fundamental problems. Until these are addressed, I think it’s safe to assume there will be no turnaround any time soon.
Friday, Oct 3, 2014 BLOGPOST: With the world’s population now exceeding seven billion, many municipalities in both emerging markets and developed nations are paying closer attention on how they manage their infrastructure and resources. A number of larger cities are well on their way to becoming smart cities. Market research firm Frost & Sullivan succinctly sums up how these cities are now being defined – built on solutions and technology leading to the adoption of at least five of eight smart parameters – smart energy, smart building, smart mobility, smart healthcare, smart infrastructure, smart technology, smart governance and smart education, and smart citizen.
Thursday, Oct 2, 2014 BLOGPOST: While telemedicine in the workplace to date has been used more by large businesses, this is thankfully beginning to change as technology costs decrease and support increases. Businesses of all sizes are realizing that the benefits of telemedicine in the workplace are considerable: Ø Fewer expensive visits to the emergency room; Ø Better employee retention; Ø Reduced employee time away from the job. And some companies have particularly been proactive in introducing telemedicine in the workplace. Way back in 2011, noted Modern Healthcare, Cisco expanded its use of telemedicine to reach employees at other locations and to connect San Jose, CA-based workers to specialists.
Tuesday, Oct 7, 2014 BLOGPOST: A recent WIRED article claimed that millennials don’t care about mobile security. But like it or not, the fact is that that security in mobile networks is a growing concern, and clearly an issue that’s not going away anytime soon. As my colleague, Martin Nuss, pointed out in a panel discussion at CTIA Super Mobility Week last month, the explosion in 4G networks driven by small cell deployment, coupled with the tremendous growth in BYOD, has created a global IT security threat that needs urgent attention.
Friday, Oct 10, 2014 BLOGPOST: The news that Meg Whitman is finally pulling the plug on the Sisyphian task of trying to resurrect HP has profound implications for the future of Oracle, and not just because the mess that Whitman was unable to unravel was an HP made functionally unmanageable by a previous HP CEO: Mark Hurd, now co-CEO of Oracle. I think Oracle has been on the leadership skids for a while, but Hurd’s track record at HP, the end-game of which is now being played out in the breakup of the once-vaunted tech leader, provides a good roadmap for how Oracle ends up on the chopping block like HP.
Monday, Nov 17, 2014 BLOGPOST: Distribution or dissemination of information is probably one of the most critical aspects of supply chain business intelligence and information management. The reason is that the cost associate with data collection, data cleansing and analytics is incurred up front in the information management process, while the benefits that are derived from the former can only be realized if the information is in the hands of the right people.
Thursday, Oct 23, 2014 BLOGPOST: While President Obama’s naming last week of a new ‘Ebola czar’ (Ron Klain, a former White House advisor) to oversee the federal government’s response to the outbreak, here and abroad, is a positive step, much more is needed to help combat the contagious disease. There are tools to treat Ebola and other infectious diseases remotely - in particular – telemedicine.
Friday, Oct 24, 2014 BLOGPOST: It’s hard to slog through mega-conferences like Dreamforce, and not just because 135,000 people are way too much for San Francisco and its Moscone Center to handle. The sheer girth of Salesforce.com is also a factor: the company has become an immensely complicated and multifaceted company, maybe too much so for a single conference. Regardless, Dreamforce reminds me of why I don’t see my favorite bands in a coliseum setting: The volume needed to fill a coliseum washes out the undertones and overtones that make music a rich and complex listening experience, instead leaving the listener to sort through a lot of random, washed out noise.
Thursday, Oct 30, 2014 BLOGPOST: There’s always a lot to say about Microsoft, and, like any big company, it’s usually a mix of good or bad. Having spent two days last week at the Microsoft Dynamics analyst event, I think that when it comes to the enterprise, most of what there is to say about Microsoft isn’t just good: Microsoft’s enterprise story just gets better and better, and while there are holes and issues abounding, the old maxim that Microsoft eventually gets it right was very much in evidence last week (with one notable, and important exception).
Thursday, Oct 30, 2014 BLOGPOST: Textbook. 20th Century definition: A manual of instruction in any branch of study. 21st Century definition: Ancient learning methodology, last used by aging baby boomers. Killed lots of trees. Replaced by e-Books that are usually interactive and often open or free to use and sometimes edit.
Thursday, Nov 13, 2014 BLOGPOST: Collaboration of information and timing and are two extremely critical aspects of supply chain business intelligence and information management. Not getting data to the appropriate decision makers renders the information nominally useless. Not giving it to the right people, or right group of people, via the right mechanism also means that data loses value. The truth is that moving information between humans is much more difficult to do in some cases than it is to calculate reports and analytics that need to be disseminated. This is because collaboration between humans is a behavioral issue, and no amount of technology thrown at the problem can make people silos disappear.
Monday, Nov 10, 2014 PODCAST: Analytics are now an integral part of any supply chain information management system. Modern computing power and advances in analytical software have made powerful analytics not only possible, but practical for most businesses sitting on top of a cornucopia of supply chain data. Analytics run the gambit from historical data dumps to models that suggest the best course of action based on a set of probable outcomes.
Tuesday, Nov 18, 2014 BLOGPOST: Hanging out with Kinaxis, the relatively small and always interesting supply chain vendor from Ottawa, Canada, never fails to be an eye-opening experience. It’s not just that I get to meet with a vendor and a loyal cadre of customers who are collectively pushing the envelope on all things supply chain, it’s that sometimes they’re pushing an envelope I hadn’t seen before in my peregrinations in the supply chain world. This year’s Kinexions user conference was no different. What I heard from Kinaxis about taking Rapid Response, its in-memory supply chain planning product, further into the realm of collaboration by pushing users to self-identify their areas of responsibility represented an excellent strategic direction on the part of Kinaxis
Monday, Dec 1, 2014 BLOGPOST: It’s probably not too far fetched now to predict that in the near future – at least within the next decade or so according to some studies and experts – you might be served by R2D2, or a similar robotic food service entity. Yes, numerous restaurants, especially those of the fast-food variety, are rapidly embracing
Tuesday, Dec 2, 2014 PODCAST: There is perhaps no contemporary issue at the intersection of technology and public policy that is more contentious and conflicted than net neutrality. The issue itself has probably accounted for its own increase in Internet traffic over the last couple of years as opinions, jeremiads, official proclamations, and even HBO’s John Oliver, have weighed in on the issue.
Wednesday, Dec 10, 2014 BLOGPOST: I think it’s pretty fair to say that counting Microsoft out in a market it has made a commitment to is a classic rookie mistake that serves as the epitaph for too many forgotten companies. If at first you don’t succeed, try try again is a time-honored mantra in Redmond. And it’s pretty evident that Windows Phone is one of those areas where Microsoft has made big commitments – including but hardly limited to its $7.2 billion purchase of Nokia’s phone business – and where the company is on the record as committed to try try again.
Friday, Feb 13, 2015 BLOGPOST: So, smooth sailing for S/4 HANA?– Not likely, certainly nothing like the good old days when R/3 was the biggest and the baddest modern, client/server, enterprise software product on the market, marauding through the global economy like a rum-soaked buccaneer.

With billions of people using social media, it's increasingly difficult for users to control what they're disclosing and to whom.

The title of the article is from linguist Noam Chomsky, who used it to distinguish between syntax and semantics. Virtually all privacy solutions thus far handle issues relating only to the first hop of the personal data flow from a user. The gap can only be filled by examining the semantics behind the multihop flow of user data over time.

This project infers real-time, fine-grained air-quality information throughout a city, based on air-quality data reported by existing monitor stations and a variety of data sources observed in the city, such as meteorology, traffic flow, human mobility, the structure of road networks, and points of interest. This fine-grained air-quality information could help people figure out when and where to go jogging\u2014or when they should shut the window or put on a face mask in locations where air quality is already a daily issue. This could lead to long-term solutions in predicting forthcoming air quality and identifying the root cause of air pollution.","dateTimeMS":1399539060000,"title":"When Urban Air Quality Meets Big Data","type":"article","subCategories":"","url":"/web/computingnow/big data/content?g=53319&type=article&urlTitle=when-urban-air-quality-meets-big-data","target":"_self","peerReviewed":false,"subType":"VIDEO","id":8193213,"orderField":0},{"dateTime":"Tuesday, May 6, 2014","urlTitle":"errant-hashtag:-real-change","javaClass":"org.ieee.common.bean.ContentBean","imagePath":"/cms/dlmig/image/computingnow/csi205","groupId":53319,"channel":"SOFTWARE ENGINEERING","description":"Author David Alan Grier expands on his Errant Hashtag column, discussing how The change that software has wrought is a change to how we organize ourselves.","dateTimeMS":1399348860000,"title":"Errant Hashtag: Real Change","type":"article","subCategories":"","url":"/web/computingnow/software engineering/content?g=53319&type=article&urlTitle=errant-hashtag%3A-real-change","target":"_self","peerReviewed":false,"subType":"VIDEO","id":8172174,"orderField":0},{"dateTime":"Wednesday, May 7, 2014","urlTitle":"toward-compressive-camera-networks","javaClass":"org.ieee.common.bean.ContentBean","imagePath":"/cms/dlmig/image/computingnow/csi206","groupId":53319,"channel":"BIG DATA","description":"A video demonstration of how compressive sensing lets researchers reconstruct high-resolution data from fewer samples, which could alleviate the data deluge in large-scale multimodal camera networks.","dateTimeMS":1399435260000,"title":"Toward Compressive Camera Networks","type":"article","subCategories":"","url":"/web/computingnow/big data/content?g=53319&type=article&urlTitle=toward-compressive-camera-networks","target":"_self","peerReviewed":false,"subType":"VIDEO","id":8172602,"orderField":0},{"dateTime":"Monday, May 12, 2014","urlTitle":"computing-conversations:-nathaniel-borenstein-on-mime","javaClass":"org.ieee.common.bean.ContentBean","imagePath":"/cms/dlmig/image/computingnow/csi207","groupId":53319,"channel":"NETWORKING","description":"Author Charles Severance provides an audio recording of his Computing Conversations column, in which he discusses his interview with Nathaniel Borenstein about how mail evolved from plaintext to multimedia.","dateTimeMS":1399871160000,"title":"Computing Conversations: Nathaniel Borenstein on MIME","type":"article","subCategories":"","url":"/web/computingnow/networking/content?g=53319&type=article&urlTitle=computing-conversations%3A-nathaniel-borenstein-on-mime","target":"_self","peerReviewed":false,"subType":"PODCAST","id":8172630,"orderField":0},{"dateTime":"Friday, May 16, 2014","urlTitle":"how-search-can-help-in-a-medical-crisis","javaClass":"org.ieee.common.bean.ContentBean","imagePath":"/cms/dlmig/image/computingnow/csi230","groupId":53319,"channel":"MOBILE","description":"One day, a woman named Lisa is walking her dog, Lucky, when she meets an elderly neighbor.
