An IT Research and Development center

[Schilling, Richard]

I have recently been given cause to research the feasibility of opening up
an advanced technology research center, and I'm wondering if any of you or
your organizations would be interested in using one if it were available.

The goal of the center would be to host a place where organizations,
researchers, and students could go to get their hands on systems that might
not be otherwise available.  This would include:

     virtual reality
     simulators, static and full-motion
     beowulf clusters
     geographic information systems

The list is not finalized, but one aim would be to open the center to as
many disciplines as possible.  The center would also aim to host
conferences, and provide educational programs, such as an after school
technology program for youths.

So far, it looks like if the participants are willing to share the costs, it
could be an affordable resource.

Thanks for considering  . . .
