Title
Scaleability and immortality
Abstract
James Nicholas Gray's understanding and experimentation gave him a special perspective. From 1995 his commitment was building indefinitely scalable tools by working on really hard data-intensive application problems with other scientific disciplines. His attention to research for both understanding and use made him a unique researcher. Jim pioneered a new kind of 21st century science based on data analytics, requiring computer scientists to collaborate as an equal with scientists in other fields. Gray was an advocate and principal supporter of the MyLifeBits project aimed at extending our memory, memex. The by-product includes digital immortality that we herein speculate and explore.
