This surveys "old" Web Technology characterized by passive browsers and CGI enhanced servers. This is contrasted with the major new Web Technologies including VRML, PERL5, Java and JavaScript and illustrated by Netscape 2.0 |
We discuss the integration of the best technologies from "other computing arenas" (from PC to HPCC) including database, collaboration, Compression, GIS, Security, Network Protocols, CORBA, Multimedia Servers as well the many physical infrastructures of importance. |
Emerging overall Web Concepts such as WebWindows WebWork and WebScript |
Further major changes with the support of full televirtuality are expected with the evolution of interactive 3D worlds in VRML 2.0 |
