ISSAC Will Analyze
Large-Scale IT Systems
As large-scale IT systems, such as
the World Wide Web, become increasingly complicated, scientists
and engineers are working on new ways to organize them.
A team of Rensselaer researchers has developed "ISSAC,"
the Intelligent System for Speculative and Active Code,
which will allow bulky programs and networks to run faster
and more efficiently with fewer problems. More
