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.
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.
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.
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
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)
