| WebWork pilot project is a collaboration between NPAC, Boston University and Cooperative Systems Corporation, MA. It will prototype a candidate VSL, WWVM, Java based user interfaces, and port selected Grand/National Challenge applications to this platform. |
| The project will use NPAC WebTools to bootstrap the software process and will prototype WWVM in terms of current Web technologies (Screen 1) |
| Technically, early WWVM will include existent Web Servers with add-on CGI (Perl) scripts that build server-to-server communication and offer document database management, and module publication and linkage/instantiation support. |
| This base model will be further extended and refined by using and driving evolving Web technologies. For example, the disk-based model in Screen1a will likely evolve towards memory-mapped model based on multi-threaded interpreted compute-servers (Screen 1b) |
