These exist from both a computer science and user point of view
|
Grande applications are very complex but field is small (1% or so of total computing world)
-
It is a much larger fraction of academic computation
|
The field needs Java as it provides a wonderful distributed computing software infrastructure on which to build applications and tools
-
e.g. RMI JINI etc can enable metacomputing?
-
Users can enjoy Java program development environment
|
|
Not clear that Java needs the field and so Grande field needs to be humble and persuasive in its requests
|
|
Currently the Grande field is intrigued but skeptical due to poor Java performance
|
|
Java community doing battle in commercially critical areas
|
|
Need to bring communities together
