Foil 74 Software Project Manager -- Example of Agent Middleware

From Challenges and Opportunities for Information Technology in ECS ECS Faculty Retreat -- 15 October 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
One current WebWork/WebFlow application, prototyped at NPAC, is Software Project Manager (Screen 8). Each software developer runs his/her WebTools server and uses HySource CASE tools. These servers are WWVM-connected to agent and manager servers. Agent server receives automatic notifications from developers servers on each software volume update, and uses customizable thresholds to decide when to fire a report to the manager or a deadline reminder to a developer.
Software Project Manager tools contains a simple agent server that mediates between client/consumer ( here manager) and servers/producers (here developers).
