In our last regular SNS issue, I discussed the power of flows in nature and mathematics and introduced the concept and systems redesign we are calling “Flow Computing,” with a series of examples indicating its importance for all technology firms and customers working with Big Data.

Having described the forces driving systems architectures toward flow concepts in general, and toward this new Flow Computing architecture specifically, it seems only fair to ask in this week’s discussion whether there are compelling applications, theoretical foundations, and new discoveries that will support such a large-scale paradigm switch.

The answer is, Of course there are.
