Experimental Computational Cartography
-
Interface between the theoreticians and the computer
-
Design then implement algorithms and data structures
-
efficiently
-
on the largest (not toy sized!) datasets
-
then
-
observe results and
-
suggest new research problems
-
use general purpose data structures and algorithms,
-
benefit from larger community effort
-
like using Open Source Software instead of proprietary packages.
-
Notable special-purpose failures: Lisp machines, floating point processors,
database engines, special graphics engines, and most parallel machines.
