Foil 4 Some Recent Web Developments

From NASA/MADIC NII Requirements for ASOP Langley Review NASA/MADIC Langley Review on NII Requirements for ASOP -- July 26-27 1995 NASA Langley Virginia. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 WebMagic -- HTML editor which essentially integrates server and Netscape client on a single computer for fast client stand-alone editing.
2 VRML which is a 3D data structure which could be used in display of ASOP physical artifacts. It is based on open subset of SGI Inventor database technology. VRML viewers are just coming out
3 JAVA has just been released by a group in Sun and in some ways competes with VRML (viewers). It is a Client technology which includes a C++ subset interpreter allowing clients to spawn processes called Applets. This makes clients "intelligent" and largely indistinguishable in functionality with servers.
4 Note future Web Architecture will be Server-Server. Not Client-Server.
