Abstract
In this paper, we will be briefly exploring recent developments in software development concerning human-computer interactions as they increasingly cater to businesses and other types of organizations. More specifically, we will look at software from IBM, the military, Attivio, and Google featuring Passive High Accuracy Geo-location, Content Analysis, and Collaborative Lifecycle Management.
Computers have come a long way from helping people perform simple calculations. They have gone from filling up entire rooms, to occupying desktops, and, now, residing in our pockets in the form of smartphones. We are clearly in an age when computers are becoming more and more ubiquitous. As their size and portability change, so must the methods of input and what we desire as outputs because we have to take environmental contexts into consideration. These changes have lasting ramifications for the way we run our organizations and they continue to develop rapidly. The average layman understands the technological boom in general terms but it is important, in one’s professional development as an information systems professional, to consider more definitively the latest developments in conceptualization, design, and execution of the latest applications. Here we will take a closer look at programs featuring: geolocation, content analytics, and collaborative lifecycle management as some of the most cutting edge developments in the software industry today.
One would be hard-pressed to find an individual in a modernized society who has not utilized passive high accuracy geolocation at one point in time or another. Generally speaking, this usually occurs in the form of a navigation app executed on a smartphone or navigation devices. But innovators continue to push the standards as far as how geolocation through smartphones can enrich users’ experiences and
