Java Grande Process: Approach and Activities
We have had several conferences with 50---- attendees
- Syracuse December 96
- Las Vegas June 97
- Palo Alto February 98
- Southampton (Europe) September 98
- Next one just before JavaOne next year (June 99)
Topics of conference papers:
- Applications; algorithms; benchmarking; compilers; Java-based programming tools; parallel computing (tightly coupled) and high performance distributed computing
“Spun off” Java Grande forum to promote needed community standards and activities.
Must be proactive because Grande computer market is perhaps 1% of total computing market -- not Sun’s highest priority
