Crisis Management and Command and Control or more generally distributed (tactical) real-time decision support -- decision makers and gatherers of information |
Multidisciplinary Applications including Collaborative design -- teams of up to 10,000 engineers |
Collaborative Visualization/Data Analysis and Computational Steering -- one or more analysts, simulations, sensors and other devices including visualization |
Consulting and shared software/systems development |
In each case Collaboration involves support for dynamic interactive shared distributed objects and one needs both synchronous (as in Tango/Habanero) and asynchronous (basic Web/Lotus Notes/Email) support |
The shared objects are both client and server side |
