>>The NSF is engaged in a bold experiment called Partnerships for Advanced
>>Computing Infrastructure.  It funds two Leading Edge Centers at SDSC and
>>NCSA together with virtual teams of leading researchers drawn from dozens
>>of universities.  Using high speed networks, such as the vBNS or Internet2
>>Abilene, the PACI program's mission is to work with computer scientists and
>>application drivers to construct a persistant national-scale working
>>prototype of the next century's information infrastructure.  I will
>>describe what has emerged during the first two years at one of the PACI
>>partnerships in terms of novel trends we can already see.  These include a
>>radical shift in supercomputing architecture to large numbers of commodity
>>processors running open source HPC software, combining many distinct
>>sources of computing into a single virtual machine room accessed through a
>>web browser, supporting group interactions with IP multicast in an Access
>>Grid, and bringing commercial technologies from the ".com" sector back to
>>the researchers in the form of Science Portals.  These trends are already
>>having major impact on the practice of biology, astrophysics, materials,
>>and environmental sciences as well as in the nature of scientific
>>instruments and remote sensors.  A live audience participation with remote
>>sites using the Access Grid will be part of the talk.

>>>Dear Larry,
>>>
>>>I would like to firm up arrangements for your seminar in our IT series on
>>>Thursday October 21, 1999.
>>>
>>>Your scheduled appearance has raised some interesting proposals.
>>>
>>>1)	We agree to a suggestion of Janet Thot-Thompson that you give the
>>>talk at your Access Center.  Both sides could send out announcement (need
>>>abstract and Title)
>>>*	The seminar is usually held from 12:00 -2:00 PM. and we would
>>>arrange for lunch. 
>>>				(By the way, yesterday we held our seminar
>>>with Steve Wallach and Gary Smaby at the Economic Strategy Institute in DC.
>>>)
>>>	
>>>
>>>2)	After mentioning your visit to Marv Langston's Bold Ideas Group,
>>>they expressed an interest to meet with you at the Access Center.  However,
>>>because that group meets at 4:00 PM, that means they would like a separate
>>>meeting with you to provide an IT overview and tour of center, from 4:00 PM
>>>- 5:30 PM.
>>>		The group will be reconvening from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM at the
>>>Potomac Institute
>>>
>>>3)	In the course of these discussions, Marv's staffer, Ellen Law, asked
>>>if I could help recruit you as a speaker for the Executive Seminar Series
>>>that the DoD has at its annual CIO Conference. Speakers include Art Money
>>>(Marv's boss) and Mike Saylor, CEO Micro Strategy, Mike Swetnam (President
>>>Potomac Institute) will speak on vulnerabilities and security, etc. That
>>>conference will take place at Wintergreen in Western VA (2hrs 10 minutes
>>>from Dulles) on October 18. 
>>>
>>>Please let me know about your availability for all the above. I am very
much
>>>looking forward to our visit and meetings.
>>>
>>>
>>>Thanks,
>>>
>>>Mel
