My Current Obsession

As always an opportunity presents itself in the form of the Global LBS Challenge
I am really upbeat about the prospects of pulling of a victory considering last years winner. The timing is perfect.
We are nearing our release dates, OCT 2nd and Nov 1st on XMS. I hope we could come up with a killer Location based application which would ignite the whole Location based Industry.

Wishful thinking, but who cares? I would still love the journey.
Its not everyday you get to do something which ignites your passion.
This is the perfect opportunity to blend product ideas, design, software architecture, technology, and HCI to brew an application. This might not make sense, but that how excited i am about it that i let my inner voice do the talking.

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

I would Love to integrateJINI, JXTA , OSGI and the tuple spaces found in Javaspaces to come up with this product.Peer to Peer , Location ,Plug and play. Does it mean anything? Not yet but going forward i am sure it would culminate into something COOL!!!
A though about using this for regulating Traffic is taking shape . Sounds promising but needs some research
Cloudscape would make a good database. Since its lightweight and can be run updated. Need to start looking into the Location based services of ESRI
January 2005 deadline seems to be reasonable time to put our ideas together and make this happen.
I will be blogging my progress through this Epic Journey
