Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at ARL Mid Year Review on Feb 18-19 98. Foils prepared Feb 21 98
Outside Index Summary of Material

Multidisciplinary teams

Emphasize Work between centers -- MSRC's and DC's

e.g. metacomputing between DC's and MSRC's

Not enough to help one user -- be a leader

Mix of broad-based support and national leaders

Team CHSSI and across centers

Need a constituency in DoD

Go to center person; ARL will link to warfighter

Accountability - must be able to say why doing work

Cross-MSRC PET Vision is framework

11 efforts (6 CTA's 5 general areas)

Become more top down

T and E; Automatic Target Evaluation; Weapons and Warfighter Systems Design

Wants "Nimrod" like capability to control multiple runs with optimization

Pentagon does not relate to CTA's but rather things like ATR, T & E

Publish reports in ARL TR series

Seminars (suggest outside people) at ARL

Go to modernization office

2 page year 3 statement of work plus boiler plate

Why can't we use DIS on Origin 2000

Optimized and Unoptimized
maybe DIS version does not scale? But Origin is faster!
What is CMS platform now. Single or distributed?

HPC for FMS Talk at ITEA
