Thus our major initial PET strategy is based on "new ways of doing things" using web technologies (especially Java and VRML 2.0) with linkage to Corba and datbases. These have natural applicability to distributed virtual environments and "human/machine in the loop" distributed simulations. |
One simple early use of HPCC is to host parallel versions of large scale embedded simulations such as a weather simulation which is part of some FMS models. |
ARL reports to NPAC that there is interest in large scale parallel databases. |
There is some synergy between IMT and FMS which should be explored. |
Training in advanced Web and database technologies at ARL could be useful. |
PET-wide software repositories are interesting (but postponed until next year) |
