2707 - Summary/Objective
2708 -
270801 - Follow up ref SDS 4 0000, ref SDS 3 0000.
270802 -
270803 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary transmitting the final version of
270804 - the submission made to the Aerospace company Architecture Committee, ref DRT 1
270805 - 8M7M, that reflects the edits to explain SDS that were developed on
270806 - 040416. ref SDS 4 0001  The main part of the submission is entered
270807 - under a heading for...
270809 -        ..
270810 -       Situation
270812 -        ..
270813 -       SDS is productivity software for integrating personal and
270814 -       organizational memory of daily working information from
270815 -       meetings, calls and documents, enabling a management system of
270816 -       Communication Metrics. See POIMS. ref OF 1 0001
270817 -
270818 -           Aerospace company's contract to evaluate SDS fits the definition
270819 -           submitted to the Architecture Committee, reported on 040317.
270820 -           ref SDS 2 PQ6P
270822 -                ..
270823 -               [On 040618 DIP features in the ACE intranet computer
270824 -               system calls for technology to support collaboration and
270825 -               productivity, which fits the scope of SDS and Aerospace company's
270826 -               evaluation contract. ref SDS 6 D39M
270828 -        ..
270829 -       Communication Metrics complements traditional cost and schedule
270830 -       control by using SDS to access organizational memory for quickly
270831 -       verifying accuracy of discussions and correspondence (e.g.,
270832 -       email), based on context and alignment with original sources in
270833 -       prior meetings, calls, contracts, specifications, published
270834 -       policy and procedure, and other forms of authority.
270836 -        ..
270837 -       SDS accomplishes this by a very tight integration of tools, and
270838 -       the ability to link any part of any record to any part of any
270839 -       other record, and providing much of that linkage automatically.
270840 -       The synergy that results from combining features that are
270841 -       otherwise separate makes it possible to organize material in
270842 -       many ways, and makes it far easier to locate information than is
270843 -       the case with conventional tools.
270845 -        ..
270846 -       SDS uses a Diary of prior work performed to plan follow-up work
270847 -       on a daily basis. This method of using a previous record as a
270848 -       starting point for scheduled activity, and automatically linking
270849 -       discussion elements in the new record back to the previous one,
270850 -       develops a chronology of events that aids information retrieval.
270852 -        ..
270853 -       SDS provides a Subject Index that is an advance over the simple
270854 -       indexing available in other tools. Each subject can be phrased
270855 -       in any desired number of ways to make it easy to find again.
270856 -       Every record, and defined segments within records can be
270857 -       assigned many subjects, and these records and record segments
270858 -       can be found by searching the Subject Index.
270860 -        ..
270861 -       Thus, SDS integrates chronology and organic structure.  While
270862 -       many technologies have diary or journaling support, including
270863 -       Microsoft Outlook, SDS leverages the power of flexible structure
270864 -       by integrating both chronology and context for understanding
270865 -       cause and effect, which is the underlying engine of knowledge
270866 -       derived from human experience -- see POIMS. ref OF 1 1X6G
270868 -        ..
270869 -       SDS provides a rich palette of new tools for routine
270870 -       construction of contextual chronologies, and SDS can assemble
270871 -       the history of events based on context, almost instantly, so
270872 -       that finding relevant information is fast and easy, leading to a
270873 -       meaningful concept of personal and organizational memory.  SDS
270874 -       support for context management integrated with linking on the
270875 -       Internet, and/or a secure company intranet, therefore, aids
270876 -       collaboration by delivering anytime, anywhere intelligence.
270878 -        ..
270879 -       SDS is a sophisticated program that requires training both in
270880 -       the program operation and in the management and information
270881 -       practices that the program is designed to support.
270883 -        ..
270884 -       SDS, used by a trained person, has proven to be of immense value
270885 -       in situations where alignment of actions with commitments and
270886 -       prior decisions is vital, e.g. procurement, contracts,
270887 -       engineering, etc.
270889 -        ..
270890 -       Target
270892 -        ..
270893 -       The target would be a Dell Windows 2000 machine that would be on the Aerospace company
270894 -       LAN. A year from now to be able to use this software on Aerospace company equipment as
270895 -       a standard software.
270897 -        ..
270898 -       Date Needed:  03/01/2005
270900 -        ..
270901 -       Proposal
270903 -        ..
270904 -       To evaluate this software against other similiar software that
270905 -       is available as  to provide the best software with this full
270906 -       capability.  Write a product standard ASB for the best software
270907 -       selected.
270909 -  ..
270910 - Looks like for some reason Morris' ideas on interoperability submitted
270911 - on 040416, ref SDS 4 M84O, were not included in the final explanation.
270912 - They may have run out of time.
270914 -  ..
270915 - Received ref DRT 2 0002 from Gary that includes two attached letters
270916 - dealing with the Archiecture Committee review of SDS and saying the
270917 - vote will occur OA 040507, ref DRT 2 N67G, and that the matter will be
270918 - considered by the committee on 040512. ref DRT 2 N67G
270920 -  ..
270921 - Should get feedback on SDS review by architecture committee sometime
270922 - after 040512.
270923 -
270924 -     [On 040513 Architecture Committee approved SDS for further review
270925 -     by specialized board. ref SDS 5 0001
270927 -  ..
270928 - There is also notice from Gil in a letter to Gary that Gary has been
270929 - made a member of the Aerospace company Architecture Committee, and so Gil and
270930 - Gary will be voting on the SDS matter. ref DRT 2 0002

370709 -
370710 - Gil initially asks Gary...
370711 -
370712 -        On the ethics response, did they same anything about when you
370713 -        are ready to procure it?  They are making you a voiting member.
370714 -        Maybe one of the other caveats would work. Your thoughts. I hit
370715 -        accept by the way. ref DRT 2 0002
370717 -  ..
370718 - Gary responds....
370720 -         ..
370721 -    1.  The ethics response (attached) basically says that until there
370722 -        is a situation where I might actually profit (Aerospace company actually
370723 -        considers paying for something) there is no problem.
370724 -        ref DRT 2 0001
370726 -         ..
370727 -    2.  If Aerospace company were to consider actual purchase(s), I cannot, in any
370728 -        way, be involved in the purchase decision. ref DRT 2 HN6H
370730 -         ..
370731 -    3.  I don't *think* that the Architecture process constitutes a
370732 -        problem. ref DRT 2 QN6L
370734 -         ..
370735 -    4.  Didn't you tell me that the Architecture Committee person you
370736 -        spoke with said that there is not problem with my involvement
370737 -        with SDS so far as the Architecture process is involved?
