Foil 111 Near and Future Projects - MetaWeb

From MetaComputing -- MRA Meeting Part II:The Practical Issues Tutorial for CRPC MRA Meeting at Cornell -- May 7 1996. by Mark Baker, Geoffrey Fox
1 The primary objective of MetaWeb is to increase the through-put of user applications by utilising the wealth of existing networked computing resources efficiently and effectively together. A side product of this objective is the encouragement of individuals, groups and organisations to collaborate in setting up and utilising MetaWeb to build a global Metacomputer.
2 MetaWeb will be a truly heterogeneous package capable of managing resources ranging from personal computers running Windows 95 or NT through to vector/MPP supercomputers - this capability will be based on the use of pervasive WWW software such as HTML, HTTP and Java.
