Title:		Ubiquitious Access to HPC Resources

Organization: 	Florida State University

Lead:		Geoffrey Fox

Objective:

Given the work going on in "computing portals" world (activities
supported by DoD, DOE, NSF, industry, etc.), it makes sense to
envision the connectivity to HPC resources as services offered by a
portal, and the handheld simply as a device with a particular set of
capabilities that can link with the portal server. In this way the
services don't have to be implemented separately for every different
display device that comes along, and the portal can act as a flexible
gateway to accommodate the different capabilities of various display
devices. This project will demonstrate connectivity between HPC job
and status information and handheld devices.

Accomplishments:

We are adapting the work last year linking Tango to Handheld/Desktop
environments to the newer architecture involving a personal server. We
expect to have a good demonstration of this by the end of the
summer. This work is currently using the WAP standard.  We have need
to adress the server side but are first concentrating on an end to end
system prototype. Then we will add in the special HPCC functionality

Plans:

Expect to have an early demonstration ready by end of next quarter

Problems:

None
