I don’t think many people have heard of MOOS (which stands of Mission Oriented Operating Suite); I have been working with it for the past few months as part of my dissertation. And I must admit, the more I play with it, the more impressed I am. It is quite simple and yet powerful.
Whilst MOOS’s roots are in robotics (MRG) and embedded systems, I wonder if I can extend it to use it some of the grid computing scenarios. Maybe implement a pMapReduce or pHadoop? Or perhaps a .NET implementation. Hmm, just need some time. If you need a robust, cross platform communication layer then check out MOOS.

I am thinking of implementing a queue in one of the projects I am working on right now (sorry cannot go into more details until it gets published - hopefully in a few months). Anywyas, this is in C++ which needs to run on Ubuntu and my queueing experience (with C++ or otherwise) is only with MSMQ which is brilliant, but does not help me here as that run only on Windows. I also cannot use something like STL Queue as this will need to run across a number of machines and trying to sync between them... - April 18, 2012 -- Concurrency and CEP (0)
The sooner we all understand the Concurrency ≠ CEP (Complex Event Processing), the better the world will be! CEP is generally used when we implement real-time systems (of course that is not the only area where CEP is used). Real-time does not mean concurrent or for that matter high-performing system. Of course there are correlations, but at the same time they are fundamentally different paradigms.... - March 17, 2012 -- What I am working on today? Optimisation Algorithms (0)
I often get the question – a what am I working on today? Some of the things I can’t discuss in an open forum, but some I can. Those that I can, I thought it was best to share via my blog and do quick small posts on it. Will this become a new series? Well time will tell – depends on how much bandwidth I will have. This weekend, I am researching Optimisation Algorithms – both Deterministic and Probabilistic. Specifically interested in Swarm Intelligence (which are a type of Monte Carlo algorithm)...
