note to Sean:
will  it be difficult to complete pagemaker formatting of individual demo
pages in time for copying, this is concern to Diane.  If this is the case, is
it possible to create cover pages and title page for each section of handout
(video on demand, sim on demand... according to your buttons), then insert
"mosaic pages" that Paul has (with edits to title..... CNN Video on Demand 
rather than Video on Demand)

Kim to work with Marek Salim on this
technology table
must add detail

Kim: 
InfoVision talk, must update
CNN Video on Demand
information system--Reflex commercial application
other overheads???????
produce table of technologies overhead


Paul or Nancy, are either of you in a position to write up this material
for tornado page?

must write up Tornado page
-based on project with Univ Oklahoma Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms to develop parallel codes for their tornado simulation model
-MPP tornado model gives real-time forecast capability to storm center, use 
parallel model to develop forecast and warning capability
- a high-performance model also also more detail to be built into the model, 
for example modelers can include detailed effects of ice and rain in the tornado microphysics package, or influence of terrain and type of land cover
- storm forecasting evolving toward "ensemble" forecasting where multiple
runs of a prediction model used to produce probabilistic forecasts
- we include the tornado model in InfoVision demonstrations as and example
of simulation on demand
-  we are developing innovative uses of tornado simulation model: teaming with Syracuse, Columbia University educators and NYNEX to deliver simulation over NYNET gigabit network to schools, use as Grand Challenge
simulation in education where students teachers investigate laws of physics,  manipulate model settings, and see behavior of tornado; building tornado 
simulation into video game environment, three-dimensional graphics, realism in environment, create sophisticated games that have educational
value or "edutainment"
- as a simulation on demand demonstration, tornado simulation illustrates
use of InfoVision server delivering computational resources over network,
computational resources required to support Grand Challege science
simulation, this analogous to delivering video streams from a video server,
or text, image information from an InfoVision dataserver
- relevant technologies
high-performance distributed computing, high-performance networks,
graphical user interface, high-performance compilers message passing libraries
scientific visualization (AVS)
