Dynamic linking of data, hardware and software needed to solve a particular problem:
|
"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
|
General ambitious DoD project is SBA -- Simulation Based Acquisition
|
Crisis Management: Individual simulation engines (classic closely coupled parallel computers) as one (or few) components in a very large commodity grid which links databases, decision makers, anchor desks(experts), first responders (firefighters in the field)
