Foil 4 Recommendation: Develop Architectures and Frameworks for PSE's - II

From Recommendations for Research in Problem Solving Environments Arpa PI Meeting -- 14 February 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

Focus on the "glue" for building PSE's as well as the "bricks" -- a paradigm shift
This glue implies interfaces and data exchange formats for numerical and symbolic modules needed as PSE components
Glue includes/implies the software (engineering) approach for developing PSE's
The defined architecture must support identified features of PSE's and their development
  • What are the critical features of scientific PSE's that distinguish them from Quicken (a well-known financial PSE) and say a command and control system which could include say a weather simulation as a sub-PSE
Glueing diverse pieces requires second recommendation of crossdisciplinary interactions
