which we will discuss later
It had papers from NPAC on Portals for computing and integration of Java with MPI
Highlight was talk by Bill Joy on his thoughts on area

This is as measured by computing cycles -- already Java is "twice as productive" as previous languages -- Joy aims at factor of 10 in a few years
