Smart (Enough) Systems

Is anyone else here reading "Smart (Enough) Systems" by James Taylor and Neil Raden?

I am about half-way through, and it is a 'good read'; anyone want to discuss it here?

Smart Enough Systems --> Data and Analytics

I am through the chapter on Data and Analytics, a very useful overview for me on the analytics side. It is a specialty that the book rightly describes as requiring a skilled practitioner, the Analytical Modeler. As described, the analytical model-building process reminds me somewhat of the statistical modeling of Six Sigma process improvement, perhaps Black Belts in that discipline could be a source for needed analytical modelers.

Next up: Business Rules.
