Foil 11 The Research Aspects of NTI was Largely Unsuccessful!

From Analysis of Aspects of JISC New Technologies Program -- December 96 Ohio supercomputer Center workshop -- January 24 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Suggest Stringent review of future systems software development projects which tended to be the least successful part of existing NTI programme
2 One third of the projects reviewed were developing some sort of systems (as opposed to application) software.
3 These were clearly less successful as a group than training or deployment (of other commercial or university systems) projects.
4 I didn't list these projects! -- Portable HPF from Southamptoon was successful (being continued at NPAC)
5 JISC does not have the funding level or research mandate to pursue software development projects and should limit and very carefully review its investment in this area.
