Future of SAINT
• Internet is an Evolving Concept– Internet has/will Continue to Evolve as the Technology
Matures and as We Find Other Uses of the Technology• Massively Parallel Computing Platforms • Research Institution’s Communication Vehicle• Mechanism for Connecting the Masses• E-Business• Mobile Computing• Etc.
•SAINT (wrt the “Internet”) Needs to Remain Fluid.
3
Future of SAINT
•“Applications” is a Broad Concept– Webster’s Defines “Application” as
• “A computer program with a user interface.”• “Of or being a computer program designed for a specific
task or use :- Application software for a missile guidance system.”
– As the Internet Usage Broadens, so will the Applications for the Internet
•SAINT (wrt “Applications”) Needs to Maintain a Broad Scope.
4
Future of SAINT - Recommendation
• Each SAINT Program Committee Should Determine:– The Important Research/Technologies that have
Evolved and/or Improved the Internet.
– Select a Set of Application Topics that Realizes the Usage of the Current Internet Evolution.
– Examples of Potential Topics• Distance Learning, Mobile Computing , Distance
Scientific Computing, etc.
5
Evolution of Computer Science
• Simulation-based Analysis (e.g., Weapon Engineering, Nuclear Waste Repositories)
• Computer Science is Used to– Develop Analysis Codes (Programs)
• Physics, Chemistry, Geo-Science, etc.
• Programming Skills, Software Engineering
– Provide Integrated Simulation & Computing Environment• Programming Skills, Software Engineering
• This Combination Applies to Other Disciplines• Will Increase as More Complex Systems are Needed
6
Evolution of CS - Recommendation
• Modify Computer Science Curriculum to Support – Computer Science
• Concentrate More on Developing a “Bag of Tricks” Like Other Engineering Disciplines
– Applied Computer Science• Half of Curriculum Consists of Computer Science
Education• Half of Curriculum Consists of Domain Specific
Education (e.g., Bio-Medical, Physics, Geo-Science)
