Searching for revolution in structural computing

The structural computing paradigm has been described as one that holds significant promise and potential for the developers of both applications and infrastructure services. At this stage in its development, however, structural computing can be viewed mainly as an evolutionary progression of research in the hypermedia field rather than as the revolutionary force it was anticipated to be. The field of structural computing is still a new one though. It may still possess revolutionary potential that has so far gone untapped. In order for its revolutionary potential to be realized, however, research is needed that focuses on the fundamental ideas that define and distinguish the structural computing field. Only through an examination and exploration of its essential features can the revolutionary potential of structural computing be assessed.
