This argument is neither here nor there. Do you need CS papers from 2057 today because the problem is not an "implementation detail" today? You are still using "implementation detail" in a vague and poorly defined way.
I'm talking about the process of going from a stack of CS papers to a working, useful program. I'm pointing out that most of the difficulty lies in that process, not in generating the CS papers. The spatial database problem is trivial in implementation. The non-spatial database problem is sufficiently nontrivial in implementation that entire corporate lifespans, man-centuries of effort, get spent on implementing database systems (_not_, by and large, on figuring out the algorithms and data structures). Why do you think the spatial database problem will be so much easier? ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=231415&user_secret=e9e40a7e
