Foil 7 Web Phase Transition/Revolution '95/'96 - I

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


Until '95, Web was perceived as a hot novelty with yet to be defined serious killer applications (other than Mosaic->Netscape), market segments and business models.
In '95/'96, industry started to embrace Web as a promising viable platform for doing new style agile (faster, cheaper and better) computing in variety of information and computation domains.
There is still no single large scale killer application but rather a growing set of Intranet based information/computation systems that use open Web technologies to prototype proprietary systems for internal corporate use in a more cost effective fashion that in the PC/Windows framework
