Some ideas for contestants:

  • IMAP - while InterSystems IRIS supports SMTP/POP3 protocols native support for IMAP would be an interesting addition. Discussion.
  • Swagger BO - Swagger is a leading REST API specification format. Automatically generate Business Operation from swagger specification
  • BS for binary protocols - similar to Swagger above but for binary protocols. Write-up is here.

One new idea for contestants:

MLOperation. Currently, PythonGateway provides low-level PythonOperation aimed at expert users who write Python code themselves. The idea of MLOperation is to build a high-level Interoperability adapter targeted at a broader userbase. Essentially your adapter provides generalized Fit/Predict/Optimize methods and users need to provide the data, target model type, and hyper parameter values. This closes the gap between the hands-off approach of the IntegratedML and low-level approach of the PythonGateway. The work is described in this issue.

Developers!

Only 3 days left before the start of the 7th InterSystems online programming contest! 

You will have 2 weeks (Nov 2-15) to upload your solutions to Open Exchange and 1 week (Nov 15-22) to compete for the main prizes.

So, join our competition and win! 💪🏼
