1)One can "just" use Object Web technologies as a software infrastructure for building parallel, distributed or sequential computing environments which can have a very different architecture from the Web
-
e.g. write software in Java
-
e.g. adopt interfaces/standards such as JDBC, VRML, Java3D

2)Harness the power of the Web as a computer -- use up the idle cycles on the WebTV's in every home -- typically a Web Client based system
-
We will not discuss this here

3)One can view the Object Web as a distributed information system with modest performance and build a metacomputing system with the Web architecture
-
we "only" need to enhance the Object Web to get high performance
-
several ways of doing this -- common feature is that they all inherit rich web capabilities -- typically Web or Object Server based
-
By inheriting Object Web architecture, naturally track evolving and improving commodity technology base
