Foil 48 Some remarks on WebWork -- HPCC with the Web

From Business Opportunities and Advanced Web Technologies Case Center Meeting -- 13 November 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

One of the neatest ideas is WebFlow which is the Web implementation of dataflow which is seen in
  • AVS or Khoros for computing
  • Workflow Systems for project management
With Web we can integrate computing and information processing giving a wonderful software engineering environment with for instance
  • Hyperlinked debugging and help systems -- see HyPerl
In the longer term, we can see parallel concepts of
  • VRML -- distributed 3D objects
  • Fortran/C++ to support shared memory environment on metacomputers
  • Note Java is a simplification of C++ and could be important here!
