Foil 43 Special Portals -- Computing II

From Case Studies in Internetics-- Introductory Material CPS714 Computational Science Information Track -- May 23 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


But perhaps more interestingly computing portals involve building a web based problem solving environment to link together all the capabilities needed to compute
run programs and access dynamically status of jobs and computers -- in particular allow a uniform interface to running a given job on one of many backend compute servers
compile and debug programs
link diverse data sources with computations run on multiple backend machines
visualize results
web-based help systems and collections of related scientific papers
computational steering i.e. interacting with a job (change parameters) based on dynamic results such as visualized results
