From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm David HC Soul ... and for those of you old enough to remember no not THAT one ... although I have been known to answer to the name Hutch.

My web site[[1]] (predecessor: [[2]] )covers a number of things of interest to me in my professional life:

Complex Event Processing (CEP) - an emerging way of looking at ways to manage the complexity inherent in our global and enterprise computer and communications systems

Cybernetics - the science of communication and control in animal and machine - especially the design of viable business systems according to Stafford Beer's VSM (viable systems model)

Sensor Networks - as the actual delivery platform for CEP systems designed according to the principles of Viable System Constuction (Cybernetics)

Short Duration Transaction Networks (SDTN) a business my former employer, INETCO Systems Limited, has been in for 20 years

Systemic and/or design errors being passed off as "human error"

Embedded systems - as they are used for the construction of sensor networks etc. for our event networks

Privacy - as all the above have an impact on our personal privacy, precautions and security of confidential and private information is a must

Protection of intellectual property - as the head of a company that builds on both its intellectual property and the skills of our knowledge based workers, we are vitally interested in this field, and very concerned about abuses in the fileld of Patent Law ... in fact, right now this is of more concern to me than the theft of intellectual property.

I also Have A Squidoo Lens that gives pointers to my other Lenses on topics of Cybernetics, Systems Theory, Systems Thinking, Invention and Innovation, etc. It can be found at: [3]
