ReactGraph Part 3 – The Data Model
Investigation into bringing together graph and reactive computing. This is the third post in the series and deals with the platform’s data model. ReactGraph Part 1: Graphs and Reactive Computing – Historical Context ReactGraph Part 2: Remote evaluation of continuous queries Nodes and Edges Everything in ReactGraph is a node. A node has an identity…

ReactGraph Part 2: Remote evaluation of continuous queries
Investigation into bringing together graph and reactive computing. This is the second post in the series and deals with the remote evaluation of continuous queries. ReactGraph – Part 1: Graphs and Reactive Computing – Historical Context What’s an IQbservable? In my previous post I mentioned that Reactor is based on the IQbservable abstraction. Given the importance…

ReactGraph – Part 1: Graphs and Reactive Computing – Historical Context
Over the last few weeks, as a spare time side project, I’ve been experimenting with a concept that has been circulating in my head for few years now. I’ve been trying to form an opinion, by writing code, around questions such as… What does a graph store with both “pull” querying and “push” reactive computing…

One Assistant, Personalized, Device Ubiquity, All Services
I couldn’t agree more with Viv‘s principles as articulated by Dag Kittlaus in his presentation earlier today. I met with the Viv team about 2 years ago. I was very impressed by their leadership team and their work. However, Facebook managed to persuade me to join them instead. I totally subscribe to the vision of a…

Application protocol over a WebSocket?
While working on a demonstrator app for the Reactive + Graph system I’ve been building in my spare time, I found myself wanting to implement a RESTful app protocol on top of WebSockets for in-browser app <-> service communication. I actually searched for “HTTP over WebSockets” but couldn’t find anything promising. Does anyone know of…

The “A” in AI should stand for “Aspirational”
Perhaps the “A” in “AI” should stand for “Aspired” for the years to come 🙂

Are you using a digital personal assistant?
One of the design principles we established early with Cortana was the fact that a personal digital assistant is much more than just speech and conversational understanding, more than questions & answers, more than command & control of a device. By creating a deep understanding of the human over a time can result in highly personalized…

Sharing my thanks… PCs for my primary school
Few years ago, the 3rd graders (at the time) from my primary school in Petinos (my village) reached out to me for a conversation/interview over Skype. I started following their progress and even visited them at the school on occassions. When I was in primary school, we didn’t have any computers. I didn’t get exposed…

Wearable devices and natural user interfaces
As an advertisement, I find the video below really bad. However, the portrayed product features are an example of the transition towards more advanced and standalone wearable technology. Device form factors get smaller and can host software that is capable of addressing many of our communication, entertainment, and information consumption/publishing needs. Watches and other wearables, or even implants, are getting smaller,…
