Foil 20 Why is Dual-Use Critical for National Challenges?

From HPCC Defense Applications IDA Presentation -- October 31,1994. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

The National Challengies have been correctly identified as the the major HPCC opportunity and there is a
Reasonable list of targeted Government areas BUT
The Entertainment and Consumer Information Industry will set the standards and drive the technology
One must set up collaborations with:
  • Companies such as Time-Warner, Disney, Nintendo and Microsoft
  • Fields such as Journalism and the Video Game Software Community
Health Care and Electronic Commerce may be large enough areas to sustain their own enterprise but some such as
Military Command and Control and Education are not
However the GII (Global Information Infrastructure) will force common standards and one canNOT go it alone in any area!
So Dual-use or Multi-use development of modular HPCC technologies, services and applications essential
