The Upcoming Strategic Technology Trends and Context-rich Systems as the Key
The importance of context-rich information sharing has drawn more attention than ever before in order to fulfill the requirement for contextually aware communication. As per the Gartner’s report, the top-nine upcoming trends in the field of strategic technology usage are:
Omnipresent computing facility
Increasing usage of items, referred as ‘internet of things’
Growing popularity of smart machinery
Cloud computing
3D printing
Software controlled infrastructure and applications
Global-class computing
Setting security parameters, based on regular assessment (considering it is impossible to guarantee 100% security)
Context-rich systems
The above-mentioned trends, apparently, are different but there is a common thread of connection between them. Each of them is meant to share information almost real-time and interact upon foundation of the same. Ubiquitous computing, internet of things, smart machinery, cloud computing, software automated applications and infrastructure and assessment-based security require real-time data, so that analytics can be run and results can be delivered to users in the swiftest way (almost real-time) possible. Ubiquitous or omnipresent computing, thus, requires the entire system to become more aware of the surrounding, compared to earlier. The philosophy of context-rich system seeks fulfillment by combining collection of raw data with invasive analytics. The combination will not only reflect awareness of the surrounding environment but also will respond to user facilitation.
