Motivation: Need to Solve a Problem - Take a Break From Collaborating


Server of Ready Solutions is a kind of Secondary Information Management System and is organised according to the concept of Atomised Information Management System where page name represent knowledge node or index. Please feel free to create as many pages as required to maintain cross-linking of nodes adequate to your own preferences in indexing.

Example: If the title of Fluorescence Microscopy Applications page found not representing clearly the knowledge base on fluorescent dyes, labels and stains and their application to various samples, feel free to create another page with the title like "Stains Database" if that represents the content better from your point of view. You might still like to put the link to Fluorescence Microscopy Applications page to avoid creating multiple nodes with similar content.

For searching for a specific index or knowledge node, start typing in the "Search Pages and Files" bar found at upper right corner of every page and select an entry from the pop-up list of existing pages. Please feel free to have a missing page added or cross-referenced under the title you tried to find for the quickest access next time.


Server of Ready Solutions follows the idea of accumulating an atomised information at one unified portal for quicker access of a person or a group of users at up to the Global scale. A solution can be quicker access by starting typing relevant keywords at "Search this workspace" bar at the upper right corner of any page of MIAWiki.

 

Goal: Increase of efficiency of Technical Work of a person, institution or in global scale by minimising time on research and development.

 

Following Goedel’s Incompleteness Theorem none of the complex systems and activities can be adequately classified with just one set of rules. Technical work is one of the examples of validity of this theorem. Technical work contains elements of:

  • Research* where adequate knowledge is the result
  • Development* where adequate solution (technological process or equipment) is the result
  • Routine* resulting in actual product or service

In real life, all of these three components exist in work of a researcher, a developer, a technician and in a number of another specialties (research can be a part of development, and routine be a part of research). The problem therefore can be generalised, especially when research is not followed by development of clearly described and reproducible sequence of technological routines and results therefore in more research and development activities of other staff at stage of production.

A set of R&D and technical skills is unevenly spread through the staff of an institution. Management of Research and Development at its diversity of changing topics may become a challenging task. Optimisation of use of personnel with different skills may face a need of choice between sharing tasks (leading to more staff involved), creating specialised working groups, educating a technical person to be able to perform (part of) research tasks and being able to create new knowledge, or train a researcher for a particular technique, whatever comes more feasible and efficient.

Due to scientific and technological development, the areas of human activities are expanding too leading to further increase in knowledge produced. Any kind of technical work can be considered sustainable only under condition of life-long learning at:

  • minimising resources (including time) on research
  • minimising resources (including time) on development
  • purchasing or development of new methods and techniques, whatever is more feasible in making routines more efficient.

However, research and development is not required when a solution is known or easily achievable. Experiment as an R&D tool is usually required only when a solution cannot be found in a less expensive way within reasonable period of time. A bank (or a server in the case of IT product) of ready solutions is an essential tool not only for sustainable work but for sustainable life too. SRS is a kind of technological tool that makes research and development as predictable as production is. Principles of technological control become applicable to research and development in the same way it was implemented for development of software products.

*Followed definitions from OneLook, research is not only “a systematic investigation ...” but also any “search for knowledge”, answer on the questions “What?” and “How?”. Development is an “act of improving ...” of anything leading to fulfilment of the goal, including managerial activity. Routine is “an unvarying or habitual method of procedure” required for the actual production.

What it does:

  • Provides required information in real time** will mental and physical efforts minimised (SRS is visited more than 14,000 times since 21.10.2008 from around the Globe and shows exponential growth).
  • Provides publishing in real time.
  • Accumulates and stores information and data as long as required (currently >350 pages).
  • Provides selective control over access to restricted information.
  • Provides collaboration opportunities where:
    • Information is shared and edited as soon as required and therefore
    • Information is always up-to-date
    • Expenses on structuring, classification and safe storage of information are minimised

**Real time in cybernetics is the time frame at which response from the components of system does not affect the required performance of system in whole. Real time for mental activity of a human is a matter of seconds (“3 seconds warning before turning” at driving).

Advantages of this method over other methods:

  • Simple: half an hour workshop for computer literate people (MS Office and Internet)
  • Real-time retrieval, publishing, sharing and control over information
  • Scalable: can be used for organising information in personal/ company/ international scale
  • Unified Portal of Information (currently for Microscopy and Image Analysis), saves efforts on remembering where certain bits of information are being stored
  • Experts Database. Versions of pages come with (contact) information of authors
  • Safe storage due to keeping all of the versions of edited pages
  • Safe collaboration due to controlled access to pages, folders and files
  • Global access, capabilities of remote work and real-time collaboration
  • Capabilities of Atomisation of Information according to personal priorities (ways of thinking)
  • Information can be arranged and cross-linked in multiple ways, according to multiple criteria
  • Secondary Information Management capabilities reduce time on remembering bits of information in their relation to each other
  • Interactive: knowledge nodes/ FAQs/ pages are listed as quick as keywords being typed
  • Workspace and SRS can be made peer reviewed with approved pages digitally signed that may become a new standard for scientific publishing, quicker, less difficult, absolutely IP traceable due to the versioning of pages, always properly structured and up-to-date
  • The full set of capabilities above is ready to use and require no further development

Applications relevant to the goal of these studies:

e Commerce Customers are prepared to pay for the knowledge that guarantees the result.

Business Management Suite (Booking system; Monitoring of availability of personnel; Listing of current equipment; Manuals on equipment; Information and data collection, analysis and Decision Support);

Open Knowledge Bases (currently developed Applications of Fluorescence Dyes and Stains; Application of Image Analysis Functions; Microscopy Equipment available through NZ);

Interactive Learning Environment, Interactive FAQs (Knowledge Nodes creation, cross-referencing and retrieval; Inquiry-Based Learning; Collaborative Learning; Scenario-Based Learning; Full-text searching);

Repository of Teaching Materials (Arbitrary Structured Storage of Web pages and Files; Retrieval and Publishing in Real Time; Multi-media courses and presentations; Inclusion of external on-line (multi-media) sources);

Interactive Collaborative Workspace (Events Sharing; Files/Web pages Sharing and Versioning; Screen Sharing, real time co-editing of pages; Teleconferencing);

Advanced CMS (Content Management System) (WYSIWYC Editing in MS Word style; User Level Access; Page/Folder Level Access; Pages Appearance Control);

Unified Knowledge Portal (for Problem Solving).

 

While no modifications required to use the Workspace and SRS at its present state,

higher performance will be shown when following is developed:

Function

Modification

Interactive Learning Environment, Interactive FAQs

Statistics on queries would allow lecturers modify content and structure of papers according to missing knowledge or current interests of students; encourage students to write essays on missing topics in either individual or collaborative mode; create missing FAQs and ready solutions.

High volume content management

Implementation of second generation of SRS would require no Internet access for most of queries that could lead to even quicker delivery of required information, quicker problem solving, increase in durability of system and true multi-user (multi-opinion) support.

Experts Database

Can be implemented within existing system or as a separate module with list of experts sorted by field of expertise, location, citation index, etc.
