Boston University Cooperating Systems Collaboration -- II?

From NII Technologies from WebTop Productivity to Computing Minnesota Presentations at Cray Research and University -- 13-14 November 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
Geographically distributed and Web-published WebWork modules interact by HTTP/MIME based message/object passing and form distributed computing surfaces called Compute-Webs
The front-end user/client interfaces are provided by evolving Web browsers with increasing support for two-way interactivity (e.g. Java, VRML) that facilitates client side control and authoring.
A natural user-level metaphor -- WebFlow -- is supported in terms of visual interactive compute-web authoring tools.
