WebWork is an open, world-wide distributed computing environment based on computationally extended Web Technologies
The backend computation and information infrastructure is provided by the World-Wide Virtual Machine -- a mesh of computationally extended Web Servers (called Compute Servers)
These servers manage (via CGI mechanisms) a collection of standardized computational units called WebWork Modules.
