In various fields of computer science, rapidly growing hardware power, such as high-speed network, high-performance CPU, huge disk capacity, and large memory space, has been fruitfully harnessed. Examples of such usage are large scale data and web mining, grid computing, and multimedia environments. We propose that such rich hardware can also catapult software engineering to the next level.

The lead article in this forum, ‘The challenges and opportunities for mega-infrastructure projects archaeology’, by J. Carver, brought a couple of London incidents to mind, the two separated slightly more than generation, but each pertaining ‘urban’, or rather any ‘mega-stratified’ sites, dense stratification many contexts is result minor mega infrastructure Past.
