| We describe some concepts that will underlie the development of emerging distributed object based systems |
| What is the Web Document Object Model and why is Dynamic HTML (DHTML) intriguing and XML critical |
Why is JavaScript non trivial as the language to capture changes in document object structure and to choose appropriate rendering
|
| Where do CORBA and Jini fit in? |
| We define the Pragmatic Object Web as the emerging synthesis of multiple object models |
| We describe the importance of the Web as a source of information objects and as a mechanism for invoking general server side objects |
| We stress the important role of both Asynchronous and Synchronous collaboration and the web and web-based collaboration allows one to implement it. |
| We use ASC Gateway project as an example of hybrid object systems |
