Hottest General Area in 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

This is similar to classic multidisciplinary application in engineering design and manufacturing as in NASA Power Grid
|
|
Image processing as in DoD MSTAR program using Khoros
|
|
Largest opportunity of this type is perhaps SBA -- Simulation Based Acquisition -- which was major theme in recent ITEA (International Test and Evaluation) conference at ARL Aberdeen
|
|
SBA is plausibly built on top of DMSO HLA/RTI (CORBA like) commodity standards

MAPINT 98 Conference at ASC Dayton August 25-27 will discuss
