Research Areas
Cyntelix views the internet as the road to the future by which all traffic will flow.
Not only consumers will use the internet more frequently, but also commercial and government organizations as well as educational institution will make more and better use of the internet in order to reach their objectives. The role of internet as we know it today is already changing, and with further synergy of all our modern day technology the end of change is not in sight yet. Cyntelix is therefore specifically interested in researching the following areas:
- Semantic
Intelligence
- Social
Media
- Serious
Games
Semantic Intelligence
Semantic Intelligence is the ability to gather the necessary information which allows systems to identify, detect and solve semantic gaps on all level of the organization.
The research into Semantic Intelligence at Cyntelix attaches concepts to meanings. Therefore it is able to solve problems and provide real answers instead of lists with false hits or irrelevant information. It relates information as it can conclude the larger context rather than single meanings. Cyntelix Semantic Intelligence automatically clusters information closely together in a semantic web, by using new and patented algorithms developed over recent years. The program learns by analyzing the context and relationship between words, just like humans do. Semantic networks are the basis for a revolution in retrieval of information; at last, documents are not only machine-readable but also machine-understandable.
Social Media
Social mediais media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media uses Internet and web-based technologies to transform broadcast media monologues (one to many) into social media dialogues (many to many). It supports the democratization of knowledge and information, transforming people from content consumers into content producers.
Social media is well known to most people, but is still a relative young technology, which will grow and expand over time. Cyntelix Research Team has been developing and supporting standard syndication solutions to quickly repackage existing content and services and syndicate them across multiple social networks and platforms. These solutions for social networking are based on cross-platform social media campaign services and make it easy to package, distribute, and analyze digital content and services from across the internet to create personalized experiences. Social media technology is not only available for the internet, but also for mobile devices and TV based social media is following. Furthermore, leading organizations in the commercial market are also using such social services for large-scale distribution of digital content across the internet. The widget / social media distribution and aggregation platform significantly reduces the costs, errors and time to distribute content, and usage of analysis. Industry analysts and strategic partners have identified the technology (widgets) as fundamental for the next generation of content distribution.
Cyntelix is focusing on the vision of componentizing content and processes, thus allowing mass personalization by users of their system environments. It has particular relevance to web 2.0 as it empowers users by giving them the tools to create their own window on the internet. The research deals with all stages of the widget life cycle: creation, storage, deployment and monitoring. Cyntelix also researches new devices such as TV for the deployment of social media technology.
Serious Games
A serious game is a game designed for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment. The "serious" adjective is generally appended to refer to products used by industries like defense, education, scientific exploration, health care, emergency management, city planning, engineering, religion, and politics.
The internet is a fully integrated part of daily life in organizations as well as educational institutions. It also offers a variety of tools such as wikis, RSS feeds and blogs, as well as the possibility for internet learning. However, combine all technologies and include serious games, interactivity, dialogue and tracking tools, and you have a whole new learning dimension. This will create a transforming, adaptive, responsive and engaging environment which can be used for all types of education: from certified education for high skilled professionals to further developing knowledge workers, to university courses and additional high school or even elementary school training. Cyntelix recognizes the need for such an all-round tool and has co-developed the project which incorporates all the different required aspects as well as tracking tools to follow personal progress.
