From computational science to Internetics: Integration of science with computer science

Abstract

We describe how our world dominated by science and scientists has been changed and will be revolutionized by technologies moving with internet time. Computers have always been well-used tools but in the beginning only the science counted and little credit or significance was attached to any computing activities associated with scientific research. Some 20 years ago, this started to change and the area of computational science gathered support with the NSF supercomputer centers playing a critical role. However, this vision has stalled over the last 5 years with information technology increasing in importance. The Holy Grail of computational science — scalable parallel computing — is still important but is just one supporting component of the internet revolution. We discuss the emergence of the field of Internetics — bridging computer science and all application areas whether simulation or information based. Internetics is an exciting field, which seems complete and rich enough to be a lasting interdisciplinary area.
