Foil 4 WebFlow Applications
From Overview of WebFlow Applications as Multi-Tier HPCC MetaComputing Technical Session SC98 Orlando -- November 10-12 1998. byTom Haupt
WebFlow applications are composed of independent reusable modules
Modules are written by module developers
people who have only limited knowledge of the system on which the modules will run.
The WebFlow system hides module management and coordination functions
allocating and running the modules on various machines, creating connections among the modules, sending and receiving data across these connections, or running several modules concurrently on one machine.
