KnownSpace applications should have the following six properties. These buzzwords, in essence, describe the KnownSpace project itself (KnownSpace is fully buzzword-compliant).
flexible |
It should be reconfigurable and rewritable.
Solutions to complex problems are unlikely to be anything but partial. |
aware |
It should analyze its data.
It must try to see data relationships as its user sees them. |
adaptive |
It should analyze its user's actions.
It must try to decide what its user's current goal is. |
autonomous |
It should be capable of working alone.
It is a poor helper that requires constant supervision. |
spatial |
It should have a visual, fluid, "spatial" interface.
The human visual system evolved to read images, not text. |
networkable |
It should be natively network-aware.
The vast majority of data available today is online, not on the desktop. |
