7: Overall Integration of GEMCI into a PSE(Problem Solving Environment)
Develop a web-based tool-kit (tool-kit, portal, PSE similar concepts) for GEM
Use commercial distributed object web approach which is growing in popularity
- for instance, NPAC has successfully applied this in a few NCSA and DoD “Problem Solving Environments”. Such a commodity software system naturally tracks rapid evolution of technologies and preserves rich functionality (UNIX and Windows compatibility, easy access to databases etc.) Leads to more maintainable systems.
As object web is still under development, recommend modest effort compatible with general principles. Details will emerge ….
Include in PSE support for data manipulation and simulation; composition of components
