Foil 5 PSE and the Web -- Base Concepts

From Problem Solving Environments from Simulation, Medicine and Defense using the Web CRPC Annual Meeting -- May 14-17 1996. by Geoffrey Fox, Wojtek Furmanski


1 We adopt a broad view/definition of Problem Solving Environment as a distributed system capable of attacking complex, so far unsolvable problems by integrating information and computation.
  • This includes both scientific and large scale enterprise computing systems.
2 Development of such systems was slow/inefficient so far due to the separation of (lower end) PC computing world (focused on productivity tools for information processing such as authoring or database) and (higher end) UNIX computing world (focused on HPCC)
3 Both platforms become now integrated by the Web phenomenon in the form of what we called WebWindows paradigm.
4 Hence, Web based distributed computing within the WebWindows framework offers a novel, unique and powerful model for PSEs that include and integrate NII and HPCC components.
