Foil 81 Software Project Manager -- Example of Agent Middleware

From Impact of NII on Manufacturing MAME Seminar -- 11 October 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

One current WebWork/WebFlow application, prototyped at NPAC, is Software Project Manager (Screen 8). Each software developer runs his/her WebTools server and uses HySource CASE tools. These servers are WWVM-connected to agent and manager servers. Agent server receives automatic notifications from developers servers on each software volume update, and uses customizable thresholds to decide when to fire a report to the manager or a deadline reminder to a developer.
Software Project Manager tools contains a simple agent server that mediates between client/consumer ( here manager) and servers/producers (here developers).
