in the middle of essential and inevitable tasks restless inner conscience wakens and asks stuck again today to the computer are we now please remind me this state we reached how
oh we had bills to pay student loans to repay once we got hooked t’was easy to be carried away just a matter of time before inevitable voices query this is my machine that I want to marry
I spend more time with him/her as it is the Machinery is devoted with focused loyalties meanwhile the non machine world goes round strives forth on things less profound

The web application Rwui is used to create web interfaces for running R scripts. All the code is generated automatically so that a fully functional web interface for an R script can be downloaded and up and running in a matter of minutes.
Rwui is aimed at R script writers who have scripts that they want people unversed in R to use. The script writer uses Rwui to create a web application that will run their R script. Rwui allows the script writer to do this without them having to do any web application programming, because Rwui generates all the code for them.
The script writer designs the web application to run their R script by entering information on a sequence of web pages. The script writer then downloads the application they have created and installs it on their own server.
Here is a celebrated graphic from an American journalist using U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is a good example of using time as a dimension for animation- and heat maps for geography enabled visualizations.
————————–According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are nearly 31 million people currently unemployed — that’s including those involuntarily working part time and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression, millions of Americans are hurting. “The Decline: The Geography of a Recession,” as created by labor writer LaToya Egwuekwe, serves as a vivid representation of just how much. Watch the deteriorating transformation of the U.S. economy from January 2007 — approximately one year before the start of the recession — to the most recent unemployment data available today.

31 million unemployed- Does a US corporation seriously think that it can build everything OUTSIDE America and SELL INSIDE America. or who think it is okay intellectual property continues to be stolen as long as labor is cheap.
Shame on you if you outsourced your neighbour’s jobs- or would rather hire in a geography where they steal your intellectual property.
This Christmastime – May the Ghost of the Unemployed Family Christmases visit you in your sleep instead.

Complex Event Processing (CEP- not to be confused by Circular Probability Error) is defined processing many events happening across all the layers of an organization, identifying the most meaningful events within the event cloud, analyzing their impact, and taking subsequent action in real time.
Oracle CEP is a Java application server for the development and deployment of high-performance event driven applications. It can detect patterns in the flow of events and message payloads, often based on filtering, correlation, and aggregation across event sources, and includes industry leading temporal and ordering capabilities. It supports ultra-high throughput (1 million/sec++) and microsecond latency.
Tibco is also trying to get into this market (it claims to have a 40 % market share in the public CEP market 😉 though probably they have not measured the DoE and DoD as worthy of market share yet
What it is: Methods 1 through 3 look at historical data and traditional architectures with information stored in the warehouse. In this environment, it often takes months of data cleansing and preparation to get the data ready to analyze. Now, what if you want to make a decision or determine the effect of an action in real time, as a sale is made, for instance, or at a specific step in the manufacturing process. With streaming data architectures, you can look at data in the present and make immediate decisions. The larger flood of data coming from smart phones, online transactions and smart-grid houses will continue to increase the amount of data that you might want to analyze but not keep. Real-time streaming, complex event processing (CEP) and analytics will all come together here to let you decide on the fly which data is worth keeping and which data to analyze in real time and then discard.
When you use it: Radio-frequency identification (RFID) offers a good user case for this type of architecture. RFID tags provide a lot of information, but unless the state of the item changes, you don’t need to keep warehousing the data about that object every day. You only keep data when it moves through the door and out of the warehouse.
The same concept applies to a customer who does the same thing over and over. You don’t need to keep storing data for analysis on a regular pattern, but if they change that pattern, you might want to start paying attention.

In academia here is something called SASE Language
The query below retrieves the total trading volume of Google stocks in the 4 hour period after some bad news occurred.
PATTERN SEQ(News a, Stock+ b[ ])WHERE [symbol] AND a.type = 'bad' AND b[i].symbol = 'GOOG' WITHIN 4 hoursHAVING b[b.LEN].volume < 80%*b[1].volumeRETURN sum(b[ ].volume)
The next query reports a one-hour period in which the price of a stock increased from 10 to 20 and its trading volume stayed relatively stable.
PATTERN SEQ(Stock+ a[])WHERE [symbol] AND a[1].price = 10 AND a[i].price > a[i-1].price AND a[a.LEN].price = 20 WITHIN 1 hourHAVING avg(a[].volume) ≥ a[1].volumeRETURN a[1].symbol, a[].price
The third query detects a more complex trend: in an hour, the volume of a stock started high, but after a period of price increasing or staying relatively stable, the volume plummeted.
PATTERN SEQ(Stock+ a[], Stock b)WHERE [symbol] AND a[1].volume > 1000 AND a[i].price > avg(a[…i-1].price)) AND b.volume < 80% * a[a.LEN].volume WITHIN 1 hourRETURN a[1].symbol, a[].(price,volume), b.(price,volume)
(note from Ajay-
I was not really happy about the depth of resources on CEP available online- there seem to be missing bits and pieces in both open source, academic and corporate information- one reason for this is the obvious military dual use of this technology- like feeds from Satellite, Audio Scans, etc)
