- Performance of Java runtime (the virtual machine VM) with lots of threads, I/O, memory use
- Parallel Computing interfaces including Java MPI binding
- Development of universal (Condor, Globus, Legion UNICORE WebSubmit ..) Java interface to computing resources -- enables seamless computing (easier than metacomputing!)
- Special seamless computing (DATORR/Computing Portal) meetings at Argonne October 98 and Sandia February 99
