Rome Laboratory-NPAC-Vanguard Collaborative and Interactive Visualization -- Project Overview

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at Kickoff Meeting at NPAC on October 17,1995. Foils prepared October 17,1995

Develop Technologies and demonstrate a set of four applications enhanced by use of innovative Collaborative Interaction and Visualization.
Point the way to Paradigm shifts in

Approach to DoD software development built on open reuseable interfaces and standards as opposed to large reuseable codes
HPCC supported collaboration exhibited in medical and command and control

i.e. Paradigm shift in both applications and software development for the applications

New Software Engineering Methodology linking programming and Web-based Information Systems and Productivity Tools

Demonstrate Applications and Approach in JWID and/or similar activities
