How Will the e-Explosion Affect How We Do Research? Phase 1: The E-DEL+I Proof-of-Concept Exercise
Abstract
This Independent Research and Development (IR&D) project is entitled "How Will the e-Explosion Affect How We Do Research?" for the purposes of this project, "e-explosion" means the proliferation and increased accessibility of computers and computer-based capabilities, such as the Internet and software packages, as well as the facilitation this type of automation has brought to many tasks. In the last decade, the "e-explosion" in the United States has changed nearly every aspect of how tasks and activities in the business, government, and personal worlds are conducted. For example, customers can place orders for everything from clothing to groceries on the Internet, the government accepts proposals electronically, and a large population uses e-mail regularly to communicate with friends and relatives. With the emergence of network communications, a new form of exchanging ideas, opinions, and results has also quietly emerged in the world of mathematical, technological, and scientific research. This project explores how research might be affected by the e-explosion.
