From Master Foilset Web Based Network Technologies for Scientific Computing CRPC NSF Review August 15-16 1996 -- 16 August 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Secs 89
Build initial experiments conservatively so insensitive to rapid evolution of Web
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
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
