 Thanks for the contacts. I was unable to make the NSF/DoE workshop on large
data sets and did not get a chance to meet Reagan Moore directly.  I am writing
to you because I respect your judgement and advice, and, frankly, I find myself
in a deplorable situation.  For reasons probably more political than anything else,
I find that my position here is being terminated; yes, it can be well argued that I
have been unproductive on the PET side of the house, but I have been directed
in the strongest of ways to neglect that aspect and focus on producing scientific
visualization products.  I have done that to an exemplary degree, but the war for my
talents continue, and I am just so much collateral damage.  I had thought as of
March that I had breathing room until February; in March, I learned that my air
supply would run out in August, although I was promised a lifeline, and now I find
that August is tenuous. Day by day.  I would like not to talk about what was and
what could have been and focus on what might happen. Could you find the time

So the two individuals we discussed were
Roy Williams at CACR Caltech. I think I sent you a draft document with him as co-author
on XML for scientific data

Reagan Moore (who is one of key people at SDSC or NPACI) is their main technology leader
He is developing support for data intensive computing and seemed to me to be doing
very good work in area of distributed objects for large scale data

Contact info and a resource for others in area is workshop (that I went to last year)
at http://www.cacr.caltech.edu/isda/
My report on this is at http://www.npac.syr.edu/users/bernhold/trip-reports/9803-gcf-isda.html
