SOA filling the Gaps

In a previous post titled:  Technology Predictions for 2015: Trivial, Over Estimated and Interesting , I analyzed  IDC's 2015 Technological Predictions. This post is dedicated to Gartner's top ten Strategic Technology Trends for 2015 . In addition of reading Gartner's prediction hyperlinked above, I read TechRepublic's article: Gartner's top 10 technology trends for 2015: All about the cloud . Methodological notes 1. Classifying of a prediction as Trivial does not imply that it is no t valid and does not imply that it should not be included in analysts' prediction. 2. A prediction could be classified as Over Estimated in different circumstances: a. The Technology is not so important as the analyst classified it.  It may vanish in Long Term or its use will be less prevalent than the analyst predict it will or its use will provide less Value than predicted so it will not be so important.   b. It is so immature that it will take longer time than speculate...

Artificial cardiac pacemaker Source: Wikipedia Wearable Computing is a new Buz and/or new Technology . The vision of human beings with permanent Computing device is beyond wearing it. The vision is of a an electronic chip implanted in our body i.e. Computing device inside every one or a Digital Human Being. Each Digital Human Being will have an IP address. An Internet of Human Beings beyond The Internet of Things . The device can record and transmit body measurements and control and regulate them. Unlike Wearables, e.g. Apple Watch, which you can get rid of, you are not able to get rid of a chip easily: you will probably need a medical operation in order to take it out from your body. Actually a limited version of that vision is already a reality. For example, the Artificial cardiac pacemaker , which maintains an adequate heart rate. Wearable cardiac pacemakers are available since 1958. Modern cardiac pacemakers are implantable and are externally programmable.  S...

Holter monitor Inventor: Norman Holter Source: Wikipedia About 15 years ago I fainted. It was the only time in my life that I fainted.  The reasons were probably, blood donation a day before, Work from 7:00 until 19:00 and participation in the the thirty-third day of the Omer period ceremonies of my children (I stood for a long time beside the traditional fire).  No problem found during The Medical Check up, I performed.  The Medical Check up included wearing an  Holter Monitor recording my heart activity for 24 hours. The Holter was a Wearable computing device, however nobody used the word Wearable. If we exclude the enhanced computing power of current Wearables in comparison to the old Holter monitor, we can find two factor differentiating current Wearables from the Holter Monitor. Size The size of current Wearables is smaller than old wearables.   This differentiating factor is not important. Connectivity This is a significant diffe...

Picture source: Wikipedia It is an annual ritual: predictions for next year. After a year, two years or 5 years you discover that some of the predictions were right, some were wrong and nobody is sure if other predictions were right or wrong. 2015 is not an exception.  Recently I read two article  about IDC's predictions. The two articles describe the same predictions. The articles phrase differently the same predictions.  I will refer to the first article titled: I DC's top ten predictions for 2015 .   However, the first article omitted an interesting point about Internet of Things Vendors. I will refer to what was written in the second article titled: IDC: top 10 technology predictions for 2015 .  No one, including me, could be sure to which category (right, wrong, unknown) a prediction will fail. I divide IDC's predictions to three groups: 1. trivial I am not going to discuss trivial predictions such as "Wireless data growth", "Pablets wil...
