Foil 55 WebFlow Paradigm

From Software and System Issues in use of Optical Interconnects in MPPs MPPOI 95 Conference -- 24 October 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
User-level WebWork metaphor is given by WebFlow -- a distributed dataflow model built in terms of WebWork modules and MIME object/document communication channels.
  • Think as Web versions of AVS or Khoros
WebWork users will build and control distributed computing applications (compute-webs) using Web browsers based visual interactive editors and monitors.
We are currently prototyping such WebFlow front-ends at NPAC using Java/HotJava model. WebWork modules are represented by Java threads (Screen 6) and visualized as interactive interconnected icons (Screen 7)
