Similar scenarios will occur in other areas: we will see large numbers of radiological images generated in hospitals and immense product and customer databases as the Internet and e-commerce continue to expand.1 Exploring useful information from such data will require efficient parallel algorithms running on high-performance computing systems with powerful parallel I/O capabilities. Without such systems and techniques, invaluable data and information will remain undiscovered. We also need to quantify the time it takes to retrieve pertinent information, for time-critical applications such as credit card fraud detection.2–9 Terms you should know

The authors propose that an organic workflow-process technology will power the evolution of information system architectures. The authors outline three likely stages of architectural evolution in the context of a networked economy and discuss critical gaps in the current technology with respect to their envisioned future.

Evolving standards enable workflow management systems to automate and coordinate work done by independently developed applications across enterprises and over the Internet. Modern workflow can interact with such technology as OOP, business object models, APIs, XML, and HTTP. The paper discusses the standards for workflow management produced by the Workflow Management Coalition.

Establishing transparent workflow distribution across heterogeneous workflow-management systems is very difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. The author expands on this in a case study and suggests various approaches. The process for building a Boeing 747 serves as the case study.

In multimedia and hypermedia systems, the importance of mobile links to a stationary infrastructure and of mobile data terminals is increasing. Current advances in hardware technology for hand-held terminals (for example, display size and resolution, processing capabilities, and power consumption) let multimedia systems be implemented in mobile environments. Nevertheless, to fully reach that goal while meeting the end user's expectations will require consideration of the specific limitations and usage scenarios of mobile environments. Therefore, we need to know which multimedia components are appropriate for mobile applications and how these components are related to the usage scenarios. The author considers how developing effective mobile multimedia systems involves not only the inclusion of more and more media types but also consideration for the different human perception abilities.

The authors propose two strategies for dynamic load balancing: one takes network delay into account to avoid errors in scheduling jobs; the other also delays job execution when the system is fully used. These strategies are general and can augment existing algorithms.
