About Distributed Knowledge Systems, Knowledge-Driven Architecture, Jeff Zhuk, Patent Applications in USPTO.gov DB Collaborative Engineering and global knowledge marketplace. JavaOne International conference, March, 2002 Jeff Zhuk, Sessions: TS-1366 ( Emerging technologies), BOF-1929 (Web Services) "Distributed life in JXTA knowledge networks", The annual International JavaOne conference, June 28-July 1, 2004, Session BOF-1117, Jeff Zhuk Integration-Ready Architecture and Design by Cambridge University Press, Jeff Zhuk. The book focuses on XML, Java, .NET, Wireless, Speech, and Distributed Knowledge Technologies, and introduces a new development paradigm with integrated software and knowledge engineering.

Brief History:
Distributed Knowledge Frameworks have been designed and patented in 1997-2000 by Jeff Zhuk.
Collaborative Engineering and "Integration-Ready" approach to system design are key elements that help IT move from re-creation to integration mode. From the current business model "more services in one application is a key solution" to the new one "integrate and customize distributed services on demand". From ironing all possibilities in a hard-core application code to a flexible and extensible set of business rules created on the spot to govern existing (not only on the Web!) services.
In 1997-2001 Jeff's team has developed prototypes at JavaSchool.com and IPServe.com and participated in a number of production deployments based on this technology. The original team included A. Krevenya, V. Rondel, S. Ambler, M. Merkulovich, Y. Yedidovich, S. Minukhin, M. Romashova, etc.
IPServe Inc. was established in 1999 (Ed Goldberg, CEO) to market products and services.

IPServe collaborative services were used by distributed development teams: Wellbid, Timebridge Technologies, IQLabs, etc., European scientific communities like Fifth Dimension, China network and training companies (Pelican, Inc.), educational and consulting branches of ITS, Inc., project teams at UOP and DeVry University, and other companies in the US and overseas.

The wireless WAP/WML service (developed with Steve Harris participation) was demonstrated by Nokia at the first Wireless Conference in Las Vegas, January, 2000.

IQLabs transferred IPServe technologies to create IQ Mobility, e-provisioning product, 2000-2001.

The architecture and design patterns were presented by Jeff Zhuk at Java One and Wireless One International conferences.

Key elements:
1. Distributed Knowledge technologies offer unified approach to create, modify, and share processes, services, and multiple document types like email messages, files, linked articles, address book and schedule records, database objects, remote control scenarios, etc...
Distributed Knowledge technologies provide a framework for global knowledge and service container and marketplace.
2. All services are developed and integrated in a manner that allows customise or add new services run-time without changing core product.
3. Wired and wireless clients can access rich content and business services (of corporate applications) via presentation factories - software modules that understand differences between workstation and wireless phone, Palm, or other personal digital assistance (PDA) devices.
4. Partner integration framework paves the road for seemless integration to other products and services.
5. Final precision of secure privileged based access to system elements, data evaluation and notification features encourage and help sharing.
6. Centralized (Web-based) solutions allow users armed with HTML or WML browsers collaborate over corporate firewalls and access a rich set of data and services, like Help Desk or Reference On-Line. You can conduct Remote Administration, build GIS, Visual Database, and etc. You need no software to download and you do not have to be a DBA to use the services.
7. Distributed Knowledge Networks solution targets the areas of growing complexity of information and processing services. When we try to make sense from disparate scientific data, evaluate security risks, or work in educational environment, requirements for knowledge sharing and integration might go far beyond capacities offered by mainstream centralized computing. Distributed Knowledge Technologies help us overcome these limitations.
