Jack,
I think all those challenges can be mitigated. With capabilities like Presto security challenges in classified environments are mitigated because of strong governance of who can touch what services and because of tight connection to enterprise security mechanisms and directories.
Endeca, from what I understand, usually does not have scaling problems, but unfortunately the government sometimes has program management problems. The right design and right leadership is always required, with every technology.
That is a very good point about the linking/viz apps market. It is very wide. I think I'll try to pull together an article on that.
Cheers,
Bob

Just a few thoughts.
Mashups are cool, but they present a lot of security problems in classified environments.
Endeca, which I saw earlier, continued to have scaling problems in A-Space.
Linking/viz apps market is wide and hard to narrow down--Visual Analytics, I2, Saffron, Dulles Research, Palantir, Centrifuge, Penlink, Starlight, thick client vs. server-based. Anybody have recommendations?

Bob - just checked out the new site - VERY nice. Looks very clean, very professional. Well done.
Now you just have to keep writing :-)

Thanks Bob for that list. Those all sound right on the mark. Very good point about green losing some cachet. As for economic recovery, oh boy I hope it is soon. I wonder who to trust on that issue. So many experts missed predicting the train wreck. Some predicted it, but who knows if those folks were smart or lucky?

A friend of mine sent me his composite of technology predictions he's found:
More utility / cloud computing;
ongoing refinement and expanded use of virtualization;
more SaaS;
ever-thinner desktops;
more “netbooks;”
even smarter smartphones;
continued focus on green, but with some loss of cachet;
more focus on data management;
the ongoing maturation of SOA;
more IT industry consolidation;
more touch screens;
improved search (with a semantic focus); and
economic recovery that begins around October.

Dave, thanks for the note. I agree with you about the pressures of falling budgets. Mashups and open source are looking smarter and smarter. So is saving energy.

Mashups/open source should be more prevalent especially with the anticipated funding reductions (less GWOT money).
As the new IC metadata tagging/sharing standards are rolled out, any technology that can assist in that will be a big plus.
