MS4
Problem Solving Environments (PSE) for Computational Science

10:30 AM-12:30 PM
New England

The speakers in this minisymposium will review the current state of the problem solving environment field and attempt to make predictions for the future. Some of the speakers will address the principal components and paradigms for building PSEs like software reuse, virtual user interfaces, ?collaborating? problem solving, netcentric computing, computational intelligence and related technologies such as recommender systems and portals, and PSE software architecture.
