Foil 40 Special Portals -- Computing I

From Case Studies in Internetics-- Introductory Material CPS714 Computational Science Information Track -- May 23 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox
So we will discuss some special portals
  • Business Enterprise Intranets
  • Virtual University and Training
  • Science and Engineering Computing Environments
The latter include several projects aimed at harnessing the power of the web to do computing
  • These can be divided into those that harness web clients
  • And those than make networks of Web or distributed object servers
NPAC has focussed on networks of web servers and these fit the portal model well
However there is most computing power in collections of web clients
