Big Data still in naivety proves Elusive to Big Picture and Randomness

Big Data as it exists today is not necessarily a tool that creates the Big Picture. Most systems that exists today are designed based on predicated methods. These rely on known variables, the only constraint unknown are the values of the variables. Predicated system are constrained to create newer insight as they are bounded by […]

Enterprise Architecture in China: Who uses this stuff?

by Chris Forde, GM APAC and VP Enterprise Architecture, The Open Group Since moving to China in March 2010 I have consistently heard a similar set of statements and questions, something like this…. “EA? That’s fine for Europe and America, … Continue reading

What is Natural Language Processing?

Before proceeding with the Building better systems series I thought I should write a quick post over the weekend about the underlying Natural Language Processing (NLP) and text engineering technologies proposed in the solution. I have received a lot of questions about this when I posted How to build better systems – the specification.

In my opinion, the ‘Enterprise’ in Enterprise Architecture should include all those stakeholders that are engaged with an organisation. This include all those suppliers and service providers to the left hand […]

A Project Portfolio Management Approach

I introduced an approach to project portfolio managment (PPM) to my IT team at the American University of Sharjah.  After 9 months here, I have a real sense that we were doing too many projects for the resources that we had available.   The result of trying to do too much was that our planning […]

Implicate Order – Probabilistic Ontology – Complexity Theory

For several years I have been probing Implicate Order as a way for modeling a system owing to the fact that all systems are probabilistically deterministic. Also, what is evident in a system is – in the method there exists Cartesian dilemma, This means the method used to study the macro behavior and the micro […]
