This is the fourth in a series of posts (first, next, previous) in which I am exploring five key technology themes which will shape our work in the coming decade: The Emergence of the Individual Narrative;The Increasing Perfection of Information;The Primacy of Decision Contexts;The Realization of Rapid Solution Development;The Right-Sizing of Information Tools. The Primacy of … Continue reading Five Key Technology Themes Which Will Shape the Coming Decade, Part 4: The Primacy of Decision Contexts

Your Knowledge Strategy: And Magic Filled the Air
In my last post, 'You Don't Need a Data Strategy, You Need A Knowledge Strategy,' I painted a high level sketch of why we need knowledge strategies, and the key features they need to address. I skipped ahead pretty quickly, rambling on<the time is now to sing my song /Zep> to cover a breadth of … Continue reading Your Knowledge Strategy: And Magic Filled the Air
You Don’t Need a Data Strategy, You Need a Knowledge Strategy
In my post "Throw Off Those 1960's Data Strategy Shackles" I suggested that the days of the Inmon/Kimball model strategy for analytics are past, sketched out a couple of notes on making events the atoms in our data strategies, and promised a longer answer to what our future states should look like. Continuing on that … Continue reading You Don’t Need a Data Strategy, You Need a Knowledge Strategy
The CONQUER Architecture for Distributed Systems, Part 1 of Probably Too Many but Hopefully Just Enough
Some time between 2010 and 2013 I began thinking differently about integration, both among components of distributed applications and among distributed applications per se. I know the rough time span because I published an integration reference architecture here in 2010 that did not feature the new ideas, and one in 2013 that did - well, … Continue reading The CONQUER Architecture for Distributed Systems, Part 1 of Probably Too Many but Hopefully Just Enough
The Event Re-Renaissance Continued: Knowledge vs. Data
In my last post, we started digging into the re-emergence of complex event processing and event-driven architectures which has been enabled by the latest generation of stateful stream processors such as Spark Streaming, Samza, Kafka Streams, Apache Flink, and Google DataFlow. Today let's start to develop a clear line of sight into the underlying conceptual … Continue reading The Event Re-Renaissance Continued: Knowledge vs. Data
The Nature of Knowledge Work
I was writing a generational history of electronic data exchange yesterday, and in the description of the first generation explained why we call batch files 'batch' files. They are produced by batch jobs. Batch jobs are one of the three classic methods of production that antedated the computer age: job or 'one-off' production, batch production, … Continue reading The Nature of Knowledge Work
