A Deluge of Data Shapes a New Era in Computing

This is the title of an article in the New York Times. It describes admirably the ‘problem’ that my software methods can help to ‘solve’. The article is actually the review of a book called The Fourth Paradigm.

The late Microsoft researcher Dr. Jim Gray said in a speech in January 2007 that the only way to cope with an “exaflood” of observational data was “to manage, visualize and analyse the data flood”. Well, my approach to visualizing multi-dimensional data offers exactly that!

Similarly, Dr. Eric Horvitz, an artificial intelligence researcher for Microsoft says: “My goal now is to develop a new kind of telescope or microscope.” Well, my “software lenses” are exactly that!

Offering a new instrument of observation means increasing our intelligence. Let’s hope that 2010 will be the year in which my three software methods will see the “online light” of a web service.

Today I got the email that accepted my submission to the competition to participate in the Innovation Village of SPIE Photonics Europe.

I consider it “interesting PR” or “PR with a difference”.

Here’s the document that I submitted: Innovation Village

Moving on from the general basic research, where the Director General of CERN suggested that I’m competing with them, I’m now working on a specific solution for one particular company.

This company produces imaging technology that is capable of identifying cells but not tissues. So, instead of RE-visualising their images, we are now going to produce image SEPARATIONS for each tissue.

Live, learn and change your approach – according to the people who come across your way!
