With the m-ld software component, information can be shared to where it's used—on mobiles, in browsers, in microservices, anywhere.
About
m-ld is a software component for secure live information sharing among collaborating actors, such as app users or autonomous robots. This component reduces the cost and complexity of coding live information sharing, allowing the faster delivery of apps, information services and control systems.
Key Benefits
When embedded in a distributed software application, the component is able to provide decentralised, reliable sharing of live information. This means that the application can access and manipulate the information in real-time, being constantly aware of changes by other actors. The benefits of incorporating live information sharing to a software system include: - Enabling live collaboration, review and feedback, especially, but not exclusively, for remote collaborators. This can lead to faster decision-making and reduced costs of errors. - Reduced need for in-person collaboration and therefore travel time and carbon emissions. - Improved resiliency to infrastructure outages and attacks, through low-cost replication of key data, which is automatically synchronised when connectivity is available.
Applications
- A cloud or enterprise information management or design tool; to add a real-time editing feature (like Google docs, but for a specialist app). - A distributed software platform; to enable, simplify or add resilience to the distribution of configuration or master data among participating compute nodes. - A cloud robotics software platform; to simplify the sharing of state data like local world models and task status.
