Computing on the Pragmatic Object Web

We discuss the Pragmatic Object Web (POW) and how to use it in the HPcc High Performance Commodity Computing based on POW with a hybrid multi-tier model

We describe metacomputing and parallel computing based on these concepts

We give examples of using WebFlow with Globus and show this gives natural integration of CORBA into HPCC

The use of HLA/RTI as control of a bunch of workstations is recommended
