Integration of Information Technology and Computational Science in Education and Research

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at Computer Science Seminar on August 27 1999. Foils prepared September 13 1999

Computing technology is changing rapidly with powerful Web and distributed object technology layered on pervasive communication links, enabling the construction of large scale systems. Industry moving at breakneck speed is driving much innovation.
  • There are several implications, some of which have broader significance than just changing research and course contents. We describe some of these including:
New curriculum for computer science centered on Internetics and its implications for science communication and teaching.
Changing definitions of interdisciplinary programs (such as computational science) and implications for traditional fields such as physics, which see more competition for best students
New approaches to distance education which could change the roles of educational institutions and personnel in areas from K-12 through lifelong learning.
Relevance of distance education to curriculum changing with "Internet Time".
New approaches to computing environments which will enable more productivity and hence accelerate integration of computation into many fields.
