Whoa, that stuff is really dry. However, here is my seat-of-the-pants take on it.
A quick synopsis. You want a system that will allow the creation of new forecasting models on the fly. This system will happen if all of the existing model builders conform to your protocols. These protocols will allow machines to dynamically create new models. These newly created models, because of their dynamic nature, will become extremely effective. You describe all of the necessary infrastructure that you think is required in order to do this. If I understand correctly, then let's take a real-world example. I am a weather modeler. My model has all of these inputs like previous weather measurements, forecasted El Nino pattern, ozone-layer levels, chaos-theory butterfly flappings, and whatever hell else the weather modelers use. I then do some weighting of the input factors, some other mathematical legerdemain, a couple of Hail Mary's and boom, I spit out a weather forecast according to my model. I now change jobs and I am a winter boots modeler for Nike. My model here uses GDP forecast, previous sales trends, and the weather forecast. Cripes, my problem is now much greater than the weather forecaster's. But, holy cow, if only I could auto-magically get all of his computations then imagine how much easier my life would be? Well, perhaps not. Not because I have anything against weather forecasters, it's the damn economists with their GDP forecasts that concern me. They have never been right. At least the weather guys get it right half the time. Paul McTeigue _______________________________________ Paul McTeigue Icefan Systemhouse Inc.
