While living in India I made a little prototype for a process-flow based system for lawyers. Its a Java SWT/JFace app, using the Eclipse Graphical Editing Framework. I love GEF. It boggles my scrotum. Anyway, its not much, but I'm not working on this anymore and so I've decided to set it free. Someone with more legal expertise and more devotion than myself could create something very cool along these lines, and probably will, someday.

Source requests to source@lucision.com until I clean that up and post it too.

FSM : Finite State Machine

This samples demonstrates the use of Kermeta to specify the behavior of a Finite State Machine metamodel.Additionnaly it show how you can use EMF reflexive editor to create FSM models that you load as the user FSM and set its initial state.This sample illustrates the Kermeta EMF tutorial in the documentation.

UniMod defines it’s own methodology for describing
application behavior and delivers set of tools that consists of
Java Finite State Machine Framework and
Eclipse Plug-in. Tools allow designing
application logic with help of set of Class
and Statechart Diagrams, generating finite
state machine XML-description and then launch this
XML-description using Runtime
Framework that is part of Java Finite State
Machine Framework.

MR. ROWE: — if I'm not correct. There is a recognition that SAS was not — and SAS control in terms of functional change management was turned over to GSA, the Gaming Standards Association by IGT a number of years ago, and GSA solicited input from its 70 constituent members to get the latest functionality built into that.
And then IGT has supported that initiative in terms of building a new functionality that's been asked for by industry at large into the versions of SAS that are running today.
It was a recognition by both GSA and IGT that SAS was the DOS equivalent of the operating system, and that there needed to be a new protocol written in simpler language, which is XML, extensible markup leverage, and does come from the IT world of PCs, and both GSA have BOB which is the XMO version of SAS, and IGT has just announced a product they're calling SuperSAS, which is a similar protocol in its structure as well as its language, being XML. So it's great that the 70 people that belong to GSA and IGT have agreed that XML is a good thing. So we're excited about that.
But as we were talking about earlier, the gestation period in the market penetration of these is slow. These things don't get adopted quickly unless there's a great business pull, like ticket-in ticket-out, and there's not a single compelling, catalytic event that's going to cause BOB or SuperSAS to just permeate the entire industry.
If you think about the normal rate of turnover, depreciation over five years, it takes roughly five to seven years to turn the entire slot inventory probably in North America given available capital, given movement in technology, a five-year flat line depression.

The list of frameworks that are offered by the Eclipse development platform would take
several books to enumerate throughly. However, in addition to decorators and job support, let me
list a few that are extremely useful for application development.
JFace provides a wizard framework that makes defining wizards a snap. Swing provides
no such framework.
Eclipse provides a framework for adding markers to any disk-based resource. Markers
include a description and, optionally, locational information within the resource. Again,
Swing provides no such framework.
The Eclipse platform provides a robust preferences framework. Sure we have
java.util.prefs,
but that only takes care of backend storage, not front display and modification of the
values. With Swing, you would be left to code the front-end for user-configurable
preferences yourself.
The Eclipse help system is fully integrated with the plugin architecture of the
platform. Plugins can contribute help to specific topics within the help system.
A full featured status bar is standard issue with Eclipse-based applications. With
Swing, you have to roll your own.

Swing vs. SWT?

ntroductionIf you are about to undertake a major project using SWT, I suggest you think very carefully before doing so. Compared to its obvious competitor Swing, SWT is very lacking in functionality, support and community development experience. Little wonder that there is not a lot of detailed information to be found from people who are using SWT in anger to create serious applications. There is a certain amount of fan-boy stuff, written by people in the first blush of initial enthusiasm, convinced that everything is "cool" and "awesome", but very little from people who had been through a significant implementation effort extending over months or years. The closest one can get to finding "veteran" users was on the eclipse.org.swt newsgroup1. In surveying opinions on SWT from the development community, I have found that people's enthusiasm for SWT is inversely proportional to the amount of experience they have had with it.

About InterMapper Do you ever have network problems but can’t see what’s happening? With InterMapper, you’ll get a graphical view of your routers, servers, workstations and other equipment. You won’t spend weeks or months setting up the maps, either. The auto-discovery and map-arrangement tools let you install and get running in an hour or two.

InterMapper uses pings, SNMP, and Web, SMTP, and dozens of built-in server probes to keep tabs on the critical parts of your network, and let you know when there’s a failure. When InterMapper detects a problem, it sends notifications to one or more responsible individuals. These sounds, emails, pages and text messages can be delayed or repeated to establish escalation schedules.

Oh yes, XServe will be mine.

Desktop Manager is my own pet project to implement a (hopefully) easy to
use virtual desktop manager for OS X. I've put it up here in the hope that
it will be useful to others. Simply run the app and a pager
should appear in the status bar and on the desktop.

Finally I've got back my X11 6 window switcher. Command 1-6 switches between then, and shift-command-arrow moves windows to adjacent desktops.

And the cube rotation transitions between windows looks like those XGL vids from Novell. I am pleased.

Building an entrepreneurial advisory board entails assessing the company's needs, developing a list of candidates whose profiles line up, and then asking them to join, writes the founder of four companies in the human-resources field.


"I've got (fill in the name of the high-profile business
person) on my advisory board," said the emerging
entrepreneur to the group of angel investors. "When was the
last time you saw him?" asked the angel at the table in the
rear of the room. The response? Blank stare.

For the entrepreneur looking to grow a business through
equity financing or the business owner simply looking to
limit the stupid mistakes caused solely by inexperience, an
advisory board may be just the answer, if it's built right.

I have had four businesses, with advisory boards of varying
size and activity levels and value to the company. Like all
entrepreneurs, I did some things right, some things wrong,
and cultivated a lot of experience. Being in the executive
search field – my current company, Talent Management
Group, is a recruiter - I also advise my growth company
clients on strategy and recruiting for their board.
