S2P System to person collaboration software.Many of today's software programs are simply toolboxes which enable users to accomplish certain tasks on the computer. Programs like MS Word, Apple iTunes, and Google gmail are general tools which a user employs to achieve his goals, but they usually aren't involved in these processes, except for providing a couple wizards to automate a couple tasks. These tools don't collaborate because they really don't know what the objective is, but they provide a platform which enables a user to get the job done herself. These same platforms can be used by expert systems and agents which are able to directly assist people in accomplishing specific tasks. These collaborative systems are able to do this because they are given knowledge specific to the jobs being pursued. Depending on how they are programmed, these systems can help in many ways. Here is just a sampling:
Often these kinds of tools are custom programmed at great expense, using low level languages and integrating high level rules-processing systems. Having worked for many years on software to understand mold design, I have learned how to generalize S2P software which should make development much easier in the near future. S2P software will enable users to fully take advantage of the computational capabilities of their computers. Computers will take on the routine, laborious, and computationally intensive aspects of a job, leaving users to focus on the interesting, creative, and unique elements of their work. The emergence of customizable S2P software will enable even small companies to take advantage of this technology, resulting in a tremendous boost in productivity: Quality will go up, and work time will go way down. |
