Foil 8 Some Tactical Opportunities of Web Technologies - I

From Commodity(Web) Technologies in the service of Computational Grids Argonne Workshop on Computational Grids -- 7-10 Sept 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


So this is partly use of Web Software to build computational grids of any architecture
Perhaps VRML or Java3D are important for scientific visualization
Web (including Java applets) front-ends provide convenient customizable interoperable user interfaces to HPCC facilities
Perhaps the public key security and digital signature infrastructure being developed for electronic commerce, could enable more powerful approaches to secure HPCC systems
Perhaps Java will become a common scientific programming language and so effort now devoted to Fortran and C++ tools needs to be extended or shifted to Java
