From Emerging Network(Web) Technologies for Scientific Computing CRPC NSF Review -- August 16 1996 . by Geoffrey C. Fox
Secs 89
1 Build initial experiments conservatively so insensitive to rapid evolution of Web
2 Note Problem Solving Environments and "Forces Modelling" (Human/Instrument in the loop) applications require integration of computing and collaboration
  • Java Servers (merge Jigsaw and Habanero!) provide this
3 Succesful examples:
  • RSA-130 Factoring on the Web (embarassingly parallel) completed (NPAC, Boston, BellCore)
  • NEOS (Argonne) and Netsolve (Tennessee)
  • NCSA Biology Workbench uses classic CGI Web to integrate many biology simulation packages
