| 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. |
| MetaWeb will be designed to be fully fault tolerant. Not only will it be able to reboot itself and retain its previous status but also be able to resume or restart failed application jobs. This ability is enabled by the fully duplicated design of MetaWeb and also by the use of a persistent database to maintain the Metacomputer's current status |
