[PDF] Computing and Communications in the Extreme: Research for Crisis Management and Other Applications National Research Council; Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences; Computer Science and Telecommunications Board; and Applications Mathematics Commission on Physical Sciences; Workshop Series on High Performance Computing and Communications; Steering Committee

This book synthesizes the findings of three workshops on research issues in high-performance computing and communications (HPCC). It focuses on the role that computing and communications can play in supporting federal, state, and local emergency management officials who deal with natural and man-made hazards (e.g., toxic spills, terrorist bombings). The volume also identifies specific research challenges for HPCC in meeting unmet technology needs in crisis management and other nationally important application areas, such as manufacturing, health care, digital libraries, and electronic commerce and banking.
