Summary of Foilsets in HPDC-95 Tutorial

This full day tutorial was presented by Geoffrey Fox, Wojtek Furmanski, Gang Cheng, Marek Podgorny and several students from NPAC at Syracuse University. It covered key enabling NII (World Wide Web) technologies and their application both to large scale distributed computing and distance education. The talk was presented electronically and included six classes of material.

Note on presentation: below you will find each foilset used represented by a one line cryptic summary. This has three links -- first to a file containing all abstracts for these foilsets; second to a file containing abstracts and list of titles of foils. Third "blue" link (title of foilset in one liner) leads you to particular online foilset.

1)Application talk on distance education for both university level and K-12 education.

virtuniv95: Technologies and Issues for Virtual University

2)Vision talk on the future of the World Wide Web with the emergence of the environment ("operating system") WebWindows

webvisionsept95: Fall 95 Vision for Evolution of World Wide Web Technology

3)Theme talk on distributed metacomputing and software engineering built in terms of World Wide Web Technologies.

This Webwork project is a joint effort between Boston University, Cooperating Systems and NPAC. It represents one new approach to HPDC -- High Performance Distributed Computing.

4)A section that was skipped in tutorial on base World Wide Web Technologies

These modules were first given spring 1995 in a course CPS600 (now called CPS616) which is the core course in information track of Syracuse University's Computational Science Program.

6)A set of Demonstrations was given covering Video servers, WebTools, Integration of the database with the Web as well as Java VRML and WebWork Prototypes

Note we had an ATM link to NPAC during conference but this was not operational during tutorial. We shipped all the resources necessary for stand alone demonstration.
