In VisioningI am worry about the cost to take ownership of integrated system at my old company and the quality of the product itself. The implementor of this solution/product also make me in a situation of uncertainty. The project never deliver the first goal setting of this initiative solution in everything including employee morale. This is may be only my experience and also my opinion.
I come to my mind how if I have a system with the cost to take ownership as low as possible and easily to implement. In the first time I am thinking about to get the use of free platform/open source system may be can make this happen. In searching thereafter, I am not found the system what I need. I found disparate system with less interconnectivity available in free platform/open source initiative. There are many application software available and if I am counting may be as a whole be the most plenty software available in free platform/open source than not.
The most Website on the Internet may be has been built from free platform/open source system. Most of that systems are disparate one and another. If any, that system is costly to take ownership by other and that system is not to be sold because of any reason including the complexity or not customizable to be used by other.
This thinking direct me building application using free platform with smart capabilities as application server, automation platform, integration platform ,distributed platform, service bus and process platform. The smart capabilities applicable for both end-user perspective and implementor (internal or external) perspective. The smart capabilities also applicable for developer perspective.
System must scalable from business point-of-view means that scalable for end-user and implementor and developer. It is easily add new features and remove features. It is easily increase or reduce the process capacity without programming and stopping current process. It is easily add new processes and remove processes. It is a gift to developer by providing consistent framework and agile development platform.
System must be customizable from every perspectives. Business is ever changing and the system have to change to follow the business easily. The behavior of the system is defined using stored, retrievable, and readable configuration items. End-user has own preferences to customize the system. Implementor build solution by orchestrating configuration items. Provided for developer to create customize features.
System must be portable (platform independent). System must be developed that not depend on specific platform. The system can be deployed on any platform without modification.
System must have solid-security foundation. System also must be secure and securely access from anywhere but transparent to user. Security measures become an integral part of system. The usage of this security measure is easy to both implementor or developer, without coding if possible.
System must have foundation to build off-line processing application and distributed application. These off-line processing applications can then be sync with the defined server. The synchronization tools is an integral part of system.
System must reliable to handle any circumstances. System has to have sophisticated error handling to maintain process integrity and resource protection.
Usage of system must as broad as possible. Any application can be built on the top of this System, only by extending the System or hosting the application on this System.
System must have acceptable performance. Although system must handle sophisticated functionalities, the performance of system is acceptable running on standard hardware.
System must manageable with sophisticated administration tools. The most challenging software is how to make it in operation and stable. For most companies, the cost to operating a system eats most of the budget. This System is scalable as define above. This system is customizable as define above. This system also reliable as define above. These attributes make system manageable.
System can be deployed using its default configuration easily. Without the necessarily savvy in technology used to build the System/Application, user can utilize the most process using our System, just only thinking about his/her own process. Interconnectivity just become integral part of System in which the process reside.
System must be cluster aware. With this attribute, the availability of service using this System can be protected.
System leverages Development focus, Productivity (Simplified Development). By providing the core functionalities/ features of application, developer can focus on only narrow and specific business case. With these capabilities, productivity can be improved by simplifying the development tasks.
System must protect Investments. As smart capabilities define above system will protect the investments in an ever changing of business. System will follow business smoothly and easily and system can be extended as cheap as possible. Maintenance cost become as low as possible while still conform with the business. In overall, business will take the system at low cost with faster return.
System must conform to ISO-1926, Software Product Evaluation – Quality Characteristics and Guidelines and provide foundation for IT Governance.
About LightArmyLightArmy consists of LightAnt and LightBird. Like a bird we can easily figure out, in this way we can see the LightBird. We can see when flying on the sky. We can see when hunting for eat. We can see every movement of the bird easily. On the other hand, we need an extra efforts to know what ant doing. However, ant can build outstanding nest which can be seen.
LightBird is an inspiration from Bird. Bird creates most of its nest on high position. Nest of bird is never bigger enough in its size to the size of its bird.
A
flock is a group of birds conducting flocking behavior in flight, or while foraging. The benefits of aggregating in flocks are varied and flocks will form explicitly for specific purposes. Flocking also has costs, particularly to socially subordinate birds, which are bullied by more dominant birds; birds may also sacrifice feeding efficiency in a flock in order to gain other benefits. The principal benefits are safety in numbers and increased foraging efficiency. Defense against predators is particularly important in closed habitats such as forests where predation is often by ambush and early warning provided by multiple eyes is important, this has led to the development of many mixed-species feeding flocks. These multi-species flocks are usually composed of small numbers of many species, increasing the benefits of numbers but reducing potential competition for resources.
LightAnt is an inspiration from Ant. Ant creates most of its nest on the ground. Nest of ant is so big in its size to the size of ant. The most interesting thing of ant is how ants working together. ANT COLONY is one of computer algorithm from learning how ant found its eat.
An
ant colony is an underground lair where ant live. Colonies consist of a series of underground chambers, connected to each other and the surface of the earth by small tunnels. There are rooms for nurseries, food storage, and mating. The colony is built and maintained by legions of worker ants, who carry tiny bits of dirt in their mandibles and deposit them near the exit of the colony, forming an
ant-hill. An
ant-hill, in its simplest form, is a pile of earth, sand, pine needles, or clay or a composite of these and other materials that build up at the entrances of the subterranean dwellings of ant colonies as they are excavated. A colony is built and maintained by legions of worker ants, who carry tiny bits of dirt and/or vegetation in their mandibles and deposit them near the exit of the colony. They normally deposit the dirt or vegetation at the top of the hill to prevent it from sliding back into the colony, but in some species they actively sculpt the materials into specific shapes, and may create nest chambers within the mound.
LightArmy is an inspiration from Army. Talking about Army is talking security in general term, securing nation and Power. LightArmy is synergy maker between LightAnt and LightBird. LightArmy leverages LightAnt and LightBird and deliver new capabilities. LightArmy is a secure platform as LightAnt and LightBird. The synergy making System easy to extend and maintain to support broad range of applications in an efficient way, maximizing each Power.
