From Tango Futures: XML for Portals, Web-based Collaboration and Distance Education Rice University Tango Tutorial -- October 18 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 There is a lot of interest in portals these days
2 We build Web-based computing environments which are portals to Supercomputers and Web-based education or portals to a virtual university
3 Merrill Lynch predicts that Enterprise Information portal market will be $15B by 2002
4 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)
5 SPW's can be thought of as customizable collaborative portals which define both synchronous and asynchronous shared components
