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). |
