Foil 16 7. Flexible RIB Development Strategy

From Master Set of Foils for 1996 Session of CPS615 NHSE Review Argonne -- September 30 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski


1 So in reviewing future directions for RIB we find a strategy involving the combination of two approaches
2 Firstly we need to update technology implementation of RIB while we add requested functionality's
  • Add a database back end
  • However probably should use modern and cheaper JDBC solution and not MOREplus.
  • Remember using JDBC does Not require use of client side Java code as in 3 tier model Java code is on Server
  • Signed applets should make client use of Java less problematic
3 This RIB technology evolution will be performed in context of an architecture that incorporates future changes coming from commercial software industry and from growing use of distributed object (CORBA) technology.
4 Note OSTP is about to start a new "Advanced Distributed Learning" ADL initiative based on distributed objects
  • Should be synergistic with educational resource part of NHSE
