We describe some of forces and issues which we suggest will lead to Java emerging as the dominant language for scientific and engineering computation. |
One Force is the new complex architectures expected for future high performance (petaflop) computers |
This implies that other aspects of the Web will become important and in particular Web Servers will be used as a network(web) of computer servers which will allow powerful integration of data and compute services as a "server-server" infrastructure

We discuss both intrinsic reasons why
