Scenarios: Other examples: Supply-chain-management: Manufacturer is building a product and needs various components and supplies. Many suppliers, with different constraints, prices, deadlines. There are also subassembly firms. Assembing can be done here, at the customer site, at the subassemblers site. I build computer systems. Ron has a paper about supply-chain-management. Retail-chain: Store gets fed by warehouse which gets fed by factory. Example: customer wants special pair of blue-jeans, and goes to specialised e-store. This store acts as megaprogrammer and finds out how to get this jeans fabricated and orders it. Good papers could be gotten from Avron Barr, has website WWW.ALDO.COM. Bio-informatics: genomics services ERP: from simplex... Numerical analysis: e.g. we want to invert a matrix, there are several algorithms (different costs....) ==> we patch together a series of algorithms or e.g. ordinary differential equation Massive libraries are available. Prof Joe Olliger did megaprogramming stuff in this field. Mail him, if he has still students working in the composition of numerical analysis. Library at PARC, or NAG (at ORNL.GOV), or Cern-libraries. Simulation: raw data gets through various programs..... -- Dorothea Beringer Stanford University beringer@db.stanford.edu http://www-db.stanford.edu/people/beringer.html --
