Foil 67 NPAC Strategy: Technology and Application Niches

From General Collection of Foils for CRPC Annual Meeting CRPC Annual Meeting -- 14-17 May 1996 Argonne. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 At NPAC, we follow a two-prong strategy, including component technology prototyping and integration technology development. --
2 Some component technology prototype projects are short lived -- their goal is to provide us with 'look ahead' and placeholders for the industry modules to come
3 For example, NPAC '95 prototypes such as WebTools, WebMail or WebDBMS are now being (partially) offered by Netscape in their '96 browsers and servers.
4 Meanwhile, however, we were able to make the next step in the conceptual design and start addressing the larger scope Web software system integration issues in terms of our '95 component technology prototypes.
5 We call them WebTop Systems or distributed applications based on leading edge Web technologies and the emergent WebWindows operating system.
