1 | General need for launching large-grain computations from simple web interface; often as part of larger computation where data flows between modules. |
2 | Can be implemented today using Java & CGI, but emerging technologies (CORBA, HLA, etc.) promise to be even more powerful. |
3 | Approach fits with NPAC's WebFlow technology for dynamic coupling problems, WebFlow also being linked to Globus metacomputing framework (NSF) and CORBA (ARL MSRC) |
