Foil 33 SPW and Portals

From Tango Interactive as Technology for Education: Current State and Futures ERC Seminar at Misissippi State University -- September 9 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


There is a lot of interest in portals these days
We build Web-based computing environments which are portals to Supercomputers and Web-based education or portals to a virtual university
Merrill Lynch predicts that Enterprise Information portal market will be $15B by 2002
Portals are built (by us) as a customizable set of XML components ( e.g. Run a Particular Program or display thumbnail of the next web-page in lecture)
SPW's can be thought of as customizable collaborative portals which define both synchronous and asynchronous shared components
