TANGO for Distributed Simulation and Computational Steering
Clearly Java Collaboration Systems are natural implementations of general environments that mix computers and people
Computational Steering -- a simulation is like a participant in a Tango session which has
- simulation engine
- visualization subsystem
- one of more computational scientists
Distributed Modeling and Simulation (from DMSO) with “humans and computers in the loop” already has this type of architecture
NCSA has developed a prototype collaborative visualization system using Tango (2D and 3D images can be shared by participants with viewpoint and choice of rendering replicated)
