Searching for a module in Alfresco for my research.

Hello.I`m coming to this forum with not usual topic. I`m a post-graduate student and I complete my research work that connected with Markovproductions. To complete my work I should show that my reseach can be applied to real project (of course it doesnt mean that this project will use it in real, ju

I can't think of any obvious uses for this.

However if its going to be useful then it will probably be as a "content transformer" or possibly some sort of utility such as an encryption or byte stream compression. I imagine that this may be useful for some image transformation, but that's a wild guess :!:

Or for a rather contrived example how about a filter that replaces rude words with some sort of less rude word, but the generated word cannot be rude itself. I'm sure you can contrive some regexps that would have unfortunate consequences, where your improved filter would give better results.

First of all, I want to thank you for your atention for this topic. Also thanks, for some new ideas. About filter: I`m not sure that I exactly follow you. Can you give me an example?

Also I think that I can take some advantages on working with files on byte or bits level (so low level working) on disk or in memory. Looking some disk drivers and caches in source code, but can`t find anything suitable. May be you can give advise in this way, working with files? I suppose some kind of file optimization can be suitable, like ordering something inside file or something like this?
Of course I undestand that optimization always better perform on high level in objects and they write in file, but I can for example replace high level actions with another code, just for showing that this can be applied here.

Waiting for your answers, it`s very important for me, suppose I can`t manage with this alone.

Is there any image transformations in Alfresco? For example, documents loaded in system as images and with such documents performs some actions, as getting or replace apart of document as images?

Yes, there's a transformation service that allows you to plug different transformers and a rendition service.

One common feature request is to "watermark" various documents. Its commonly done with PDF documents, but your stuff may be suited to watermarking Images.
