Abstract
Web Technologies for Collaborative Visualization and Simulation
Web technologies - in particular linked Java servers and clients - allow
new dynamic collaborative environments linking people and computers
(collaboratories). We describe the architecture of a system, TANGOsim,
that combines a Java collaborative environment with an executive
providing general message filters, and an event driven simulator. The
initial application is to command and control, but we describe how this
approach can also be used in other areas, such as health care,
scientific visualization, and (distance) education.
