Geoffrey Fox
Submitted March 18 1996
Abstract
We describe the expected capability of the NII (as an evolution of the
Internet) interns of five broad service areas - collaboration,
multimedia information dissemination, commerce, metacomputing, and
Webtop productivity. We illustrate the demands on these services and
the technology implications by examination of two application
areas - manufacture of complex systems, such as aircraft and crisis
management, command and control.
