Many computer programmers of artificial intelligent decision matrix software end up specializing in a specific industry or endeavor. Yet as we look at such completed application software we readily see how many potential applications there are. Programmers who design such systems should have their minds wide open and be on the look out for the killer applications that exist. They should ask themselves; “Can this system be modified or used as a template for decision making for other things?”

What sorts of other applications should be looked at? Well for instance such things and industries as education, health care treatments, transportation routing, distribution channel decisions, simplifying component costs in manufacturing, replacing bureaucrats, communication transmission type routing, computer bandwidth routing, infrastructure material decision making, energy distribution channels, battlespace future force strategy, monetary flows, predicting human behavior thru intake and brain waves, predicting types of species a planet might contain, predicting language patterns of other species, choosing of weather control levers to move, etc.

Of course to do this one has to also think in the abstract and understand the industry they are targeting for such applications; applications, which will be intrinsically valuable to those who partake in them and whose careers teeter in their ability to make the right decisions. What level of thought is needed for a quick look see into the industry often varies, yet here are some possible abstract thoughts which could help you in designing and programming the next killer application for decision matrix software;

Monetary, economic, currency and trade flows;

Transportation, distribution, routing and scheduling decisions;

Making Rain, Weather Control and Predicting Wind Patterns;

Or perhaps you need the ultimate challenge?

You see cross pollination is the key to finding the next killer application for those who study the game and design and program the worlds most important software of all; Artificial Intelligent Decision Matrix Software. Think on this.
