Foil 10 Web Tech Development: Commerce vs Academia

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 correctly predicted the "revolution" and the current "expansion phase" in our WebWindows presentation at the CRPC annual meeting 1 year ago in Houston.
2 What was a prophecy 1 year ago, becomes everyone's idea today. What is still non-trivial is the proper strategy for academic computer science, given the unprecedented speed of the Web expansion and rapidly melting boundaries between Windows and UNIX.
3 We view the area of distributed Web based computing for PSE as a promising niche, given that industry will continue their focus on client-server aspects of the Web where the near term profit can be made.
4 We expect Web based PSE to evolve starting from the top-down Web interfaces to previous generation legacy systems (current state-of-the-art) and moving towards genuine bottom-up Web infrastructure (WebWindows).
