U.S. Geological Survey National Computer Technology Meeting: Program and Abstracts, Norfolk, Virginia, May 17-22, 1992
Abstract
The U.S. Geological Survey is in the second year of implementing the Distributed Information System-II (DIS-II) program, which provides state-of-the-art computer technology to meet the Survey's mission of providing the hydrologic information and understanding needed for the optimum use and management of the Nation's water resources. In order to facilitate exchange of information among the many scientists, computer programmers, and systems administrators working in support of the DIS-II program, a series of technical meetings have been held in Denver, Colorado (1984), Hyannis, Massachusetts (1985), Atlanta, Georgia (1987), Phoenix, Arizona (I988), and San Antonio, Texas (1990). The Sixth National Computer Technology (NCTM '92) meeting, which was held in Norfolk, Virginia, in May 1992, focuses primarily on the transition from the current (1992) Distributed Information System-I program, which is a distributed base of minicomputers connected by a wide area network, to DIS-II, which is an expanded distributed system using file-servers and workstations connected by local area networks and the wide area networks.
