Application Architecture, Development & Integration

One of the most interesting new areas of research that I have seen is the work led by Bill Clark on Context Delivery Architecture. The notion is to have applications take into account the “context” of the user, such as their location or previous behaviors.
It made me think of a great little “flashmob” video of Grand Central Station. (Check this post for more on flashmobs) This is a great example of a change in context! Imagine the potential of taking into account information outside of the main process or transaction that someone is focused on…there is tremendous potential to bring new business value to the table. This becomes really interesting when combined with Event Driven Architecture concepts, which you can see in the Event Processing Scenario presented by Roy Schulte.
