>>>The NSF is engaged in a bold experiment called Partnerships for Advanced

>>>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.
