Foil 11 The Research Aspects of NTI was Largely Unsuccessful!

From Analysis of Aspects of JISC New Technologies Program -- December 96 Ohio supercomputer Center workshop -- January 24 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Suggest Stringent review of future systems software development projects which tended to be the least successful part of existing NTI programme
One third of the projects reviewed were developing some sort of systems (as opposed to application) software.
These were clearly less successful as a group than training or deployment (of other commercial or university systems) projects.
I didn't list these projects! -- Portable HPF from Southamptoon was successful (being continued at NPAC)
JISC does not have the funding level or research mandate to pursue software development projects and should limit and very carefully review its investment in this area.
