The Plasma Database

The Plasma Database is the world's first application of the Locational-State Reference Base (LSRB), an advanced representation of reality (diversity). LSRB combines applied relativity vectors with object orientated elements and thereby achieving a more realistic representation of any phenomena.

The current development phase is known as PDB2 (Plasma Data Base 2) which is using fundamentally different hardware components from PDB1 offering faster and more precise fusion operations. Fusion operations are the procedures used to combine data elements into objects with properties and methods depending upon the fusion objective. Unlike structured databases or SQL, Plasma can mould data sets according to types of analysis without reference to tables. Plasma was initially designed to provide a more realistic representation and analysis of dynamic (changing) data on biological (living) phenomena. For these types of application it has proven to be extremely effective. Subsequent advances in Locational State Theory (post 1990) demonstrated that the types of relationships observed, in a more explicit fashion, in the case of living organisms also apply to all phenomena.

A challenge facing knowledge engineers has been the difficulty of extracting tacit information & knowledge. Plasma can run fusion operations that isolate tacit variable values by type and quantification. This is a major advance in useful knowledge engineering laying the foundation for targeting performance enhancement actions in any business operation involving human resources. Plasma has a wide application in all verical and horizontal sectors from primary, intermediate, industrial, manufacturing & service activities.

We continue to use the following technologies to support this effort:
  • Microsoft Server operating systems (server side)
  • The DScriptTM language, the most advanced server side ECMAScript extension
  • The Vanguard System - Advanced IDE for server side ECMAScript extension applications development
  • Navatec Voyager - the most advanced Virtual Client
  • STScripts - The Seel-Telesis Scripts - Plasma primitives
All applied research continues to be managed at SEEL-Systems Engineering Economics Lab, Hampshire, Portsmouth, UK. The main testing and pre-release evaluation unit is located at Navatec operations in Seattle, Washington State, USA.
