Foil 4 More Federated Applications

From Applications and Programming Models for Computational Grids PPoPP Panel on Computational Grids -- May 5 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


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)
