Abstract

The author describes the Sequoia 2000 research program at the University of California. In this project, refinements in computing-specifically involving storage, networking, file systems, extensible database management, and visualization-will be applied to specific global change applications on the planet Earth. Sequoia 2000 is organized around an interconnected collection of hardware, file systems, DBMS (database management system), networking, visualization, and repository projects. The author discusses each in turn.<>
