New Programming Models

Programming models enable developers to effectively exploit hardware improvements to solve new and challenging problems. SOA and OO for example exploit 3T architectures which are popular in today's enterprises. Hardware advances now allow massive distributed data centers with 10000s of computers. Individual multi-core chips supporting many CPUs with the potential of 100s in only a few years. Next generation applications demand massive data volumes. Programming has moved beyond the realm of the professional to end users collaborating over the Internet. These technologies capabilities and application mandate new emerging programming models which go beyond the current client-server mainframe models of the past.
