[Search-l] Introducing Strobili

[אורן שני]

Mike,

The concern you are raising, about what is known as "cost of engineering" is actually one of the things that the self organization models that are presented by LANL's diversity lab are most suitable to tackle with. The idea is to relay on an adaptive mesh-up process instead of  a-priori analysis and engineering. If to put it in "Strobili terms", customization is done at the specific cone level and in this manner it is broken down to small steps that are done by many people in a way that gradually builds up the knowledge space.

Actually, it is the more specific applications that may need a greater engineering effort, but I think it would still be reasonable and affordable. This is what I meant when I wrote the following:

"While more and more organizations become open to adopt this kind of solutions, the main problem remains with the assimilation of the new working paradigms that they represent. Strobili will enable taking on this challenge in a graduate mesh-up manner, but still, successful assimilation will require that the process will be fostered by specially trained advisers. This actually creates a revenue opportunity because the value for the organization is still big enough to cover for the assimilation expanses."

Regds,

Oren

In your description of the call center example you state, "The meaning of this phenomenon is that
if we could somehow break the service calls handling process into individual steps, and track the
policies which are used in each step, we could learn how effective (and thus recommended) each
policy is, by simply measuring how much it is being used."

It seems that this process would require customization and could not be applied in a simple,
general way.  I hope that I am wrong because there are some very interesting concepts at the link
you referenced:  http://ishi.lanl.gov/symintel.html
