Foil 16 Some Tactical Opportunities of Object Web Technologies - I

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) Seamless Computing Conference ECMWF Reading England -- Sept 17,97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


So this is partly use of Object Web Software to build metacomputing systems of any architecture
Perhaps VRML or Java3D are important for scientific visualization
Web (including Java applets) front-ends provide convenient customizable interoperable user interfaces to HPCC facilities
Perhaps the public key security and digital signature infrastructure being developed for electronic commerce, could enable more powerful approaches to secure HPCC systems
Perhaps Java will become a common scientific programming language and so effort now devoted to Fortran and C++ tools needs to be extended or shifted to Java
