Foil 110 Computational Grid and the Object Web

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) General Research -- June-December 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Larry Smarr and NCSA Collaboration have stressed analogy of deployment of computer/communication technology with impact that electrical and transportation grids had
  • I.e. they enabled revolutions in society
  • What is relative role of High-end and Commodity end in Grid?
2 The transportation system was built using lessons from and feed up/down from Sports cars, Cadillacs, Model T's, Ford Escorts etc.
3 Computational Grid will be shaped by and shape all 5 classes of applications on previous foil
  • Everybody would perhaps agree on general statement but perhaps disagree on importance of it
4 A highish end computational grid will in some sense (to be disagreed on) be influenced by and influence the "Object Web" which is here defined as "mass-market"/business IntraNet (low to low) use of Internet/distributed Information Systems
