| 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. |
| 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. |
