08 Nov AI-BI-CI: Steps to Better Decisions
By: Joe Roushar – November 2018 AI: Artificial Intelligence Can you understand the things you observe and use them to make better decisions? Random colored dots that seem chaotic up close, when arranged by an artist in a pointillist painting, can become richly meaningful and appealing. The dots may have great variety in color and […]
09 Jan 2017 – The Year of AI
Joe Roushar – January 2017 Intelligent but Artificial Recently, January 5th, 2017, on my ride into work I was listening to BBC World Update with Dan Damon, as I often do, and heard him interviewing someone about the new artificial intelligence (AI) app for the British National Health Service from Babylon Health (similar story on […]
20 Aug Sustainable Software: Three Ways to Future-Proof Enterprise IT
Joe Roushar – August 2016 I have often heard COOs and CIOs lament the fact that systems need to be replaced too frequently because they tend to be brittle and costly to adapt. Yet changes in the marketplace and regulations force companies to update automation capabilities, often requiring rapid change. Mergers and acquisitions compound the problem […]

Translation as A Sample Domain For our sample domain, we need something that requires expertise, is not trivial, and about which the author knows something. This limits us significantly, so we are taking the easy way out and going with the domain of Machine Translation (MT) of human languages. We considered the intricacies of communication […]
26 Jan Give Me Smart Requirements
I know how to solve this problem! I’ll just blast it to smithereens – Fire – Aim – Ready.

There are many companies that effectively use intelligent processes and […]
07 Jan What’s in a Decision
A decision by any other name would feel as risky Take any class of software and you can find some structures or processes that you can associate back to some human-like structure or processes. To keep this more simple and relevant, I am focused on looking at systems that are fundamentally designed to replicate more […]
05 Jan Another Great Year in Cyberspace
2015 promises to be a good one. Going into the year we see massive progress in the “big data” movement ushering in unparalleled convergence of structured and unstructured content. I am seeing more model-based solutions, and broader use of semantics and ontologies in enterprise solutions. Mobile apps are getting smarter all the time with time […]
