SWOMA -- work with ARL to link their effort to national activity Hybrid model performance XML Standards Collaboration SVG SOMS Hand-held Security XML and Java UI for linkage Chandra application but ARL has most application ideas while Jerry Clarke is framework implementer ------------------------------------- Thank you very much for sharing your ideas with us and in particular showing us your remarkable technology arena that you have started Below I list some ideas that came to my head on that day. I am sorry not to reply earlier -- I have been on a rather extreme travel schedule. Build system that supports your technology wonderland so that: a) Collaborative with ability to modify what sent to each screen So different screens can be controlled by a single program with screen dependent filters. This is implemented using collaboration technology with a set of "users" -- each screen is a user b) Controlled by hand-held interface Each screen (or more precisely set of screens as in a) ) can be controlled by hand-held device or by desktop. This is enabled by using collaboration systems (such as mine) which allow either desktop or hand-held devices c) Incorporate some sort of virtual reality (VR) Allow screens in "collaboration" to be VR enabled as in Immersadesk d) Include audio-video conferencing Allow conferencing to be used within system either from large rooms or desktop environments. Make these interoperate Make secure so can support conferencing and shared displays within different security domains. (classified, your Adelphi arena, ARL, the world) e) In community areas support wirelss PDA and laptop clients. Incorporate into collaborative sessions so you can keep audience alert with quizzes and related interactivity (secure Instant Messenger etc.) f) Support seminars i.e. collaboration across ARL Automatic from above g) Cameras in technology corridor picking up individuals as they walk The conferencing and shared displays should include technology corridor h) Cameras in fixed observation points The conferencing and shared displays should include public areas such as ones near front entrance In modern parlance, a) through h) build a "peer to peer network" i) More powerful job status displays We should deploy computer portal technology to allow scientists to use technology area for science -- get better job sub mission, status and visualization
