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
At NPAC, we follow a two-prong strategy, including component technology prototyping and integration technology development. --
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
For example, NPAC '95 prototypes such as WebTools, WebMail or WebDBMS are now being (partially) offered by Netscape in their '96 browsers and servers.
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.
We call them WebTop Systems or distributed applications based on leading edge Web technologies and the emergent WebWindows operating system.
