Transform Your Ideas Into Reality Within Minutes - SPARKSTER

Ideas are easy. It's the execution of ideas that really separates the sheep from the goats. - Sue Grafton

Almost every enterprise that exists today was borne out of great ideas of individuals’. However, it is surprising to know that most ideas do not make it live due to fear of the unknown.

Often times, enterprises with great ideas find it difficult to conceptualize and execute their ideas. This can be attributed to the fact that the process involved in implementing these ideas is not easy, which thus leaves them with series of unanswered questions such as 'Do I have the required resources', 'How will the solution be deployed and delivered to the end users' etc. The process involved in developing an idea to reality is one that never ends because enterprises need to keep being innovative due to the ever competitive nature of today's business world.

One very important factor that has a direct effect on the successful implementation of an idea is Technology. Technology has greatly affected the way things are being done in this present generation. In fact, it is the backbone for most business organizations, as they rely on technology to develop solutions that will serve their consumers. The ever-changing nature and demand of human have further resulted in technological advancement, with new inventions and solutions churning out yearly.

Due to technological advancements and competitive nature of the business environment, organizations are often poised with always having to meet up with the market demands, so as stay competitive and relevant in the market. Due to this, organizations try to incorporate the new emerging technologies such as AI, IoT, into their existing business model.

However, they are always faced with difficulties whilst trying to achieve this because their existing technology infrastructure is not able seamlessly to integrate with these new technologies. Thus, they are always left with no choice but to employ the services of IT consultants that understand the nature of these new technologies, to work with their internal IT team. Due to the shortage of resources with the requisite skill, they end up paying huge sums of money. Asides the huge sum of money being paid, they also experience difficulties as regards project implementation, because the hired IT consultants will still have to hold several meetings with the internal IT team in order to fully understand the business requirement, which in turn creates a time lag and doesn't guarantee successful implementation of the project.

Due to the dynamic nature of technology, there seem to be a paucity of software developers with the requisite skill needed to meet up with these new technologies. This has a great toll on organizations because they often experience challenges with looking for the resource that can help them integrate these new technologies into their existing business model.

On the other hand, individuals with great ideas are not able to materialize it. This can be attributed to two factors; funding and technical difficulties associated with building the solutions themselves. Truth be told, not everyone has programming skills, and this means an individual that falls into such category will have no option but to pay a programmer to develop solutions.

Having examined and identified this issues affecting most individuals and organizations, Sparkster is proposing a different model that will easily enable enterprises and individuals to materialize their ideas.

It is to this end that Sparkster created the Sparkster platform to empower individuals, start-ups, enterprises with easy to use tools that will enable them to materialize their ideas by developing IT solutions within minutes without any requisite programming or coding skills.

Basically, what might seem as technical jargons to enterprises and individuals, Sparkster simplified it into plain English and made it as easy as ABC. To simply put, Sparkster has created a platform to easily enable people to conceptualize and materialize their ideas.

Sparkster’s objective is to make software development available to virtually almost everyone with no programming skills or willingness to learn it.

HOW IS THIS ACHIEVABLE?

Upon using the Sparkster platform, users will be provided with very easy to use intuitive drag and drop interfaces that will enable them to easily develop top-notch IT solutions. Usage of these features on the platform does not require any prior coding knowledge, as it has been simplified by Sparkster.

Also, enterprises who intend to use the Sparkster platform will be able to easily integrate new technologies such as AI, IoT, and smart contracts into their business model. This is because Sparkster will equip them with the necessary tools required to build top-notch solutions that will make them stay competitive and relevant in the business world.

In order to create an enabling environment where the implementation of software is cheap with low energy consumption for mining activities, and users can easily build decentralized software that will run on cell phones and IoT devices, Sparkster aims to leverage on blockchain technology to develop the Sparkster Decentralization cloud. This is due to the fact that traditional cloud computing is quite expensive and execution of software takes long, thereby consuming more energy. For example, according to research, cloud computing was observed to have consumed about 632 billion kilowatt energy in 2007 alone and this figure is anticipated to grow in the future. This directly translates to the release of more Carbiondioxie emissions into the environment. In addition to this, the cost of maintaining services such as network infrastructure, rack space, support personnel, in the traditionally centralized clouds is quite expensive.

THE SPARKSTER PLATFORM

The Sparkster platform is where ideas are being transformed into reality. It is the domain that provides users with easy to use drag and drop interfaces in simple English so as to enable them to build software.

The platform is highly secured, as it makes use of AES 256-bit encryption and OAUTH 2.0 between every container relation. It is also designed to support growing demand of the IoT and Artificial Intelligence domains.

KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES OF SPARKSTER PLATFORM

• Equips individuals and enterprises with easy to use tools that will enable to build their desired software within few minutes.

• Cost of building and maintaining the software is relatively cheap as compared to the traditional method which takes a longer process and huge cost due to lack of skilled resource.

• Empowers users with the capacity to sell their ideas. i.e. they can publicize what they've built on the Sparkster marketplace in order to make it for others to use, thereby creating a stream of income.

• Compute nodes and Storage nodes are rewarded for their contributions to the network.

• Integrates with other blockchains and digital currencies to make payments seamless

• Utilizes the Stellar Consensus Protocol to reach consensus between respective parties on the network.

THE SPARKSTER DECENTRALIZED CLOUD, ITS COMPONENTS AND HOW IT FUNCTIONS

As it was earlier stated, the Sparkster Decentralized Cloud enables users to easily build and implement decentralized smart software. Due to the much-needed input of miners on the platform, Sparkster created the Sparkster mining app to provide user-generated smart software with a local 'Sparkster Runtime Environment' (SRE).

However, individuals and enterprises who intend to run their applications in the decentralized environment can freely place on a bid on the decentralized exchange by staking some Spark tokens in line with the amount they are ready to pay. Once the bid has been placed, miners can freely request for any amount they intend to collect. Once established, the trade will be executed and the miners would be given the Spark tokens to enable them to utilize their cell phones or desktops for computing executions.

Also, miners can freely use storage nodes. The storage nodes will be saddled with two responsibilities; be in charge of decentralized data persistence and manage the archive of all components that have been designed by users. The compute nodes and storage nodes will not have the capacity to make certain of what is being executed or persisted, because the data of the compute executions and data persistence will be wholly encrypted to ensure privacy

However, miners will be required to stake some amount of SPARK tokens in order to ensure that they deliver efficiently. The transactions produced by their nodes will be ratified by the validation node to ascertain its genuine, and if any illegal conduct is discovered, the staked tokens of the miners will be halted.

COMPONENTS OF THE DECENTRALIZED SMART SOFTWARE

This involves the components that make up a Smart Software. They include flows functions, documents, integrations e.tc.

Flows: The flows consist of a collection of other key components such as functions, documents, AI, integration. Below briefly explains their functions.

Functions: This provides users with the easy to use interface that enables them to define their business logic. It provides components that can be assembled in several combinations to satisfy specific user requirements. Also, it helps to produce an automatic API.

Documents: It serves as a storage entity of data. They help with the persistence, retrieval, updating and deletion of data from a data store on the platform. To simply put, it's the inventory management system of the platform.

Integrations: It enables seamless connections with third-party applications. It provides users with an easy interface that will enable them to consume the web services or API of third-party applications.

Devices: It enables apps built on the platform to seamlessly integrate with physical devices. It comprises of two key concepts namely commands and fields. The commands are how the platform commands devices to take action, while the fields make bidirectional data transfer very easy.

Gateways: The gateway makes available the internet connectivity that will enable all devices to share one internet connection, thereby reducing the cost of deployment. i.e. a set of devices can be connected to one gateway.

Smart contracts: This gives the platform the capability to develop, implement, and settle transactions that have financial significance in the real world. This will enable users to easily build smart contract without any coding skills. The platform currently supports Ethereum smart contracts and IOTA smart transactions.

No Bugs: This ensures that any applications built on the Sparkster platform are bug-free. This is achievable because the programming required to execute a business logic is uniform and consistent.

An added benefit of the Decentralized cloud is the Sharding. In today's world, one of the key concerns of most enterprises is data privacy. This has further limited them from incorporating blockchain into their business model because the typical blockchains usually maintain data in a global state. However, with the Sparkster decentralized cloud, shards are independent of themselves. i.e., a shard certainly not needs to have an awareness of the other shards because the sharding is done on the distributed hash table by client groups. This enables the Sparkster platform to produce many cells, which in turn translates to a high TPS amount.

CONSISTENT HASHING
The platform uses the concept of consistent hashing to hash the identity of a client and obtain a bounded number. This will enable the platform to effortlessly administer a cell to the client and also recognize its cell. It will also enable compute nodes to seamlessly determine the location of a client's data.

AI and IoT
In order to enable seamless use of AI and IoT on the platform, Sparkster has made AI based facial recognition entirely codeless. Subsequently, other forms of Artificial intelligence such as speech recognition, natural language processing etc., will be available on the Sparkster platform

SPARKSTER MARKETPLACE

The Sparkster marketplace is an environment where authors can freely connect with innovators and makers. This means individuals can create applications and components and publicize them on the Sparkster marketplace.

PARTNERSHIP

The Sparkster platform currently has strategic industrial IoT partnerships with ARM and Libelium. It also has native integration with Apple Homekit, Amazon Alexa, Arduino, Raspberry Pi.
