InfoMall USA - The Virtual Corporation for HPCC Software and Systems
Development : Opportunities to use HPCC in Industry and to create an
Industry making HPCC products.
This is the basis of a presentation given many times with various
selections by Geoffrey Fox in 1994. The talk surveys HPCC, lessons from
an Industry survey of HPCC opportunities , NPAC and InfoMall. InfoMall's
role as high technology support for businesses is presented. Particular
examples of possible HPCC real world applications are given. These
include Health Care, education, Economic modelling, simulation in the
aerospace industry (through the industrial consortium MADIC in
Multidisciplinary Analysis and Design), and electrical power transmission
simulation (with Niagra Mohawk). The discussion of NYNET -- the new ATM
network -- introduces the discussion of business opportunities opened by
the emerging NII/GII (National/Global Information Infrastructure).
Several InfoVision examples are discussed for Information Video Imagery
and Simulation on demand. NPAC demonstrations and capabilities for
InfoVision are presented.
