It is a deterministic rule-based system designed for extensibility.
Its breathless publicity material conveys the flavour: "All you really need to win is this: Extremely fast implementation of astonishingly innovative systems built on breakthrough strategies supported by an infrastructure designed for extensibility and iteration.
The code is designed for extensibility and flexibility, so it is aimed first and foremost as an MD research tool, in which new models and test cases can be developed and tested rapidly.
Although, to date, the focus has been limited to sequence annotation and restricted to bacterial genomes, AGeS has been designed for easy extensibility and future incorporation of different genome annotation and analysis methods whenever they become mature and available.
Many, like Loggly, Splunk and Sumo Logic with open APIs have fostered an ecosystem of add-on modules designed for specific applications like Exchange, ServiceNow or VMware.This same extensibility could accommodate the unique characteristics and subtleties of any distributed, composite application with modules to analyze their performance, anomalies and failures.
Though Lync has been designed for the enterprise with those needs in mind, including things like administration with Active Directory, archiving and compliance tools, integration with Microsoft Office, extensibility with public APIs, and more, being able to reach any of Skype's now 300 million active monthly users dramatically broadens the service's reach going forward.
SlideRocket has been designed with extensibility and portability in mind as well.
On the hardware front, the UBR-1 requires no calibration at start-up, has a workspace large enough for the robot to reach the ground as well as countertops, and was designed with extensibility in mind so that users can easily develop custom applications.
In summary, the PathCase-SB architecture and database are designed with extensibility in mind, i.e., the design takes into consideration possible future growth and changes.
Extensibility to new data types and functionality as well as intelligently designed interfaces for integration with other systems are indispensable for a system in a continuously changing environment.
Therefore, the data processing aspect of the pipeline has been designed with customisation and extensibility in mind.
