SequenceL for the Information Power Grid

This paper presents the major language issues facing the development of the Information Power Grid. The paper presents examples of the types of parallelisms desired in the Grid and gives Java solutions to those problems. The Java solutions contain artifacts of the design of parallel solutions. The same problems are recast in the high level language SequenceL, in which parallelisms are implied. The SequenceL approach seems to be a good candidate for a Grid Oriented Language, in that the abstraction relieves the problem solver of much of the burden normally required in development of parallel problem solutions.
