Dual-Use Issues for HPCC Defense Applications

This presentation was central part of a presentation given by Geoffrey Fox to the Institute of Defense Analysis on Halloween Day 1994. It was backed up by World Wide Web resources listed on next foil and some older foils collected together in another foil set (labelled IDA1 -- "Background"). The purpose of the presentation was to indicate how valuable Department of Defense applications of HPCC could be built in dual-use fashion as companions to the civilian enterprise. We also discussed areas where the civilian driving forces were not sufficient to advance use of HPCC fast enough. These included Manufacturing and other simulation activities.
