Foil 90 WebWisdom Design Details - I

From The Use of Web Technologies (at NPAC) in HPCC Collaboration and Education Trip to Digital Corporation in New Hampshire -- May 8 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
The layered design includes a secure database at its core on top of which are built a set of services including
  • audio and video servers; basic Web servers and a
  • collaboration subsystem which is heart of both asynchronous and synchronous delivery.
  • This has a set of basic collaboration capabilities including chat, audio-videoconferencing, whiteboard and shared applications.
The communication system supports the worldwide delivery and includes support for distributed databases to get high performance with for instance core courseware replicated on delivery machines with CD-ROM's or other such mechanisms.
