| | TITAN: A Next-Generation Infrastructure for Integrating Computing and Communication |
 | | We envision this system as comprising a core of computing resources, including huge processing power, memory storage, file storage, and tertiary storage, accessible through innovative parallel languages, libraries, and tools and connected to a shell of multimedia capabilities, including continuous media transmission to the desktop and wireless communication throughout the building. |
 | | It implements a combination of almost realistic-looking pseudo-physical behavior and idealized goal-oriented properties, which disambiguate the mapping of the 2D cursor motion on the display screen into an appropriate object motion in the 3D virtual world and determine valid and desirable final locations for the objects to be placed. |
 | | In addition, there is a mantle of powerful graphics capabilities that is intimately connected to the core, but more similar in function to the media shell. |
