| We discuss the Global Information Infrastructure (GII) as a set of several million clients (Set-Top boxes/PC's) linked by ATM networks to perhaps some ten thousand supercomputer class HPCC servers. This Infrastructure will support a set of base information services: |
| InfoVision or Information(text), Video, Imagery, and Simulation ON Demand. It is reasonably clear what we need to implement this and we describe how base HPCC technologies can be used in InfoVision. |
| InfoVision services can be used in defense (called Command and Control historically), Society and Business. We discuss our virtual corporation InfoMall and its early application testbeds with special attention to the Living Textbook where 6 schools are connected by high speed ATM networks to HPCC servers at NPAC. Here InfoVision services under development include video news clips browsed by a text database, images, HPCC environmental simulations and a 3D terrain navigation system with multimedia data arranged over New York State. Another basic service is that of a both automatic and teacher controlled cache of information from the internet. |
