Intelligent Desktop?"? is an application the world has been waiting for, even if it doesn’t know it yet. It will be a personal information management desktop application that runs in the background tracking what the user is doing by tracking which objects (applications, documents, files, folders, web sites, emails, contacts, etc) are opened and focused. Based upon the active object, the graphical user interface will present the user with the ability to quickly access objects related to the active object. For example, if a user opens an Outlook email regarding a quarterly budget, the user interface will dynamically but unobtrusively display icons for opening the budget meeting appointment, the budget spreadsheet, and related emails/contacts. The user will be able to quickly open a related document on demand by clicking on the icon. The graphical user interface will also provide the ability to modify these groupings by using drag and drop features. Future versions will also have the ability to automatically open related objects and place the windows in their desired positions. We are currently developing the learning algorithms. What you will do is code two separate parts--one for the capturing and the other for displaying (user input and user output)??"and produce an alpha version. We will then link the two parts by adding the learning algorithms ourselves. If all goes according to plan, we will then likely develop a beta with more features. What we expect from you is an efficient tracker and a cleverly designed, attractive user interface. We believe that if we work together brilliantly, something as cool as winter during an ice age will come out the other end. NOTE: We have already designed the program and simply need someone to code it. We will probably build in the learning algorithms in ourselves.

## Deliverables

1)Advice on design 2)Prototype: The first deliverable will be a prototype demonstrating the core functionality of tracking the object types and displaying and interacting with the GUI. This will include the executable program along with the source code. 3) Alpha Version: The second deliverable will be the refined version of this prototype that will be downloadable and packaged with an automated installation and uninstallation script. This deliverable will also include commented source code. There should be, on average, 1 line of comment for every 5 lines of code. 3) must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):

a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.

b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.

3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).
