NSF workshop on “Distributed information, computation and process management for scientific and engineering environments”
Nicholas M. Patrikalakis · ACM SIGGROUP Bulletin · 1998
An Invitational Workshop on Distributed Information, Computation, and Process Management for Scientific and Engineering Environments (DICPM 2) was held at the Hyatt Dulles in Hemdon, Virginia, USA, on May 15-16, 1998. The objective of the workshop was to bring together domain scientists involved with the development and utilization of simulations of complex systems and computer scientists working on distributed intelligent repositories and process management. The application of further research efforts along these lines will help to increase the availability, effectiveness, and utilization of large-scale, multidisciplinary distributed scientific and engineering systems. Funding for the workshop was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The 51 participants were drawn from academia, industry, and government, including program managers from NSF, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The final detailed report of the workshop will be available after July 30, 1998, at the workshop web site.
