From Applications and Programming Models for Computational Grids PPoPP Panel on Computational Grids -- May 5 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Seamless (one at a time) access to multiple heterogeneous supercomputers -- what users want today
"Parameter Studies" (pleasingly parallel)
PC, Workstation, Origin 2000/SP2 clusters ("Grid in a box" -- parallel computing built from distributed components)
Federated Computing such as Distributed Modeling and Simulation with demands for flexible linkage of largish components but loose not tight coupling
TeleMedicine and Distance Education (not high performance?)
