Foil 48 Too many Frameworks!

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) General Research -- June-December 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


These are too many suggested computing frameworks and probably several are rather controversial as there is no agreed model of the use of Java in Computing
  • In fact, many people believe this is a mistake!
The most promising for early consideration are
1) The Numerical Computing Framework which is essentially use of Java in Computational Science and Engineering
Very important to get agreement on areas that affect JavaVM and the Java Language as these are getting harder to change
  • Expression Evaluation rules, Complex datatypes (overload + operator?), efficient multidimensional arrays,
  • http://www.npac.syr.edu/projects/javaforcse/june21summary.html
2) The Computing Services Framework which we give more detail on.
