Foil 38 System and User Perspective

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) Seamless Computing Conference ECMWF Reading England -- Sept 17,97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


We present the proposed process of integrating HPCC and Enterprise Computing technologies on 2-dimensional 3x3 chart, exposing the evolution of user and system perspectives on new computing technologies.
On the (vertical) system/complexity axis, we start from PC desktop and we evolve towards distributed and finally HPCC computing.
On the (horizontal) user/simplicity axis, we start from objects and we evolve towards reusable components and finally their visual development and runtime environments.
The first row on our char represents the already established PC technologies exemplified by systems such as Visual C++/J++, VBScript, Borland Delphi, Visual Cafe etc.
The second row corresponds to the emergent Object Web based Enterprise Computing that integrates Java/JavaBeans based component technologies with CORBA based distributed objects.
Finally, the third row represents our proposed HPCC extensions of these technologies in terms of HP-CORBA based HP-Components.
