Description
Summary:Summary form only given. In this talk we discuss our experience making state of the art software technologies including vector functional programming, collaborative analytics and visualization consumable by demanding customers we call Thinkers. The emerging discipline of Computational Science brings Thinkers and Software Experts together to create environments for Thinkers. Thinkers are well educated domain and problem focused computationally literate end users. On a day by day basis thinkers live in Big Data to collaboratively solve their business and technical challenges. Thinkers reject being passive misunderstood requirements changing Agile customers. They have no use for end user tools for dummies. They question the cost and complexity of accepted software engineering and IT approaches. Lacking better alternatives they often resort to hodge-podge collections of scripts and arcane tools. Thinkers need a capability to Think-Compute-See and to actively participate in problem solutions.
