SAINT 2002 Towards Next Generation January 31, 2002 Ly Sauer Sandia National Laboratories Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy under contract DE-AC 04 -94 AL 85000.

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. 2

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. 3

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. 4

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 5

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) 6
