From Comments on Metacomputing EuroTools Panel on Metacomputing -- September 3 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Industry: Hottest General Area in recent corporate enterprise Intranet conference (after electronic commerce) was "application integration" -- linking the "ᡛ" separate major (SAP, PeopleSoft ..) applications (in typical large corporation) into a "grid"
  • linking marketing, sales, production units with multiple databases and some computing
(Industry) Engineering: There is classic multidisciplinary application in engineering design and manufacturing as in NASA's IPG (Information Power Grid) and ISE (Intelligent Synthesis Environment)
DoD Metaproblems
  • Image processing (target recognition) using Khoros
  • Largest opportunity of this type in USA is perhaps SBA -- Simulation Based Acquisition -- SBA is plausibly built on top of DMSO HLA/RTI (CORBA like) commodity standards
