Applications from applications

At the heart of its data analytics and visualisation installations Aptus Technologies uses the g-speak™ networking technology, libPlasma, developed by Aptus Technologies' partner, Oblong Industries. libPlasma handles data in a very different way, based on a 'proteins' and 'pools' model. Proteins are individual data points extracted from an application which could be local or remote, public or private e.g. records held in database server, cells from laptop spread sheet, a social media feed, live video or mapping from Google. At the point of extraction those proteins are placed in a 'wrapper' containing the data payload itself as well as a series of meta-data including time, date and location stamps. The meta-data creates a common 'language' for all applications, regardless of platform, location or device.
All proteins are sent to a common pool and, because they now have a common language, they can be shared with other applications connected to the pool. That architecture has two important implications. Firstly, it means that the computational power of all connected devices is shared and exploited, and secondly, without altering them in any way, the applications can interact at the user interface level. In effect, the proteins and pools approach allows for the dynamic creation of unique and powerful 'applications from applications'.

Advanced predictive data analysis

Within the pool, Aptus Technologies applies its Test & Learn predictive analytics software to relevant text-based proteins. Test & Learn allows Aptus Technologies' clients to extract much more that the raw data. It is a platform that uses a combination of bespoke algorithms, Bayesian statistics, natural language processing and pattern identification to test and evaluate cause and effect in a live operating environment. The system 'learns' continually and the result is the extraction of an additional level of actionable intelligence that is injected back into the pool.

User defined interaction

All of the proteins within the pool are available singularly or collectively within the user interface, which allows the operator to easily examine and interrogate all of the elements in the same space and time. Relevant assets may be text, graphics, images, audio and video but all are intrinsically linked by the language they share – an interaction with one element produces a linked effect with another. It is an approach that makes it possible to easily visualise the impact of a dynamic, complex and voluminous data environment.

Interface options

The user interface itself can take on a variety of formats. At its simplest level it takes the form of a traditional desktop application providing a 'window' to the pool and in which the appropriate elements are displayed graphically and interrogated according to requirements. To take full advantage of this new approach, Aptus Technologies, again working with Oblong Industries, deploys the g-speak™ spatial operating environment in which individual on-screen elements can be manipulated, interrogated and moved at will between screens to provide a highly visual representation of a complex situation.
