Foil 16 Special Portals -- Computing I

From Distributed Objects and Portals for Earthquake Science GEM Meeting NPAC -- June 24-25 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox
So we can discuss some special portals
  • Real World Wide Web and 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 (as in Javelin++ at ACM Conference June 99)
  • 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
