Softwares Ideas

[former_member181966]

All,

Letu2019s see how far we can think, lets brain storm on software ideas. I have been thinking it is cool to have HCM Payroll and Time schema builder software. It should be GUI based, in which we can drag and drop elements and it automatically write schemas and rules for you. I have worked almost 1.5 years in TM and believe me writing a complex schema is not fun.

I also wrote a utility where you define your program name, variant and email addresses in customize table. It looks at the report kick off the program per variant, save it in PDF and email out. ( thinking to convert it in WDA)

Come on tell me what is going on in your mind , what kind of SAP utility/software you think is a good add one .

Good quote on mind

Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind.u201D

Have fun!

I have an idea I have been looking into and would like some feed back on it's feasibility.

I want to create a "thinking" computer based on the human mind.

Here is my idea:

First I need between 20-50 retired small business servers

I would choose the best one for inquiry routing and the logic determination that would also route inquiries.

The main server would decide which "sub-server" the question would be routed too based on the type of question, the "mood" of the main server and other factors that would be more or less endless.

The "mood" of the main server would be decided by the recent history of questions and whether the question and or answers are of a positive or negative nature. The "nature" of the questions would also be determined by the main server for routing purposes.

Once a question given to the main serve has been analyzed a sub-server would be selected to answer the question.

The sub-servers is were the real human likeness would accure. Each subserver would have it's own logic for answering questions based on the different parts of the human brain.

I would use servers instead of PC's because of the huge amount of data that would need to be referenced during an inquiry.

I think the actual software to analize the question would be the hardest to build but with it you could also build web-search applications that would bankrupt yahoo and google.

That's my pet project, almost had the servers a few years ago but they got recycled before I could work out a deal for them.

From a security perspective that is generically not a good design - even for the nicest of computers..

All hard wired in the same room w/no external interfaces, at least until it learns to behave...wouldn't want it taking over the world as a pass time

I am afraid I don´t understand the idea. Why do you need those servers? You could program these pets as agents living in a single desktop application. If the capacity is not enough for them to "answer" then the algorithm needs some "minor" improvements. You can definitely start your pet program without any servers.

In fact the problem is not with the performance of the machine, but with the programmer´s one. Do you know the dungeon Keeper game where all kinds of creature live in a dungeon? I spend months programming a "clone". Was pretty fun to "live" with those "animals". And it didn´t have anything with the performace, only my time to help them "live better".

Each server would be loaded with a HUGE amount of data so independently each would have a data base capable of pulling info on any topic (basically encyclopedias x 1000). Only the answers would be unique from each server based on the "differences" programmed into each server.

Basically recreating the same pet many times but with different characteristics, it would have to be a very smart pet.

Sort of a joke to be honest but if I won the lottery (didn't need to work) and moved to the mountains (had a lot of free time alone) I might seriously work on the main engine.

Never played Dungeon Keeper, but I ran a bot (autoit program) on Diablo 2 for a couple years. That was nice, like Chrismass every day when I got home.

My point is: how can you tell if you have never tried? Why don´t you try a simple example and then scale it up? I could re-write my tiny dungeon "thing" to be a second "second life". But had to start with a tiny toy to check the idea feasibility first. At least that is how I think the software progress is done. Create a prototype man, show the result and you can find a sponsor or a colleague or anything else useful for the project.
